So after my little visitor ruined some already, I want to know where should I store my kitchen towels. I had mine in a bottom cupboard like my cleaning supplies.

ETA: It's officially a rat.

For a brief time, at one point I lived a bit out in the country. Not too far away from town, but far enough. We had a few field mice occasionally sneak in at certain times of the year, but never found where, or how.

We'd find bread with holes in the bag. Flour bags tore into, ect. So we started to put bread, snacks, anything the mice would get into into clear square plastic containers. The types with easy to remove lids. It was inconvenient, but it kept them out of the food.

As for how we got rid of them, I'd probably just recommend an exterminator. We tried things, but as long as they have that way in, they will come back. An exterminator could possibly find the hole, and patch it up.

Having a cat helped some. We tried a sticky glue trap, which worked, but we stopped using as it felt cruel. The mice would get stuck, but rip their own hair off while trying to get off the trap. Then we never knew what to do with them once trapped. We also tried the green poison cubes you can get at Walmart, didn't notice a difference.

Either way, good luck. I never had rat troubles, I imagine that's a harder problem to tackle than mice.

trapping rodents is simple... like i did with squeekness when she went on her rampage back in 09.... peanut butter.

I'm afraid to put my towels in my cabinets now.

Above, when I mentioned square plastic containers, I meant these.

They have latching lids. Depending on your space situation, they store easy, and are easy to open. It's inconvenient, but if the rat is using your towels as a bathroom it may be worth it.

Yeah I didn't see your post. I might have to buy some small ones. It used my dirty ones as a nest.

That's dogs. Squeeks people like cheese, old pizza, and cardboard covered in drippings of unknown liquids.

"unknown liquids"

I never get any credit i swear

Lol, it's OK. I only posted it a few minutes before my second post. You didn't miss it. I just wanted to TAC on a second post with an image of what I meant.

Though even if you did miss it, that's OK, *sniff*. I get it. Always too busy.

They're a lot harder to get rid of. They apparently know when something is different and will avoid it at all cost.

Riverdale is the best worst show you are not watching. It's perfection in its awfulness. Their version of juvenile hall. It looks located in the middle of their football field, and they treat it like a 1950s prison.

I did not say that Trump belonged among them....I merely posted it as I thought it was a funny riff on the actual painting that he has hanging in the White House (I will post that at the bottom of this post).....Mandon Knight said that I had left Margaret Thatcher out of the painting, which suggests that she is as evil as the rest of them, and I was expressing that although I know she is disliked and even hated by many in England....whatever she did does not come close to the evil that they did. Now back to Trump....if you keep up with the news....you will understand that he adores despots and dictators and mass murderers. So....while he has not earned his place among those in the painting....he yearns to be listed among them as a peer.

Here is the actual painting that Trump has hanging in the White House -

I didn't say YOU left her out of the painting C Lee, I am saying, in my view, with the damage she has caused and the pain inflicted, she would be in good company amongst those on that picture. The second highlighted point you place with Trump, could be also associated with Thatcher.

I think we have bigger things to worry about...

Kleenex bins 'Mansize' tissues

Where is Trump’s gut in that photo?

if you are looking for perfection in awfulness... like... true awfulness....

Plastic is no obstacle for a rat. They can supposedly chew through steel. But I think they have to be really hungry or desperate to go through steel so the plastic container might work. It wont cost much to at least try it.

The idea behind it, I assume, was men typically have larger noses and more snot and need more tissue. Men do typically have larger noses and men are typically generally larger than women. Those are just two realities of our species...a lot of species. Idk whether that means men produce more mucus nor do I really care. It was a harmless bit of labeling. Besides, if "mansize" kleenex is sexist then I guess in this new reality labeling clothing for men or women or boys or girls is also sexist. After all, little janet can where boys' jeans just like little Johnny. Or vice versa.

It's the most far removed adaption from comics I love to read, even more far removed than crap like Batman V Superman, so I'm happily ignoring it.

My husband used to bait mouse traps with chocolate chip cookies and it worked every time. I can vouch for this because when my pet mouse got sick I would put her meds on moistened cookie bits and she never turned it down.

Try peanut butter. That's how they got the rats in the movies WILLARD and Ben to do their tricks.

Careful everyone, never let a squeeky thing jump on your face.
Especially squeeks.

Say that out loud, with a group of people.

The one time I had to match wits with a mouse I resorted to putting a shmear of peanut butter on a bottle cap and sticking the bottle cap on a glue trap. Cruel, but I had used all the other more humane options at that point.
