#536...rats

I'm headed into my attic for an unpleasant task. While we were away, some scurrying residents moved in upstairs and they are making a ton of noise at night, not to mention it sounds like they are chewing on electrical wires...or the walls...whatever it is, it's loud!

I bought two traps and some poison packets. I'm going to start with the poison packets as the trap seems a little barbaric, and dying peacefully in your sleep after eating poison seems a very romantic Romeo and Juliet like way to go. Wish me luck with the poison, because if it does not work I'm going to have to snap their little necks!

  1. Best of luck with this, but one piece of advice after years working in a very, very old hotel; Dead rodents smell very very bad.:-( and will be much easier to remove if attached to a large trap, as opposed to feeling ill and looking for a deep dark hole (ie, our walls) in which to crawl and spend the last few living moments.
