My building has a little mouse problem and by little I mean BIG. It isn’t any worse for me than some other places I’ve lived but my unit is pretty isolated from the rest of the building. In the entire time I’ve been here, I’ve seen two mice and nothing in the kitchen has ever been touched. I also haven’t seen any mouse poo. Others in the building are not so fortunate and so a pest control expert was brought it. Poison was put out and the mice problem started to go away. Then it got warm one day.
I guess you could say the building was/is infested. The poison did it’s work and the mice started to die off. The problem is that all those dead mice are in the walls of the building. I noticed the smell at the entrance to the building but others noticed it in their units. The poison was removed and an alternate is being investigated to deal with the problem. Problem still exists. Why you may ask? The mice eat the dead mice that are contaminated and they die and so on. There are that many mice. This hasn’t really been a problem for me until it got warm. Now the smell is coming from the entrance way up into my unit. Luckily not all of it but it’s worst in the area I use the most.
My friend Jamie refers to the walls as being “packed with meat” which reminded me of another story a friend told about “meat bombs”. “Meat bombs” might make another post.
I hate the smell.
The problem is not so much the mice, but that we provide such wonderful places for them to live and multiply. I would be concerned with the health hazard they create. I’m surprised the pest control service allowed the mice to die in the walls. Usually the poison creates a voracious thirst in the little critters and when they run off to get a drink, bingo, and agonizing but fairly quick death. You might want to Google this problem.
PS The only mice I don’t like are Microsoft mice.
Wow, being grossed out that much is not the best way to lose weight, but I’m sure it will work.
See, there’s a bright side.
Perhaps you should take up the flute?
“Perhaps you should take up the flute?” Only if he wants to create hordes of zombie mice.
And what’s wrong with zombie mice? Some of my best friends are zombies!
