Critters

Oct 2, 2004

My apartment is right by a farm. I get tons and tons of spiders, little flies, millipedes, etc. etc. But the other night I hear this scratching above me, Through my mad triangulation skillz I find out that it's right above my fan... and it sounds just like a rodent trying to scratch through my ceiling. Then yesterday I hear a mouse in the wall between my bathroom and the hall. When I was leaving for class this morning, there was a snake in the hall outside of my apartment. Jessica said she knew someone in this building. who put a mousetrap in her vents and caught 12 mice. And now I get to listen to the one in the wall die. It's gonna stink.

Lame man, really lame.

That totally sucks man. You should move the snake from the hall into your vents/wall to eat the mice. Problem solved!

You have such adventures ToT

My home where I grew up was next to a secondary tropical jungle...I grew up having incidents where the following came into the garden:

black cobra at least 3 ft long
other snakes i don't know the name of
owls flying to my room
bats flying into the house many times and smashing their head on a window
bird i don't know names of flying into windows

One time we found a rat's nest below the oven we had not used in a while...we performed genocide by spraying insecticide into the oven to fume them out. The rat babies died, but the mother rat ran out and we had to run all over the house chasing it down. My mom finally cornered it beneath the stairs and she chopped off the head with a machete O_o;

Then there were those lizards...i remmeber one that was in the shoe closet and my mom killed it with the nearest thing lying around which was a chopstick X_X

I had such a bloody childhood ;o;

And you're paying HOW MUCH to live there?

Well, for a single I think it's pretty expensive, but I think it's really just the first floor of the building he's in. I live on the second floor of a different building (same apartment complex) away from the cornfield, and we don't have any strange noises (aside from our neighbors above..)

:o That's crazy. I guess I'll just live with my harmless critters. :)

What, just because I'm spending money means critters can't sneak in? "Mom and Dad spent HOW MUCH on that house???"
