Some weird little critter has been leaving teeny little poops in my strollers and the Roundabout in my garage (I complained about him before, he took some of the fluff off my Aloha cover )... and now he's after my rear driver's side seatbelt. At first I thought it was the belt rubbing really bad in the Recaro Start belt guide, but when a second 'bite' appeared in my seatbelt and some of the plastic is missing from the shell where the belt goes into the wall... and now that I think of it, there's been weird beeps in my doors (electric sliders that should NOT be beeping when the car's in motion ). So it seems this mystery critter (really, poops too small for a mouse... more like a massive cockroach.. but mammalian... a shrew? I don't really want to google for pictures of scat...) used to have many crumbs to feast on, but when I cleaned the car, is when it started chowing on the car (or nesting? we've had a slight chill at night...nothing more cozy than seatbelts and papertowels!). How is it living in my van in the sunshine? My car sits there for days in the heat! It's cousin is in the garage eating my other various crumbs and it broke into a bag of grass seed...
So we took out all my beloved carseats (which I *just* set up to my satisfaction last week...grrr... 2 Starts and a Radian, they aren't light!) and dh suggested putting them in the house for protection and we put a cute little plastic mousetrap gadget filled with peanut butter and a kix in it... fingers crossed that little beastie finds his way in there... DH also wants to bug bomb in there... um... well, I guess that would knock it lifeless...peeeeeyoooooo, though! And then I'll have to get the seatbelt replaced...it's 90% wide still, it'll hold a 55 pound kid who's in it once a week, but I'm not really happy (ok flaming myself... I'll move her to another seat, I promise...)
