滅鼠

chocobun

i live in a very small "town house" complex with only 4 houses, and we dont have a management company or anything to look after the complex. my neighbors are pretty 自掃門前雪 and one of them is extremely selfish and when problem arises and need to gather money to get things fixed for the benefit of all four families she'd refuse to chip in, saying things are not necessary to be done.

anywayz...

we have a rat problem... we tried calling 滅鼠公司 and they placed 老鼠藥in our house and the rats are gone for about 2 months or so... now they are back and very 橫行無忌.  problem is our pipes are connected with the other houses... so if we dont 滅鼠as a whole complex, just doing it on our house would be no use... and that selfish b*tch refuses to do it together, saying that the rats are used to the 老鼠藥so it's pointless...... n some other bs.

is there any way to keep the rats away from our house at all???? this is driving me nuts... im also worried that they'll harm (e.g. bite) my two rabbits at home (altho they are caged, but it's not hard to get in??)... plus i dont really need extra lives in my already small house.....

any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated... thanks ><

we bought the house around 2 years ago and apparently they (my neighbours and previous owner) signed an agreement before that we didnt know about... the agreement stated there are only certain things that we need to share the cost, e.g. garage cleaning, etc... something that's "common area". things inside your house or that belongs to your house e.g. trees in front of your house... is not other people's responsibility.

but my neighbour (that b*tch) is not a reasonable person so regardless of whatever rule there is they wont do anything about it (yet she used to threaten us with "the law"... saying that because our ventilation is connected we cannot use scented cleaning products because their whole household has allergy to scent and what we were doing was "contamination of air that harms others" <-- absolutely rediculous)...  i just need to have an idea of how to reduce the rat problem in my house for now...

i doubt anyone will lend me their cat lah.. it's like lending our your kid, no way

and i feel bad if i buy a cat just for the purpose of killing mouse.. it's like finding a bf/ gf just to have another person with you not out of love...

thank you all for the useful information! you guys are awesome ^^
rainbow-davie, i'll definitely give that sonic pest chaser a shot!

having pets is too much of a heart break... so having a cat isn't an option (as much as i love cats... but pets almost always die before their owners and it's such a heart ache), esp when my bf is highly allergic to animal fur (he cant be in my house now cuz i have 2 bunnies at home)

as for the agreement thing, it's a reaaaaaally long story, wont even go into that. hopefully we can move out of this place soon.

he's so severe that those purifier things wont work, and the fur will give him asthma. he has to wear those huge "pig mouth" protection mask when he comes into my house to filter out the fur.

i stil haven't seen a rat yet but my mom saw them before even my bf did (considering how rare he comes to my house)... i guess i'm lucky.  but i'm very scared... every time i go to the kitchen at night i need to turn on all the lights and wait for a few seconds so if there are rats they can hide before i walk in cuz i dun wanna see them... and sometimes if i hear some sound i'd think it's rats..><

didnt buy it yet... cuz i'm worried that the sonic sound will bother my rabbits
