I've read that they can work temporarily, but then that the vermin get used to them. Still, temporarily can be no small thing.

Weird. Sounds like just another govt scheme to make profit off its citizens.

Watch out with catch and release. Not legal in all areas. Check your local Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). I know some people who do that who thereby turn themselves into the neighbors from hell, but that may not apply here.

Nothing beats summer like magenta exploding like fire from the leaves

Financial insecurity is a real thing, and can feel like a monster that haunts us, perhaps all our lives.  I can understand the turmoil that put you through.   You're right that everything is a trade-off, with an opportunity cost ... so you can moan about what you can't do or appreciate what you...

Well and simply said. I had to put my dog to sleep last week and my mother can't stop talking about it and showing me pictures of him.  Brings me to tears almost every time.  Sometimes you need some time to just process things and not have them waved in your face all the time.  I need some time...

I took your advice and got two rat stickies and four mouse stickies, and a Tomcat snap trap.  I think I might go a little nuts and get a bunch more, though.  I really want to deal with this ASAP.  The thought of what even a single rodent can do got (gets) me pretty rattled.

 I do have a couple of pellet rifles and I could put my night vision rifle on the .177.  Don't want to use anything heavier around my unit in case of ricochet.  I've never spotted anything around at night yet, but I might try looking.  Thanks for the suggestion.  And I HAVE had the occasional...

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had never considered that, or that it was necessary, but I might as well.  The price is sure right.

Thanks; oddly enough I hadn't thought of doing an inspection underneath.  I have no hoses running anywhere, only the power cable.  Doors are fine and nothing is ever open buuut ... I didn't seal my storage door underneath for a few minutes during the day of the same night I heard the gnawing in...

Really interesting subject. My dog just died and my mother offered to buy me another one, but I declined because I couldn't be sure the puppy would be manageable/trainable with a regular work schedule, or not be workable as an adult(has to pee, etc.). It's difficult -- pets are a major life...

Sleeping in one a while for committing is the absolute and only way. They are best for side-sleepers, as they tend to be angled a bit up where the knee is and down where your butt is. That's fine for a side-sleeper and terrible otherwise. They are also best for someone usually fairly short...

Oof and I just looked at the Casita site now. It looks like all their prices have gone up about 40% or more already from just a couple years ago. A lot of their stuff that used to be standard is now an extra, and an incredibly expensive extra here and there. Doubled or more. I could see this...

Okay thanks for the advice -- I know you are right about the smell of a dead rat within the walls.  It can be overpowering, as I've experienced with sticks'n'bricks housing. Still, I don't know how to get access to my inner walls and roof.  It's all sealed off, as it should be.  I looked in my...

Dangit.  That is what my end-game trailer has always been.  That just makes it worse. And my Wolf Pup is now having a mouse or rat gnawing at the roof from somewhere inside.  Hot it got in there I don't know.  How to get it out, I don't know either.  But I do know it's raining and I know the...

Gnawing in the roof of my trailer.  I thought maybe heard it in the wall.  Second night back here after six months of being a live-in caretaker, so I was basically never here.  Trailer looks intact, but something got in.  Now I'm here to know about it, and it's supposed to be my place to live. ...

Human urine being sterile is among our more ridiculous myths.  And you cannot use it safely in your garden unless you want to harm your garden and brag about your urine or something.  But hey, some people are so entranced with their own urine that they drink it, so whatever.  You're never going...

The world will not stop when the one in ten thousand leaf from your tree falls

I saw a video on how doing that, in a basement, the ice could last mostly through summer too.

Never seen it at both our Safeways and I used to work there.
