Mice moving in.

They may look cute and cuddly, but these little animals can cause damage, and can carry disease. The weather is starting to change, and the temperature is turning colder. Mice are looking for a warm place to hang out for the winter. This could include your shed, garage or home. Mice can squeeze through an opening 1/4 inch in size. They can contaminate food by nibbling on it or covering it with feces, urine, and fur. Under stable conditions a mice will forage 10 to 33 feet from their nesting area. A successful rodent control program should include a combination of baiting and trapping. This should also include exclusion techniques, general clean up and removal of their hiding places (harborage areas).

TARANTULA

Wednesday the 10th,

I was driving down the highway heading to Eureka. For those of you who don't know where Eureka is, it is out in the middle of no man's land. West of Santaquin, Utah. While driving down this road I rounded a bend and thought that I saw a black rock in the road. I swerved to miss it and realized it was a wild Tarantula. Well of course I pulled of the road to try and catch it. This is a problem, everything that I have in my vehicle is made to kill bugs, not catch them to keep them. I decided to dump out my mouse bait stations and use the box for this large spider. He is really cool to look at. The next day I took the spider to my sons school so he could show it off to his class. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet.
