Ratatouille was in my house.
Last week my wife was watching TV during the night and suddenly she saw a small thing passing by the living room. First she thought about a spider but the 'little thing' reappeared right after and my wife discovered that it was a mouse.
I was sleeping when it happened. So -like every woman- she cried out and run upstairs to wake me up. She told me about the little mouse inside our house.
At first I thought about buying a mousetrap that would kill it. But after all said to myself that this mouse was just trying to feed itself. So I looked up on the internet if it was possible to build a homemade humane mousetrap.
I saw that with a simple plastic bottle, 2 pencils, 2 rubber bands and a string (and of course a peanut or a small piece of cheese) I will be able to catch it.
Once the trap was build, I waited for nightime. Then I set it up in the kitchen and turned off the lights. I knew the little rodent would try to sneak out of its hideout when the light would be off. 10 minutes later, I heard that it was inside the bottle, nimbling the little cashew peanut. Suddenly I heard the bottle closing itself up and the mouse was trapped in.
It was a grey/brown really scared mouse. I let it go on the street a few yards away of my house.
The most enjoyable thing was to catch it with a homemade item.
During these days I knew the mouse was sharing the house with us, I give it a nickname: Ratatouille... Like the French rat in the movie...
