I had a hard time cleaning it because it smelled pretty funny and I was in the nauseating phase of my last pregnancy. Lol. Wouldn’t mind trying again. New trapper! Really excited to learn!

I think I came in after them but I’ve heard mouse reference once before. I tried trapping them for a bit with a large homemade live trap but was never successful, that was before I actually got into trapping though. I was just wingin it. Lol. New trapper! Really excited to learn!
