Subject: Re: mouse problem
anastasia: well, my mouse story was RATS. Now, I like rats.... but I don't trust the wild ones because of diseases. They are a bit of a problem in the area where I live.

We had a couple get into our house, and we figured they'd just get back out again. <buzzer> Wrong answer Jack! In a couple of months we have over 30 rats running though the house. Up in the attic, running up and down inside the walls. I didn't want to kill them, so I plugged up the holes they were chewing with steel wool, All that did was make them FURIOUS and they would actually eat through the steel wool. We tried the live traps, glue traps & Dcon poison. None of that worked. They'd walk right through the glue traps, and DCon was just a tasty snack, literally. They had green poop from it. lol.

Not only were they in our clothes, and destroying the house, they were also in our stock for sale we kept there. I lost several thousand $$ worth of clothing. They also damaged the wiring in the walls.

After 6 months, we gave up and bought some poison called Havoc. They were dead within 2 to 3 days. Uh, we did have to kinda move out for a week though, since they died inside the walls. 30 dead rats were a bit smelly.

Now the next winter, we had 1 more get in, but he was behaved, and would stay in one corner. In the spring, he disappeared so I think he actually left. I think i finally found the break in the foundation where they were getting in, and now we don't get visitors anymore.

Eriisa: OMG!! I think I would have moved!! Actually...I was watching a show about infestations on rats and mice....bugs,stuff like that and they had cameras set up in this one couples house in New York City...guess it was a condo or something actually...anywho,they had literally HUNDREDS of rats running through the attic and walls...they DID have to move...not sure what they did to solve the problem tho,I can't remember,lol....The rats in NY aren't affraid of humans anymore and they say that they have to keep changing the poisons for them and roaches because every so many months the new babies are immune to the poisons....thats a scary though,huh??
