    mouse chews

    Yes, both carry disease. Also both dribble urine everywhere as they have no "on & off" switches-only on "on". 1 female rat can birth 15,000 babies every year. 1 female mouse can birth 40 babies every year. That's not counting how many the babies, the babies are having, the damage to your...

    Finally can post up date.

    Well hello again! Its been quite some time since my last visit. Ok, if you recall I was cleaning up a hoarders house, my mom's in hopes she could come home to it soon. I was knocked over by a ****alanche (mountain of junk washing over me just like an avalanche). After two hours of one named...

    Fisherman Soap Recipe?

    Put coffee grounds in the soap just before pouring into molds or loafs. They may be fresh or already ran through for coffee or a mix of both. As my sleepy brain recalls you want 6-10 oz grounds per 2 pounds of soap. They also rid hands of onions and other hard to get rid of scents and smells...

    Please - tell me why - I'm so grossed out !

    If you want to try natural remedies for getting rid of critters-1st of course you must seal up anything the size of a dime or bigger from the top to the bottom of the building/s. 2. Cut all growth down 4" inches and closer. 3. At 2" inches out plant spearmint, peppermint and other mints-in a...

    Please - tell me why - I'm so grossed out !

    Once a rodent colony reaches a certain number (3000ish for rats) cats and other predators will not attack any of them. Same for mice-i don't know the # for them though. The sites and books I read didn't give a reason why but all did state this. Now I'm curious about why. Maybe if attacked and...

    This is serious, not a joking matter to minat all. I finally made my 1st batch of soap-i did a whipped oil's floating type. I did several small differently scented & colored batches. Some colors went from beautiful to poop colored quickly. Some colors stayed and baby powder went to dirty...

    3 questions.... And thank you

    I have skimmed over some 22 pages of post and I did use the search bar-though I'm sure the "Elders" here will tell me I should've looked harder..... Let's see #1 what is your opinion of this pitcher for lye ? It is polyperlene #5-as it should be. The lid has clamps ! And a dispensing area cut...

    A silly idea, no?

    So did you put out pee around the peach trees ? If it worked umm what kind ? Did you find the soap recipe you were looking for ? Did it work ? I'm curious about the pee...Supposedly you can get rid of rodents by using big cat pee or snake pooh...and mom's house needs something before they chew...
