When ADT was here installing our security system, they made a gruesome discovery in our crawl space. We have visitors, big and unwelcome visitors.
We had pest control out that same day to clean out the space and set up traps. Here’s what Greg woke up to the next morning. Seriously, they’re HUGE!
By the time the pest control guy came back out, a pregnant rat had been trapped as well. Bubbie didn’t want Joey or Pacman getting eaten by a rat, so he’s spending a few nights in HP until the situation is resolved.
I couldn’t take another minute and we couldn’t find a plumber that would come out to plug up the holes (they all said they didn’t “do” rats), so it was all up to Greg!
He headed to Home Depot to stock up…
I set up this blockade just in case any rats wanted to make an appearance while the crawl space was open…
Check out my mask, just for effect
While I was helping “prep,” I managed to cut my finger on steel wool
That was the end of my helpfulness, as the ammonia was about to make an appearance and my pregnant self needed to vacate.
And in he goes….
Mission accomplished (we hope)! Greg will check the space tonight when he gets home from work. Either way, I’m so proud and can’t believe my husband went into a claustrophobic, rat infested crawl space and poured cement all on his own!
Keep your fingers crossed!!!
