Yuck!!! Please tell me Ben threw or buried that thing somewhere!<BR/><BR/>You're a brave woman. I've had to battle so few pests. The mice we found in the shed were alive. With babies. :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325492689515460829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-67283673153512097612008-09-13T06:47:00.000-07:002008-09-13T06:47:00.000-07:00*gagging*I can't believe I thought roaches were ba...*gagging*<BR/><BR/>I can't believe I thought roaches were bad... Actually, they are bad. Very bad. But not stinky. And now they are gone, gone, gone!! I highly recommend Orkin-- they do mice and rats, too. I don't know how that would work when you're technically a renter, but those folks are awesome! I haven't seen a single roach in months now. It's a blessed feeling.lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-6278603086117564592008-09-13T05:34:00.000-07:002008-09-13T05:34:00.000-07:00oh,...yuck. so much for the cheerios I was just ea...oh,...yuck. so much for the cheerios I was just eating :)<BR/>Thats pretty nasty!!

Go figure. I'm just glad Jeff is the one that usually feeds the dog;)<BR/>Jeff set traps, too, and I think we caught at least one, but not enough to account for the nasty infestation smell!!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641734420055203960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-63251965281851790332008-09-12T22:14:00.000-07:002008-09-12T22:14:00.000-07:00Actually, exterminators have told me that traps ar...Actually, exterminators have told me that traps are much better at getting RID of them, because then they don't eat the poison & go off and die in your heat vents. We caught FOUR large rats in our shed.....this one was tiny compared to the others!!!! I still have NO IDEA why in the HECK it got into such an open spot and just *up and died* !!Susannah Forsheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789037705502234165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-80201903862841650252008-09-12T21:52:00.000-07:002008-09-12T21:52:00.000-07:00OHHHHHHHH!

My first encounter was at night going out to the freezer out there in my bare feet and seeing one run across my path just in front of me!!! Then the smells started. Be glad yours is in a contained place and easy to get rid of. Ours comes and goes -- and we're not sure why it comes and goes. We've found 2 dead ones in Bear's food (2 different times) and poo pellets all over the place (we had to wash and "sanitize" EVERYTHING that might have come into contact with anything "mouse" related in the whole garage -- per Jeff's insanity over germs!). We put out the poison, never saw any get eaten, and still have the smell (at times). UGH! Such a lovely problem to have ongoing. Makes me wish we rented and could just make our landlord get and exterminator!;)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641734420055203960noreply@blogger.com
