Squirrels in my attic

[Hassin Bin Sober]

10. We had rats in out 6 flat condo building in the basements of our first floor units.

We called Orkin and they wanted a 12 month agreement (I wasn't there) so we signed up. It was, IIRC, 200 bucks a month???

A couple months go by and still we have rats. The poor woman on the first floor was beside herself because she slept in the basement. She could hear the little (big?) f-ckers crawling in her walls.

So she calls me and I call Orkin. I have the manger come out. We pull the poison lock-boxes and open them to find none of the block were chewed on AT ALL. I ask why they use blocks and not pellets. He tells me they "like" the blocks - it looked like the same stuff - bluish green.

Anyway, he tells me to sit tight and give it a couple weeks to see what happens. 2 more weeks go by and poor woman on the first floor is ready to move to a hotel. I say fuck this and go buy a couple big boxes of pellets. Rats are gone in a week's time.

I did warn the nice lady there might be a smell for a few days but it's better than rats. Never heard or smelled from the f-ckers again.

Called Orkin and told them to sue us. Never heard from them again either.

We do have dogs in the building but we were careful to place the poison where they couldn't possibly get to it (under hot tub enclosures behind walls etc). I noted where everything was and policed up the boxes when my mission was complete.
