[CH] Mouse in the house... ChileHead mouse!

Had been having some problems with my seedlings. Some critter was
eating the leaves like a grasshopper. Could not figure it out at first.
Only ate at night. Each day several plants were missing leaves. Then
the whole thing, steam and all. First it just ate a few leaves, then
after a few days it would eat several whole plants each night. When the
critter started digging (to eat the roots?) in the pots I concluded it
was a mouse. Out with the peanut butter baited traps. First night
peanut butter was ignored and 2 more plants were missing! Next night it
ate most of the bait but did not set off the trap and one more plant.
Got the crop robber tonight! (hope there is only one) Reset the trap
just in case his buddies are also around. Never had a mouse problem
before. Anyone else ever had a rodent problem with Chile seedlings?

Enjoy the heat,
