House pests.
« on: August 29, 2013, 03:56:47 PM »
I feel so awful about calling them so. Because I really don't view them as pests, however have you ever had a mammal or bug problem in your house? We have a mouse. I saw him yesterday and he is adorable, although I didnt get a good look at him because wow, he was like a blur moving across the floor.

We aren't trying to get rid of him though. dunno why just figured he would find his own way out the same way he came in

We get mice in the shed they don't last long in the house as we have four cats.  When I was a kid and lived in Florida we had a lizard that lived in the house next to the chair I sat in to watch tv.  I used to watch him eat what must have been some sort of mites, they were tiny, that lived on a plant on the table.

Our garage is an old, former stables. It was infested with mice a year or so ago.
It was so bad, that I couldnt even park my car in the garage. You would open the door, and you would see them scatter :zombiefuck: :zombiefuck:
My best friend lives in the flat above the garage, and although she never saw one in her flat, she was so freaked out, that she had to move into the house.

There was far too many mice to catch with traps, so the gardener put out trays of poison for them. I looked in one evening, and there was dozens of mice trying to get at the trays of poison. I almost puked :zombiefuck: :zombiefuck:

He had to come back every day to pick up the bodies of the dead ones :zombiefuck: :zombiefuck: :zombiefuck:

Im still traumatized by the experience :laugh:

The only rodent I have been afraid of was a possum. DAMN, are they Ugly.  :P

I saw one crawling out of a trashcan once. It had a few long hairs on its back and was a wrinkled pink,  :zombiefuck:

Outside we get skunks, raccoons and possums knocking over our garbage cans. We also have a woodchuck in the yard which I am trying to get to leave by filling his burrows with gravel with some pepper thrown in for good measure.  The mice in the shed don't bother me much as long as they stay out of my flea market bins

We get a mouse in the shed every now and then.

Mice can do some major damage though, especially if you get one that takes up residence in your car. I spent a lot of time re-wiring a 69 VW after storing it in my uncle's barn for a year.

We have a moles a plenty, a groundhog that hangs around the back porch, raccoons, possums, rabbits everywhere, feral cats, deer that trim back my bushes every winter, a flock of turkeys this spring, hawks, and every now and then the occasional coyote. The moles are annoying, but not pests, the rest just kind of chill in the yard and you spot them every so often. I could seriously live without the snakes though... a small copperhead every now and then doesn't phase me too much, the 6 ft+ long black snakes... :zombiefuck:

I used to have a cat that ate them. Now I just set traps. When I catch one, I toss him/her in the pond so the fish get food. That way the death wasn't a waste.

I've been finding bugs and spiders.  Actually, first I found the spider.  Then I Found the bug.  But the spider was so much littler than the bug, so it hardly matters. 

I need more spiders, fewer bugs.   :GA:

Will gladly send you more spiders.  :zombiefuck:

I really, really dislike spiders. Especially the large wolf variety around here. Creepy fuckers.
