Oh, rats!

Seriously. We're talking 4 rats or maybe 5 if you count the one that got away! One dark gray one was slaughtered by our heroic lamb names Annie. 2 white ones were whipped into heaven by traps. 1 fell from the attic to the floor somewhere in a wall and has made occupation of the back half of the house impossible. And the one that got away screamed for 5 minutes at around 3:30am, then dragged the trap to the hole they had made in our wall before freeing itself and scurrying away.

At least we found the hole. And plugged it.

If it isn't rats, it's mice. That's what we dealt with last month. 3 mice.

If it isn't mice it's cockroaches or crickets or fire ants. It's amazing how cool and calm I've become concerning pests. Pests that would have freaked me out 2 years ago are now just minor inconveniences.

Noelle, I am soooo proud of you! Hang in there! Also, they have sticky traps that are GREAT for mice. They can't get away!
