So the neighbors have a trash heap in their yard, basically all the trash they can’t burn, like an old toilet and a wire rack. This is cool, because it makes for a terrific breeding ground for rats, and we all love rats. Love them.
A couple of days ago Hernan killed one in the morning, and then three more that afternoon. Huge suckers. And my mother-in-law set out some poison, and, judging by the lingering smell, took down a few more.
I think this has been a fun experience for my visiting mother. She asked whether there wasn’t a local agency we could report our neighbors to. Ha!
The grossest part is that then the neighbors had a birthday party in their backyard, but the poisoned rats are still buried somewhere in the trash heap, stinking up the place. Foul.
On a side note, I wasn’t able to kill the cockroach I found in the kitchen this morning. It scurried away. I’m a wus.
Yucky.
Thats so funny about your mom, I could see my mom or anyone visiting from the states saying that. Actually I could see me saying that a year ago, and now I laugh.
