That will quickly solve your problem and to put a cherry on the top, a letter from you employer stating your home problems have affected your work performance will help, too. Don't clearly state if your landlord will not give you the reimbursement back for a deposit or compensated rent money back, you will have to go to small claims court by your decision or the landlord's. I will say one thing for all fellow renters: When renting, most sign a one-year rental contract which will require the landlord to get pest control, but if the house is older, it will require a heavy investment, which some will not do, so if you are desperate for a way out and have no grounds to leave and have a not so nice landlord (I would use a more unsuitable word for mine), simply get a note from your doctor saying how much sleep you are losing and sick you feel and how your work and personal life have been affected. Nine times out of 10, if they are outside your house, they will find a way in if there is one, and in the house I was renting, which I vacated, they set up a nest behind the furnace and used the walls and attack for traveling. I hate hurting anything, and I cringe to think of the pain I caused them.Īlso, for anyone living in Canada or somewhere the cities have released new compost bins and some have very small holes in the bottom and mice and other creatures of this sort commonly use this as a food source because they are always close to the house and shelter is usually close by for hiding. However, it was a horrible thing to have to do. I hate mice and rats because they are so nasty and they do carry diseases. Each time I hit them they would say tweet, tweet.

Several years ago we had a family of rats move in, so I put out some rat poison. So here is to the last dinner they will eat. I have no bad feeling on killing them they are a danger to me due to viruses and many other things besides eating my wires maybe cause a fire. I am so, so, so, so freaked out knowing they're above my head. I hope they eat the bait and go outside to find water. Hell no! That's two things I hate in an enclosed space. Mind you I am a military spouse I am used to hearing everything. If we hit the brakes really fast, if we hear rattling across the roof it's just the pellets and if it's clunking, it's the bodies rolling across the ceiling. This morning the whole container is empty Now I'm worried because if they die in the roof/headliner, I can't take it down. I'd never heard any before - just thought I'd put them there, just in case. Because it was a new RV I didn't think I would have any. I swear it had to be a whole army unit in the headliner of the roof of the RV. Then in my brand new RV Rexhall I placed it in the attic area since I figured if they go anywhere it would be there because we have animals and we keep the doors shut. Well, because we are traveling I bought poison pellets and placed them in the kitchen area. I found insulation and tiny pieces of wire in the cabinet and on the counter. I own two RV'S and this winter my 20 year old tells me mom I found rat poop in the pace arrow.

A person won't have to deal with offspring, so smaller numbers to deal with them. And then once they have gradually claimed the house, they could stretch further.Īnyhow, the earlier they are dealt with, the better. They will destroy and disturb one's belongings, along with the noise and disturbing peace of mind and sleep. I'm hoping what you say doesn't make a person too sympathetic, because if the mouse/mice or rats are not dealt with and reproduce, they are bigger problems in terms of numbers when they reproduce, in about 30 days. I know someone who had to euthanize cats because they didn't get adopted, and it was the hardest thing she's had to do for a job, but she knew it had to be done (likely no room, food, or shelter for it in terms of resources, and can't just let it roam in the city-it would cause a disturbance and might get run over by a car or cause an accident through that). Or if they are sick enough, put them in a cardboard box sealed with plastic and a lid, with more poison inside that the rats are trapped with, and check hours or a day later.Īlthough while I'm typing this, it's so much more work so not to feel bad for directly killing them. If a person had time to plan, put on music or the radio while the broom hitting happens, although maybe a person couldn't enjoy that music in quite the same way.

But I guess they were just healthy enough you couldn't throw them in a bag to suffocate (and one bag each, so they don't escape and even that's risky if they escape somehow). May 9, Considering you had *rats*, it's unfortunate the poison didn't just kill them for you.
