So I spent the day cleaning the kitchen from stem to stern (again), finding evidence of my uninvited guest (most of it behind the fridge), but no sign of the bloody thing. I did however find evidence that it had spent time in my bathroom (despite the presence of the litter box). Psycho is thoroughly useless as a mighty hunter. I wouldn't be surprised to go into the bathroom one day to find psyhco teaching it how to use the litter box.
I'd be tempted to move, but I'm afraid it would climb into one of the boxes and move with me. Wish me luck.

Oooh. Ick. Good luck!
Thanks. :)
Rodents love peanut butter and raw bacon. If you're setting out traps, both are good bait (I dropped in to personally wish you luck with NaNo this year -- break a keyboard! -- but I couldn't resist giving advice, as usual. Lol.)
Hi Ann,
I have a suggestion; but use with extreme caution, put a plate of dry old fashion oatmeal. The alluded to creature will eat and then...do not use the restroom without a light. They will seek a water source. Hopefully, yours will not be alive. Good Luck. Jean
Thanks Lynn and Jean for your suggestions. I think I have seen the last of the rodents, the apartment maintenance came in and sealed up the holes into my apartment they'd made when they changed the cabinets and countertops. At least I hope so, I haven't tried opening the vents and turning on the heat.
P.S. I tried putting little pieces of cheese on the glue traps with dollops of peanut butter on them, the bloody mouse just took the pb and ran.
Your "mighty hunter" sounds like mine.
He'll catch the bloody things, but just wants to PLAY with them. Before I recover from screaming and running from the room, he'll let them go to play another day. And I've got THREE cats, so I don't think the litterboxes intimidate them. :-/
Good luck!
