Keith,

EXCELLENT and well-informed post! Based on real world experience, everything you said adds hope that the problem can be solved, and that professional help is available for free through the health dept!

Josie,

sorry for my nonsense.. but I'm incorrigible. There was no way I could walk away from that setup without blowing it out of proportion like that. I hope there is forgiveness to be found.

I also hope you get rid of the rats pretty soon!
