Ever since the new neighbors moved in, some people in our family have been scheming how to persuade them to relocate.

After loading mousetraps with peanut butter, we were confident that they would reconsider their choice of nesting spots.

Jake was surprisingly unafraid to approach their dwelling in order to strategically place the tools of deterrence.

The rest of us hid behind the closed window in case the neighbors protested in their oh-so unique and distinct way.

The next day, it was observed that the peanut butter was missing from the un-triggered traps.  We were outsmarted by the new neighbors.  Back to the drawing board.
