It is with deep regret that I must inform you that Sam has a very large family.
They are nestled deep within the confines of your home and are planning to multiply more. I suggest you keep your dance shoes on, generator primed and your gun loaded.

Gee guys, thanks for all the kind words
.
You guys are right, there probably are more but this one really didn't bug us too much.
Never had live ones in the house for the 16 years that we had the cats.
Guess I will set out one of the traps you guys recommend just to see what I catch.

Oh man. When did that happen.
And Sam's demise wasnt my fault.
However, I really hate it when you guys are right. Wife already saw a smaller one. Looks like the battle has begun.

My cats won't touch them. I think they learned that the short tailed shrew has a very painful venomous bite.
We get em with mouse traps baited with chunky peanut butter. They're pretty crafty and fast. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

GASTP!!! I knew it wasn't an accident!!
Ummm, you might want to skip the magnum loads though. Probably just use the .38's unless we run into a real mean one.
