Sounds like Ernie is up for the night. There is action between the walls. He even seems to have a new noise this evening. It sounds like some sort of a secret knock (I’m not making this up btw. lol) I’m going to try to get this on video if I can…it’s too good not to share.
Hey baby - You can hear me typing?
There’ll be more action later if you know what I mean! Just don’t wear those damn socks ok? Right turn off for a T-Ermine like me.[/quote]
A chipmonk got into my house last winter. It was impossible to catch him so I opened up the front door and kinda chased him toward it. When he got to the door, he stopped, looked back at me, and then bolted out.

Didn’t I tell you this girl is crazy? She posts pictures and plans to trap me and then wonders why I’m such a tricky little varmint.
Sheesh! Women!
And those socks! Actually they are growing on me a little. They look like a couple of twins that I knew a while back. They kept trying to play me off between each other until I caught them at it one night. A few glasses of carrot juice and they were putty in my paws.
Well it looks like she’ll be out for a while yet so I think I’ll grab a beer and see what’s on TV. I was amazed at the amount of porn available - National Geographic channel should come with a warning!
Ermintrude! Been a while you sexy little minx! What you been up to? If I can manage to reach the phone here I’ll give you a call. Well it’s not my phone bill is it?

Don’t look at me mate. I thought it might have been football061 having a laugh.
All I know is some furry four leg is flirting more than I do![/quote]
Haha, I don’t think I’m that creative enough. But Damici was right, he does have a slight British twang about him…Ren, is that your inner animal coming out again? Must be the side that got you those good scores on the kinky test…hahah

He’s not going to fall for the trap unless you get him comfortable with it. First, you’ve got to figure out what he likes, so leave a couple of different kinds of food on a plate in the area you see him in. Try the sardines, some cheese, some fruit. Once he’s eating there nightly, you can start leaving the trap next to the plate, but don’t put the food in the trap yet. Then put the food just inside the trap, but not all the way in. When he’s used to that, put the food all the way in.
Whatever food you put out for him, don’t touch it with your bare hands, but wear gloves. Not latex gloves either, but those plastic food service gloves.
You’re either going to have to take your time, and do this the humane way, or you can just call the exterminator, which won’t be cheap.
Personally, I’d make peace with the little guy, feed him, and as long as he isn’t causing problems, let him stay. They eat insects, mice, moles and rats. You live in the country, and if you don’t have some kind of killing machine living with you, like a dog, cat, or little Colonel Wigglesworth here, you’re going to have pest control problems sooner or later.

I’m flattered, but you’ll note a lack of ‘…’ with which I am incapable of expressin’ myself…
I believe Ernie’s drawl is a mix of Montana and Arctic Polar Adventurer courtesy of Professor Push…matey…he seems to have dissapeared right around the time Ernie arrived on the scene…aaaaarrrrrrrgh.
