This morning I found a dead mouse floating in the toilet. I have no idea how it got there and I have not seen any mouse droppings anywhere in the house. I can't even understand how it could have climbed up the side of the toilet, and if it were to leap from the tub surround, it would have to be more like a flying mouse since that is about 20" away. A friend suggested that it might have come down the vent pipe, but that extends about 2 feet from the surface of the roof and if it did wind up in the vent pipe, wouldn't it fall straight down the pipe to the main drain?

If you leave the lid up, maybe a cat or dog might drop in there…I guess a relented dog could lift the lid even if it was down for that matter.

Or an interesting choice of bait on the traps….I do wonder what you use for bait on the traps if they jump in bowl though. Seems like no harm no fowl and just flush em.
