A Mouse?

Interesting things happen at our house lately. We recently resorted to Raid to try to kill fruit flies that were invading the kitchen from bananas. It was disgusting! The other night I removed things I didn't want to have to wash and included the perishable things like bread and bagels. They were put on the back porch overnight. Then my son sprayed everything with Raid Flying Insect Killer before he went to bed. It did get rid of most of the bugs, but we decided we needed to do it again the next night.

The first morning I noticed that muffins that had been placed in a plastic bag had been chewed on and one bagel was missing. Since we had recently screened in the back porch it had to be something that came up from under the house. At first I thought it was mice, but couldn't figure out how they could take off with the plastic wrapped bagel. Also the table everything was sitting on has metal legs. This morning we decided it must have been a cat that somehow got under the porch from the other side of the house. 

Next project, is to cover the only small space left between the house and the porch so it will be safe from small animals crawling in. Pretty sure it wasn't a mouse after all!
