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 ><
just wonder do we have the same rule here. if there is more than certain% of owners agreed to do it, the rest of the owners are forced to chip in too. maybe you can ask the city or someone who knows the rule more.
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...
"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"
Using your neighbor's argument against her - because the pipes/ducts are connected, her rats are crossing into your area since you've already use poison to kill all the rats in your house.
If you are willing to spend big money, then get a contractor to redo all the pipes and ducts inside your house so it's no longer connected to the other houses.
At the mean time, try to eliminate the food source in your house. Besides keeping clean, you can buy some plastic boxes with tight lids to store your rice, flour, noodles, dry food, etc, anything that a rat can chew through.
Get a cat la.., or just borrow one from you friend and keep them around for a few days, the cat's smell will drive away the rats...
BTW, PSP/托屁 will serve the same purpose.., he will keep telling the rats:
Why don't you go home and don't come to Canada.
You are spending your parent's money to stay in Canada.
You rats are slaves in Canada and stealing money from Canada....
try to find out where the rat comes from EG: from the door, the drain hole , ETC you will find traces of their dungs.
check too see any hole on the wall, like under the heat, behind the frige , behind the couch ETC.
you might as well clean up your storage room.
keep all your food covered, and
