In response to question: pest control? the rats are back



John Crist runs this pest control operation. He's nice, bright, and knows his stuff.


My sense is that John is as good as it can get, but unfortunately, fighting rats is just inherently a very difficult job...


At least where we live, if there's any small hole anywhere at all that gives access to the attic or crawlspace, you're done for: the rats will find it quickly, and then it's a several-week process of using bait to poison and lure the rats out of the house (or jump into the house if your daughter leaves the door open: http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff345/mobspin/rat.jpg)


The bait needs to be checked every couple days-- if the bait runs out, John comes by and puts more.


Finally, when the some bait is left over for a few days, the rats are temporarily "gone," so it's time to seal up the hole.. and then wait for the next hole to show up. :(


I have a feeling we'll be dealing with rats for years to come.
