"Mouse" in the house

So on Sunday while napping Kevan and I awoke to a chewing sound that was not being made by our cat. Uh oh! Our vigilant cat hung out while all the noise was being made and I tried to scare it off with banging and the Tabernacle choir singing 4th of July tunes. I decided they have pretty good dynamics they should scare him off...as long as the CD didn't skip so much it turned off but I digress.

We stopped hearing the sounds until Wednesday. I again awoke to some rustling in our attic above our bedroom. I thought it was just squirrels on the roof.

Phoenix and I went into the living room and were chilling on the couch checking emails and we heard some noise in the bedroom on the opposite side of the house from the master. Her and I got off the couch and rounded the corner to see a SQUIRREL in the bedroom staring at us! I stared screaming, Kevan came running, I grabbed the camera. We tried a few techniques (including our less than interested cat) and finally got it to launch itself out the window. We haven't heard any more sounds and Kevan has been working on sealing up the house. Man oh man.

Note the bait.
