As a renter, the good times just keep on rolling…

Marion –
You sure get all the men going on this site! BTW, you should be nicer to HLS, he’s actually quite charming.

As a woman, I agree rodents are awful! Back in Seattle I had a problem with rats in my shed. I didn’t realize storing bird seed was a rat magnet. One day in early Spring I went into the shed to get some sluggo and a freakin rat jumped out of the container at me – I screamed and ran away as my 5 year old son laughed and thought the little “mouse” was cute.

Anyway, I certainly understand your desire to have the landlord deal with the issue, but unfortunately rodents are a part of life around here. A poster above mentioned that you might want to pick you battles – I would agree with them. Is this what you want to battle your landlord on?

Renting does suck, but so does owning right now 🙂

Sd, since I love to bake homemade cookies you may be on to something…

I could dress up as Minnie Mouse, and take a platter of freshly baked cookies to the mice. It would go something like this:

Marion: “excuse me. excuse me. Mr. Mouse, I’m scared of you, so would you kindly take your family and leave if I give you these nice cookies?”

I wonder if they like gingerbread…

marion: Uh, I think SDR was implying your lad might be partaking of the wacky tobacky. Being 15 and all, there is a distinct possibility he is… And, quality reefer does attract the rodents, both the two and four legged varieties.

Not that I would know from first-hand experience, but one hears stories.

recordsclerk: “If you don’t have pets or young children, you can use rat poisen/pellets. It works better then traps, but you might still have to remove the dead mice. Put the poisen or traps in places where you’ve seen mice droppings. If you see obvious holes in house that need to be sealed you can request that you landlord take care of the problem.”

I could have my son set out some traps. As I said, we tried the ones that smash them in half, but maybe we didn’t put out enough of them. I thought they were gone. We used the peanut butter like the directions stated.

Now, I’m wondering about the poison traps. Someone said that it’s really nasty because the mice bleed from being poisoned. Is this true?
