During a rainstorm last week a lady heard a big thud and looked out the window. A big rat landed on the metal opening to her cellar. She called us because she thought it was making a nest on her roof. I try to tell her to call an exterminator but she says it must have jumped over from a nearby tree. So we go over to clean the gutters and check out the situation.
There were animal holes. That rat wasn’t so cute anymore when we told her it was in her house.
No way. Give me sharknado. I’d rather deal with that. As far as I know, NO shark has ever carried rabies and other assorted diseases. I’ve never worried about shark poop on my dishes and if I saw a rodent in my house, THAT’s what I’d be thinking.
Nothing is cute when it’s in your house. My wife was walking to the kitchen one night and thought our son left a rope on the floor until it slithered under the fridge. Apparently having a hole in your screen door is NOT a good idea when there’s a snake slithering by. I had to move the fridge, then move the stove and eventually caught him and released him back outside.
Then another time I was coming back from a trip and my wife called in a panic because we had a bird in the wall. Apparently they had built a nest in the attic space and a baby bird fell down into our wall and the parent birds were freaking out. So yeah, I had to cut a hole in our wall get the the little sucker out.
Oh, and if a wild animal walks up to you and looks at you, you’d better back way the heck up and shut the door: it probably has something bad wrong with it like rabies.
Yeah if you have an opossum on your front porch during the day you might want to waste em ASAP…
