So with you on the bugs. Just the thought of masses of them - or even large-scale orderly gatherings with decent crowd control - makes my skin shiver. The SG says it's been record-breaking in Knoxville - 90 to 100 for three weeks straight - so I expect chez you is probably seeing the same sorts of things. SUCKS. If you think of anything I can to do help (1) from afar and (2) sadly without a wand, I stand ready to do it.

I am so sorry. I highly recommend calling in the professionals for extermination of vermin, though. They have the experience and access to tools it can be hard to get otherwise. I am extra sorry that you have rats. As a vegan that must be really awful. Sympathy... Oh gah. I am so sorry.

It was a few months after we bought our first house. We had a a 1 year old and a 3 month old. And we had a vacation planned for the next week (to New Orleans where we met). It was a hard decision, but we took the vacation. Everything worked out and I am really glad we took that trip. Not only was the vacation great for us to regroup during a stressful time, but it is also something we can look back on and remember that we can persist in the face of fear. Enjoy your trip.

I think I am leaning towards the latter.. Glad to hear Clyde is doing better..

I'm a little bit optimistic that this treatment will help, but not much. And putting off the trip is probably a good idea. It might help to think of it that way. Thanks. :) Yeah, we called a few exterminators and we may end up going that route yet. I’m a little bit optimistic that this treatment will help, but not much.

Apparently they can be called kittens, pups, or even rittens. I kind of like rittens, but in an endearing way and that's not very helpful at the moment. Baby rats.

We had a flea infestation along the same lines in the house I lived in when I was at university, and this is bringing all of those awful memories back. I definitely feel for you! In case it helps, the thing that finally solved our problem was calling an exterminator. Trying to do it all ourselves with various over-the-counter products did nothing and in fact made them harder to kill. :-/ Could you put OFF the holiday rather than not taking it? -J Oh, UGH.
