We have the spiders, the box elder beetles, crickets and various other annoying pests. Those don't bother me much. However, this knowledge did not prepare me for what I saw as I tripped down the stairs with a load of laundry in my hands.
One of our traps, which we always have set (just in case!), clipped this little guys toes. I didn't see him until I was nearly on top of him, ugh!!
Here's what happened to the laundry:
I was on the stairs above, shrieking and shaking.
Now I was stuck with a dilemma. What should I do? Would it stay put until DH got home?
Not a chance.
It was up to me. So I did what any woman who is good at preserving would do. I canned it.
Put my Kerr jar to good use!
Goodbye little mouse! Tell your friends to find a new home!

Eek is right. We also get little critters in our house. Aaaah!! I LOVE your ingenuity with the canning jar! Good one.
Awesome blog!By 'canning' the little devil you 'preserved' your sanity. As you may remember we have a homeless cat who lives under our sunroom. She takes care of any mice or rat problems. I thought she was pregnant one year because she was so fat.
Emily was telling me about this, I was hoping you would blog about it! I loved the pic of what happened to the laundry, lol.
I caught about 30 of the little buggers in jars when I was there. Not at once though.
