First trap, first night set: productive. Rat is so small I thought it was a mouse till I saw the ears.
Later I saw tiny turds behind the washing machine, leading me to think that the port of entry is the hole in the wall that the dryer vent tube goes through. We need to do something to alter the way the dryer vent works anyway because my beautiful new garage occupies the place where the vent used to go. But definitely need a collar around the dryer vent tube.
I feel like there are tiny creatures pricking my skin with extremely sharp little javelins, especially in the face and neck, and upper back and upper arms. This is the presence of rats.
On another front, I got to watch you tube for an hour and a half this morning and call it research. It turns out they make tapans to fit the size of the drummer, even if the drummer is two years old.
Along the way I saw some horrid clips of clearly abused children (you can tell from the bruises, the scars and the facial expression) singing for the camera. The videos are very old, the children are far away and I do not even know what language they are singing in, or where they are: there is nothing I can do about it.
drummer boy,
tapan,
you tube,
rats
