Got Rats?

Cause we do. Lots and lots of rats. The rats are in our attic, in our walls, in a storage closet. They've torn up the insulation, they've peed and pooped and have scared the hell out of me.

Last night I heard something in the storage closet under our stairs. I opened the closet and there was a nasty, greezy rat. I almost dropped the baby. I called Paul and he called Ivan who is the guy who will come on Sundays and looks at your rats for you. He tells you that you do in fact have rats and shows you how incredibly bad it is.

It may cost $4000 to redo all the insulation and make the rats go away and plug all the holes so they can't come back in.

Are you freakin' kidding me? Rats? Jesus Christ. I know you can have a rent party. Can you have a Rat Party?

Yes, you absolutely can have a rat party.

Why not? And sell Strawberry Torts - that's not got much rat in it.

We are so gonna throw a rat party!!! We'll even do it off site;) I'll start thinking of places and ideas if you want.

I think having it off site is an excellent idea.

i think if there _is_ a rat party, we should each take a rat away, so it'll be opposite of a rent party.

You know - a couple of ferrets would clear up that rat problem right quick.

Seriously - and it wouldn't cost any $4K to do it.

I brought this suggestion to her, but she's skeptical of the ferrets' ability to remove 1400 square feet of urine-soaked insulation in a timely fashion.

Well, if you hire Union ferrets...
