Maybe that would help. Now that our movers have come and gone I've got plenty of free time until next Monday.

I know that's not a reason to adopt a pet!) <br />I have heard of using tinfoil or sos pads to deter rats too. Fingers crossed that works. <br />I was curious about scents as repellents, because I've heard that it's just the smell of a cat or dog that keeps rodents away, and found this: "There are odors that rats avoid. They will not keep rats away forever, but you can use these odors to deter the rats while you seal up points of entrance. Fox and bobcat urine are common deterrents. You can also use litter from your cat box. A more pleasant smell to use to annoy any incoming rat is the smell of peppermint, spearmint and citronella. You can buy repellent that uses these odors or you can use the essential oils of these plants, or you can even plant peppermint, spearmint and citronella around your home, outer buildings and garden." Another website suggested ammonia.

I hope the tinfoil works. <br /><br />My escape is to look at pics of my condo, especially of the nearby lake that we can walk around without getting shot. It's a small place but it's ours. I like to think about what we'll do to it over home leave and things.<br /><br />Before we owned a place, I used to look at house listings. I love moving and exploring but when things get tough, a picket fence sounds pretty good.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451181089905438936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-44539673705045692152011-03-17T23:31:59.842+04:002011-03-17T23:31:59.842+04:00My mental vacation a few weeks ago was in another ...My mental vacation a few weeks ago was in another world with vampires and werewolves and a young, pale girl in between...yes I like the Twilight series.
