The Rat Who Hates Me

So we have a family of rats living under our portch and they taunt us all the time.  They come out in the middle of the day while I'm working and stare at me through the window.  They are not afraid of us at all!  

We put out some bait when we first moved in May, but they never even touched it.  
Haley took Lesley to a specialty store and got some powerful poison that comes in green bars.  
We (meaning Lesley) have been putting out tons of rat poison and the rats are taking it (yay!!!).  Well for the last few weeks, the rats have not been taking the poison so we foolishly thought they were gone, but when we got home from Vegas, the bars were gone so we put more out.  Haley quickly reminded us of when we had gerbils as kids, they had 12 babies like every 2 weeks.  
Well the bars were gone on Monday and then yesterday we put bars out before WW, when we got home it was gone so we put more out, then after our errands they were gone again, so we did more.  I think it came out to a total of 3 or 4 bars in a 24 hour period.  Let's all hope they shared it and they will all checkout of Hotel Under Our Portch!

Are you guys going to flip a coin to see who gets to put the dead rats in the trash can? Ah, yuck!

EEEEEWWWWW!!!! That is so sick. Yesterday I was walking in the delaware ghetto and there were dead rats rotting on the ground. I think you should elect Steve to do your yard work for a while.

At least they're not IN your house, that would be gross. Way to go Lesley for even going near them!
Can't wait for the Vegas pictures!
