re: Mice infestation

Quoting FroggysMommy:" I hate hate hate that we had to do this... but we had to use glue traps to catch a mouse in our house. ... [snip!] ... you want to do that, it's not the best but it is a way to put the glue trap in a zip lock bag and then kill the mouse that way."

The mouse that got on the trap this morning we did that to. Put it in the bag. It sucked but I'd rather it be dead

Well thats stupid, especially in this situation. They should be taking care of the military familys, not screwing them over. Coming and laying down sticky pads is not handling the situation, its a joke. OP is there someone higher up you can talk to and explain that the sticky pads are not working at all, and if that is all you can do, maybe you can move into another house or something. That completely sucks you guys are being treated that way.

I agree. They dont treat soldiers good at all. The public just doesnt see it. When hubs got out, we owed $560 in lost gear. That took it out in one lump sum the next pay period. They took $1900 out of his checks that wasnt suppose to come out. He fought the finance office for months. To this day...we have never seen that money. Yeah...they are a rip off. They are 80% of the reason we have to file bankruptcy.

I don't know we deff have to try and do something because it's even worse when there pregnant women and children in these houses! It's alright don't feel bad the military always does this kind of smurf to us. The list goes on and on. We would love to move but we don't rate it yet. and to move off base would cost us a lot of money out of pocket at first. ):

Thats horrible. My Dad was in the Army, and he had a bad expierence with it to, so I always stayed away from the military for myself, and in the guys I dated. I could never be strong enough to be a military wife, so I have exteme respect for them, and of course the troops. I want to say I cant belive the govt wouldnt be such smurfs, but I honestly am not that surprised. I just hope somethng like that doesnt happen to my best friend, cuz she is an Army wife.

You need to look around EVERYWHERE and find out where they are getting in and out. They have probably chewed holes in the walls to get in. When you find their little holes, get some of the expandable foam spray from Home Depot and put it in there to fill it back in, then just lay a bunch of sticky pads out everywhere that you usually see the rats the most. When you catch one, do the thing with the bag, then put another pad down. Eventually you'll clear them out that way if you make sure to fill in all those hole so more can't just get right back in. We had the same issue in an apartment we used to live in years ago. They didn't tell us we had to use the sticky pads, we just chose to because they seemed to work.
