I’ve got mice - I need to talk to this homeowner - ‘Let’s make a deal’

[umgud]

So, the bank will now need to Chase this down?

Buy house, buy several pet mongooses....

Problem solved.

If I recall correctly from the television program about the house, it stinks. The water stinks, the air in the house stinks, the house stinks everywhere.

Those little garters don’t eat mice, they eat insects, small frogs, etc. Get a cat or two.

A challenge for the expert.

guinea hens - lots and lots of guinea hens

garter snakes are no problem. But what are they eating that keeps them around?

[Domandred]

Mental note: When looking for a new house purchase next month ask about snakes.

Article didn’t say location (or I missed it) and I’m in Idaho.

Garters emit an strong *odor*.

And the previous owners said it would cost 100k to lift the house up and put in a cement pad. I never did understand the man not checking into why his water tasted funny.

I thought they were going to say it’s haunted. I can deal with ghosts, snakes...Not so much.

There was something about one of the parents bathing the kids in water that smelled bad, I nearly freaked when I heard that in the program.

There are whole regions with high sulphur content in groundwater, giving it a vague odor of rotten eggs. Soap won’t lather in it either, it’s too hard. It was just something you put up with to be at the beach in NC and SC prior to the advent of municipal water systems down there, and it’s still not great water, just better than awful.
