12:00 pm

Scrabbler

Here for more. I brought my car for an oil change a mouse nest was found in the engine compartment. No surprise.

12:01 pm

penquis

heh...i once had a dead mouse in my ventilation system in a new car....hi scrabs....

12:01 pm

Scrabbler

It happens. I live in the country, if that makes a difference.

12:02 pm

bichon

I once had a drowned, bloated mouse in my downstair's toilet. Keep the lid down now

12:03 pm

penquis

i had a field mouse in my toilet as well....

12:04 pm

penquis

these things happened when i lived up north on a river bank...

12:04 pm

Scrabbler

Rodents are everywhere.

12:05 pm

bichon

Whren we lived in NYC we had roaches. Here we have rodents

12:05 pm

Scrabbler

I have never had roaches, just mice, chipmunks, red squirrels, and bats. Just them.

12:05 pm

penquis

rather have rodents, i think....bugs creep me out...

12:06 pm

penquis

i had a bat colony in my attic....very creepy, too.....

12:06 pm

Scrabbler

Spiders?

12:06 pm

bichon

especially roaches

12:06 pm

penquis

my landlord put up a high frequency sound machine and almost all of them left....i figured the few that remained must have been deaf... ;o)

12:06 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, penquis, that was discovered after a bat flew across my cathedral ceiling living room.

12:07 pm

penquis

there were literally over a hundred bats up there....it was a very large attic....i refused to go up there....

12:07 pm

penquis

i discovered them when i started to hear strange sounds...

12:08 pm

Scrabbler

I didn't look but the guy used the word "colony."

12:08 pm

penquis

never had one in my living quarters, thank goodness...

12:10 pm

Scrabbler

I figured it was a bird flying in front of me but I realized the wings were different.

12:11 pm

penquis

i have had a bat fly by my head in the evening when I was out in a boat with my brother...that kinda creeped me out, too...

12:11 pm

Scrabbler

And it was hanging upside down from a skylight.

12:12 pm

penquis

hah...the upside down thing was a give away.... ;o)

12:12 pm

bichon

What kind of a bat was it?

12:12 pm

Scrabbler

I am sharp like that.

12:12 pm

Scrabbler

Hm, I think it was a Little Brown Bat?

12:13 pm

bichon

When we were in Costa Rica we ment to a bat museum

12:14 pm

Scrabbler

They are adorable creatures.

12:14 pm

penquis

i went to an insect museum in Montreal once....swore i would never go to Central America after that....

12:15 pm

Scrabbler

I don't like the reptile/amphibian house at our zoo.

12:17 pm

MollyL

Drops...it helps if you put them in at the inner corner of the lid

12:18 pm

penquis

yes, have tried that, too...my eyes just close up and very little goes in....i will try aeb's suggestion next time i need to put drops in....

12:19 pm
