RATS! (Or is it mice...)

[tom winslow]

Have not been out in the GMC since the DixieLander Rally at Bean Station.
Tonight we found ourselves without water in the house so we decided to
retire to the GMC for the evening.

I noticed that the toilet paper has been chewed in the bathroom cabinet.
Chewed by what - I do not know. So had the soap!

We are putting out some traditional traps and some 'glue traps' to catch the
varmints. Any good suggestions as to the best locations to get the critters?
Should I use poison?

Would these critters most likely be permanent residents or would they be
just visiting from the neighbors lot?

Suggestions?

Sure wouldn't use poison: The little suckers will eat then retire to some
completely inaccessable place in the walls from which all that can escape
will be the odor from their rotting corpses.
Perhaps some live traps would work. If it IS mice, be VERY CAREFUL handling
them: There is a huge HANTA VIRUS risk at this time. In case you haven't
heard, Hanta is spread via rodent feces and KILLS PEOPLE!
