Traps

The three mouse traps set in the garage late yesterday afternoon were untouched this morning. All three still set and un-sprung. Maybe one more night to be on the safe side.

I noticed when taking the traps down, that their action is not very clean, with the wire bar not coming down clean and straight on the wooden striking plate. So maybe, when life returns to normal, time for some new ones - with these ones all more than ten years old and one or two of them possibly more than twenty.

The rat traps are rather more substantially made things, of galvanised steel rather than wire and wood (see reference 1), and much less likely to be needed. So no action indicated on that front.
