Exotic parrots worth some big money and I am allergic anyway. I am going to look for some Just One Bite as I think I can drive the 90 miles round trip to the mercantile to get some of it.

I am told by the locals that packrats are territorial and they don't come in "in droves" by any means. It is matter of stopping up the holes and I have some help coming this weekend to help me address anything I didn't already think of and/or get to.

Now, the mice...when you have one you have DOZENS and they are hard to get rid of. The dog has been barking at something that is getting around and whether that is mice or the packrat, I don't know and it is probably both. I have mouse traps down and have not caught a one of them. I have sticky traps and slap traps, nothing yet.

Given that I live in the west and that we have that Legionaires sp? virus in deer mouse droppings and everything else, I worry about disease...I worry about the health of myself and my visitors (the kind I have asked to come in! LOL). I'll be getting on this TODAY. thanks for the help.
