When it rains, it pours (ants, mice and moths!)

Hi reader, We've lived in our house for almost 5 years and in this time, we've only ever had ONE issue with pests or rodents (two flies made babies under the carpet while we were out of town and we came home to flies all over the house!). It would only be fitting then, to run into not one, not two, but THREE issues in the week leading up to our Epic Road Trip, right? First it was a mouse… I found droppings in the pantry and the mouse had a feast with our pecans and powdered sugar. Then it was moths… One morning there were four moths in the basement. The next day, there were four more. By day three I did some digging and realized the moths started a family in a bag of flour. Then it was flying ants… I noticed one while putting my contacts in one morning. They aren't uncommon in our area, especially when it rains (and it has been a VERY rainy summer for us), but thankfully they were limited to just the master bathroom. And as I write this, it's another mouse. This sneaky guy ate the peanut butter clean off the trap while walking away unscathed! Husband and I teamed up - he bought a few plastic bins for our grains and flours in the basement, picked up a few more mouse traps and moth traps. I thoroughly vacuumed the basement (including checking above for moths) and verified that no more bags had been chewed into. In just a few minutes, we had already caught two moths in the trap! We're going to ask the neighbor to check on the house once a week… JUST IN CASE… and replace the mouse / moth traps if they're full. Obviously we won't know if this worked or not until we're home, but let's keep our fingers crossed! ALL my best ♥, PS: Just because we're on the road, doesn't mean things aren't happening at Crumbs.
