| [04-23 19:58] | [Chat] | Roku: oh, they come in down there? plenty of rodents here to keep them away from houses unless a pet tracks them in. Both my cats clean like crazy and one is immune |
| [04-23 19:58] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: yeah got rats here |
| [04-23 19:58] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: been fighting them al lwinter |
| [04-23 19:58] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: betwen traps and poison still havnt gottne them all |
| [04-23 19:58] | [Chat] | Roku: nearly impossible without paying a service |
| [04-23 19:59] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: had a cat had a littler of kittens that now hang around so maybe the rat issues will decline |
| [04-23 19:59] | [Chat] | Roku: I have relatives in Florida. They pay for that just like for water |
| [04-23 20:00] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: i just leave the neighbnorhood cats along and every so often throw out a cup or 2 of food to keep them around so they kill stuff |
| [04-23 20:00] | [Chat] | Roku: people will skip paying for insurance before they will skip their pesticide service |
| [04-23 20:01] | [Chat] | Roku: here, it's an extreme luxury to pay for insect and pest treatments. mostly all you need is to lot leave food out and keep a pellet gun for chipmunks |
| [04-23 20:01] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: can dlea with rats for $1 |
| [04-23 20:01] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: granted insect still hve isues iwth have bad pellmento bug issues due to way they built the ack door |
| [04-23 20:02] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: so far not winning that war |
| [04-23 20:04] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: if you want a cheap soluton for rats bakingsoda + cornbread mix |
| [04-23 20:04] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: or aking soda + sugar/flour or something |
| [04-23 20:04] | [Chat] | Roku: if I lived there, i'd pay for a painted stainless steel frame and door. Not pretty, but effective for decades. |
| [04-23 20:04] | [Chat] | Roku: here we just replace the plastic sweeps lol |
| [04-23 20:05] | [Chat] | Roku: But we also have another cost - massive amounts of insulation that can cause myriad of mold and other moisture issues. |
| [04-23 20:06] | [Chat] | Roku: so you are best off with anything treated with borax from the start, or if you are cheap, spray the powder onto the insulation before you seal it up with drywall or plastic |
| [04-23 20:09] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: issue is mor ethe door is backwards |
