When we arrived at our house after having been gone for almost 6 months, we found that some critters had worked the whole time in preparing us a special surprise.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/a>
We found this skeleton in our sink. I'm glad it wasn't alive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first critter that we found was this normally scary thing.\u00a0 This one, however, was not scary as it had long ago died.\u00a0 I think it got stuck in our kitchen sink and died of starvation.\u00a0 No food and no way to escape.\u00a0 This is the one and only one we’ve ever seen in or around our house.\u00a0 Hopefully this is the last.<\/p>\n

We found tons of evidence of other creatures. We wept and gnashed our teeth as we cleaned the house (every single nook and cranny) for 2 days and found countless things the mice gotten into and destroyed. So, we found all the traps we owned and Tom set them.<\/p>\n
