Well, it all freaks me out.<br /><br />CathyLane- Thanks for coming by and thanks for those words which give me a bit of a sliver of light of optimism for the future. I am serious.<br /><br />Elizabeth- I will never, ever stop laughing at the thought of this. Thank you.<br /><br />N2- I know that I now must have maggots galore. Hopefully they will stay where I can't see them.<br /><br />Steve Reed- And yes, those variables are ones I do not have control over.

The smell was outrageous, but the best thing that happened is that the ensuing maggots dropped through the ceiling of the girls that lived downstairs, all of whom I couldn't stand.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3864790959547859702013-12-05T00:00:54.649-05:002013-12-05T00:00:54.649-05:00I think that smell is what puts your dwelling plac...I think that smell is what puts your dwelling place off the list of the next generation of rodents. In the lifetime of this house, we had one fell swoop of soccer-playing chipmunks, led to their demise 15 years ago by a peanut butter sticky glue trap, and have had not had hide nor hair since.Engeltina Knickerbockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560824809361422819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-74048855571681886472013-12-04T19:30:06.168-05:002013-12-04T19:30:06.168-05:00Glue boards baited with peanut butter do wonders. ...Glue boards baited with peanut butter do wonders.

It's all pretty exciting and dramatic to me. <br /><br />Ashley- Oh yes. And that was ONE critter. I have no idea how many we've got here. Four? Forty? They sure ate a lot of bait. I mean, A LOT!<br />And yes, we could go to the island except for things like jobs and grandboy-tending. We may have to abandon our duties as well as our house if things get bad enough.<br /><br />Stephanie- Yep. You are exactly right. How ARE you girl? We miss you!<br /><br />Darlene- Hello! I have no idea why that would only happen in the fall either. Weird. Thanks for coming by.<br /><br />Mel- I don't feel real good about poison but things were just getting completely out of control here. Yes. We've been battling the rodents too long. As humans have always done, I suppose. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-77340074834477105432013-12-04T16:48:06.004-05:002013-12-04T16:48:06.004-05:00I wish I didn't know that smell, but I do.

A few weeks from now you will forget, and remember that poison has its drawbacks, especially inside the walls. So does forgetting to check the mousetraps, or forgetting where you put them. We've been battling house rodents for far too long, haven't we?

I called the pest control folks, and they said that short of busting out walls (we think a little critter fell down a wall from the attic-ugh), it was best to leave it be and once it decomposed (ugh again) it wouldn't smell anymore. I bought a shit ton of scentsy and it was gone in a few weeks.
