i haven't seen a roach in here, either. if they are eating anything in here at all, they're keeping the roach population down. there's nothing else for them to eat in here.
so i don't really know if the insulation was left by a mouse, and maybe that's unlikely, except that i have a theory.
i think there's a small mouse around here, and rats upstairs. i've been going after the rats, and having some success in blocking them access. the mouse may see me as an ally for that reason. it might want to nest with me for that reason.
i'll also point out that a mouse would love my diet as it's high in cereals, bacon, cheese, yeast, hemp, avocado and spices.

if a mouse has been spying on me, it can see and more importantly smell (mice are nearly blind) that i eat well.
how far have mice been to being domesticated over the last several centuries? i mean house mice. if we weren't so busy trying to kill them, we'd keep them as pets. they like us. we don't like them.
what i'll say about the mouse is that if i can't find any droppings, i won't concern myself with it. i'd have to have a reason to go after it.
it's the rat or rats i want out of here and i'm still studying them to figure out how. it's going to be hard to deal with the problem so long as the upstairs tenants keep food out and in the sink.
i lost yesterday due to the leak and today due to catching up on sleep. i'll be awake overnight and trying to see what they're up to.
