Of Mice and Men

So there is a mouse in my apartment, and i think it's smarter than i am. I've done everything i can to get rid of it. For the tree hugging animal rights activist, i tried the humane aproach. Thwarted! So i whipped out the heavy arsenal! I got pellets, i got the poison pellet feeding station, i got the sticky paper, i got the new state of the art traps that children and dogs aren't harmed( granted i have neither of the two). I think i've spent close to $20 trying to get rid of this thing. The two boxes of poison pellets was demolished and consumed to the last morsel. The bait in the traps... Empty, (traps still armed). This started out as just a kitchen problem!
After a week or two go by, i no longer see or hear signs of intellegent life in my kitchen. I had closed off my kitchen to contain the mouse or mice to the kitchen. Well today, i'm sitting at my computer, and i hear a little rustling coming from my heating vent. There it was, that damn little mouse, IN MY ROOM. My bedroom is on the complete opposite side of the apartment. somehow it had escaped my kitchen stronghold, and had been running rampant around my place while i was gone. So naturally this meant war!
All day today, i chased this thing around. Into the living room, under my sofa, back to my room, and then reapeted in that fashion for about 6 hours off and on. I'd peak my head around the corner, so would the mouse! Then it'd poke it's head back when i did. That damn thing was makin a fool outta me! I chased it into my closet. i got real inventive like Magiver! I grabbed some duct tape, some cardboard, paper, and 2 traps. sealed off the under part of the door except for a small exit way. In front of that exit i set both traps to stun! behind the traps i put sticky paper, and behind the paper, i built an enclosed wall made of duct tape and cardboard! I was pretty proud of myself. i even put a tortilla chip in there for bait. So i felt pretty good, and i went to have sushi. I get home, and see the trap had been sprung. No mouse, no tortilla chip, then out of the corner of my eye, the damn scoundrel runs into the living room! It got out unscaved!!! I gave up. I said "listen you little jerk, you can have the place, see what i care." About an hour later it runs from under the couch into the kitchen. I ran and grabbed my duct tape. Let's just say i won't be eating for the rest of the night. Sealed tight, like a prank on April fools day! So i'm just gonna call the landlord and have an exterminator get his ass kicked by a little old mouse. I'm done!!!
