Oh, gawd, that reminds me of the day I was helping my GM sort through a bunch of old tournament t-shirts in the basement, noticed rat turds around a few of the boxes, then opened the boxes to find they'd pissed all over most of the shirts. If you could only know how hard it was for me not to freak-the-fuck-out as I tried to relay to him I absolutely could not deal with handling rat-piss covered shirts.

I was so traumatized. I was literally shaking :laugh: I used a broomstick and the swiffer handle like chopsticks to double bag it with heavy duty trash bags. For the next few days, every time I went to the dumpster, I listened for dying rodents.

I didn’t know if they were mice or rats so I tried googling their poo and that’s when I found out that just sweeping up their droppings could give me hantavirus. So I thought I’d have that and die by week’s end. Might be in the clear now, but I’m completely freaked out by it and really just need to move. I bought some minty deterrent shit because if I get traps, I’ll have to see them again. And I don’t want poison around because of my dog. Fucking nightmare :bawling:

Hantavirus? Until last week I had never heard of this. There was a local news story about them going in and raiding this filthy house that was beyond disgusting and they mentioned it then.

Quit inventing diseases and sech!!!!!
 
Fortunately, only a specific group of wild mice are vectors for hantavirus. These are not varieties that have adopted to living in cities. Most cases of hantavirus occur in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.

Imagine if rats were common hosts of hantavirus. NYC would be zombie town.
 
Trump appointees now pointing fingers with manufactured outrage over the Potomac collision of a military helicopter with a commercial aircraft. Military helicopters have been patrolling the Potomac since 9/11. The potential for collision with commercial aircraft on final approach has been known. Patrols have continued, clearly indicating that threat assessments accounted for the risk. This incident screams helo pilot error.
 
Odds on successful Crew Dragon mission?

There were already restrictions in place to avoid collisions. They of course are reliant on lady helicopter pilots actually following them and not deciding to fly in front of planes.

I keep 4 heavy duty, baited (peanut butter) rat traps in my garage. Nothing yet.

You could have just liked my post, but nooo! You had to toss in the gender of the pilot. Are you declaring your chauvinism, or baiting the female contributors to this thread?

Uh, not to further freak you out, but did you throw the broomstick and swiffer handle away? I sure as shit would have.

They’re doing construction around my neighborhood, which has dramatically increased the rat traffic in our area. Last Friday, my dog brought a dead rat in the house. Later that day, we saw a clearly poisoned but not yet dead rat on the driveway. It left, but I’m sure it died somewhere. On Sunday, I found a dead rat and a dead bunny in the backyard. On Monday, another dead rat in the garage.

Good news is the neighborhood poisoning efforts are working. Bad news is I had to dispose of four dead critters in four days.

Those poisonings can also kill dogs and cats. I see where you found a rabbit that was collateral damage.
