Russell called me on his arrival by 4 PM. Then he arrived on time and checked all the mice box traps and filled them in some of them. There were no evidence of any eaten of the lures. Both my garage and outside basements were cleared of any rodents. He also checked the 2 trap boxes outside before leaving.
