I loved the movie Ratatouille. I love good food and thought this was a very clever film. My kids aren't too into it, though. I think it's a little too grown up for them at times. My son hates the part when the old lady shoots at the rats. It upsets him. I always have to skip that part of the movie so he can watch the rest of it.
But right now I want that old lady to come live at my house. I have rats living under my home. At first we were told it was a juvenile rat -- just one -- since there was not a lot of poop in my kitchen drawer (yes, he was hanging out with my kitchen towels). I was also told that he was not under the house but that he had come inside from an open door. To say that I was freaked out was an understatement. I-HAVE-A-RAT-LIVING-IN-MY-HOME?? The horror!! I do not like rodents and rats, while cute in cages, are not my thing.
The exterminators, however, had no clue what they were talking about. Not only do we have more than one rat they are living under the house. So while THEY could not find an opening for the rat(s) to come and go -- they assumed it was still in the house. They did not do anything to help. I had them put traps under the house just in case. Well, they caught one under the house. I had hoped that was it. But no... we can hear him/them(?) eating and messing around under the floors of our den. It's quite unnerving, actually.
And while I want my unwanted house guests to leave --- I still picture cute Remy the rat making food and being so cute in Ratatouille. I wish they would just leave on their own so that I wouldn't have to turn into the old lady and start shooting at them with my 12-gauge shotgun (not that I have one anyway!).
Anyone have some great advice on how to get rid of unwanted house guests?
