Do you have rodents/pests in your house?

Rodents/ pests?

[sciguy_0504]

Me and my mom are neat freaks. We had mice in the garage a couple of years ago and it was disgusting. Let's just say they were exterminated really quickly. If my sister were left to clean, though, I'm scared what I'd find.

This one is a real winner. Just kidding. No. The place I live is built on a slab and is newer. Now, when I had a townhome outside of Seattle, it was built over a crawl space. For some reason, I had to go down there and found some mousetraps that the previous owner had left behind. There were some remnants of a decomposing rodent in one. But I never saw any when I lived in it for over 3 years. How the hell does one come up with a poll question like this? :blink:

Mice... the cats have been catching them as of late. They're good little mousers but never eat their kill. I'm renting this shithole so I'm not too concerned.

Once in the great while we might get a mouse in the basement. Dad usually manages to find the holes and fill them with roofing cement. Its not a real problem though.

the spiders and centepedes keep away any and all other comers at my place.

Mice are a problem in the country in the winter. If you dont have new construction up on concrete or block and tightly built they are a real pain. We had lots of problems before we put the full basement under this former "camp".

[NOS2006]

Nope. Once in a great while we get these huge centipede type things (Golden Fishers I think they're called?) in the basement or garage, but that's pretty much it. Unless you count pets..

[staceface]

very few mice (but had one last year), and in the summer a bat flew in through my wide open patio door......

When you live in a 150+ y/o house... you're going to have bug problems. Well, atleast mine does. Flies, wasps, spiders, and depending on the season, those goddamn ladybugs. Ugh... I hate my house...

I had to shoo a couple of double-hump camels out of my basement family room the other week, other than that, not much.

Question: when do we get to see testicles? Post a photo, please! :)

[bobo]

No rodents. Occasionally ants. Sometimes a stray cockroach (yuck!) will come in from the outside. I put boric acid in the walls when the house was built, and I think that helps because a lot of the bugs I see are dead.

[cmattson]

Neither. The house is fairly new (built less than a year ago). I've got a protected-area behind my back yard -- so it's fairly wild. I see rabbits, deer, and a few gardener snakes -- so I wouldn't be surprised if my position changes somewhere down the road. Edited January 4, 2006 by cmattson

I called the Council Rat Catcher. He Told me I had Sheep. It had a Gun and shot at him. And now for something completely different.

[NOS2006]

Oh, I forgot one. During the summer, our Golden Retriever brought a baby bunny in the house without us knowing and put it in my parents' bedroom. My mom and dad went to bed and my mom heard scurring in her closet, so she opened the door to it a bit (somehow it got closed) and there was a brown bunny sitting there. Crazy.

Dude, I'm talking about you. Fully clothed. We still need permission? :huh:

My brother had a mess of rats in his '36 house last summer. They were in the basement, the walls, the attic... One day we were boarding & blocking things up and I saw 3 of them. They bored a hole from the outside into the basement and were running wild. We blocked up all the holes and they're gone now. I had a few mice in the attic & garage last summer, so I blocked things up and left them some 'appetizers'- they seem to be gone. My house is a '92. I won't tolerate living with mice. I had an aunt who lived up in Vermont in a house she dated back to at least 1812 (Coolest place in the world). She would catch the mice in traps, carry them outside and set them free. Undoubtedly they would scurry right back inside before she herself got back in. That place was riddled with mice. Edited January 4, 2006 by balthazar
