Marion,
You certainly are a lightning rod for conversation. Whether intentional or not (and I think not), your posts and comments get responses. Perhaps its the feminine advantage (or disadvantage as this board is dominated by males), but you take everything in stride and have thick skin (probably softer than most of ours).
I too was pretty put off by Navydoc’s comments. As an Air Force officer, I think all military officers try to carry ourselves a little more professionally than that. That stuff flies with the sailors and airmen when we’re out at sea or deployed, but we should probably leave it there too.
I had a mouse problem in a brand new house in Colorado a few years ago. Just kept trapping the little buggers (I was an owner then). I had two raccoons in my garage the other night eating our dog food…they scurried off when they saw me. In no hurry mind you, just kind of trotted away.

December 19, 2007 at 5:18 PM #120956Allan from FallbrookParticipantTrojan4Life: Air Force officer? Man, I hope you weren’t a jet jock! You guys used to drop bombs on us all the time! Besides everyone knows that the Army officer corps is the backbone of this fine nation. Now that I have the propaganda out of the way, I’d like to get back to the rodent/vermin infestation issue.
When I was a kid, we had a big Rottie named Thor. Thor would routinely frag cats, squirrels, rabbits and other small, furry woodland creatures. I bring this up because I had the thankless task of cleaning up after he was done. Set some traps, and have Junior do cleanup after the traps have triggered. You don’t have to deal with the unsightly issue of dead vermin, and your 15 year old learns to cowboy up and be a man.

marion, marion, first get some valerian
then get a tin cat from the hardware store – you can catch them live and have your son take them to the field. He probably likes rodents like most kids. Or get a cat to control the mice. If your neighbors are pack rats you could report the problem to the health dept. good luck
