Mouse house!

Start a list of potential medical bill write offs, list should include:

• Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
• Leptospirosis
• Bordetellosis
• Encephalomyocarditis
• Pseudorabies
• Salmonellosis
• Swine dysentery
• Swine erysipelas
• Toxoplasmosis
• Trichinosis

 

yeah, i too was going to mention the Hantavirus, which can be deadly

 

Well don't eat anything with sprinkles on it and those aren't sprinkles.

 

I was gonna say, @sawmill ..... any advice on catching the moths, and what size scalpel to use? LoL.
Stay safe, @TruckerVinny .... hope this works out for ya, man!

 

Some folks act like its the end of the world. It's just a mouse. No need to trade the truck in for a different one.

Around these parts, it's not uncommon at all to find evidence of mice if your truck has been sitting a day or two. Just use moth balls, rat poison, traps, or whatever. Get rid of them and keep on truckin.

Also, to the OP, if you have a CPA or other person who does your taxes, ask them about the kitty write-off, and then report back your findings, if you wouldn't mind.

Maybe I can dream up a reason to tax-deduct my dog...

 

^^ I'd go the kitty-route too, Vinny. They smell better than moth balls (in the bag) and no need for surgical removal of live ones, LoL!

Service cat, service dog, be creative!!!!!!!!!

 

^^^^ omg I DON'T mean a cat in the bag....the ballz! ( moth ones, not kitties! ) Let the cat OUT! Sheesh, I got nowhere with this fast; sorry I work nights, LoL.

 

It may not be the end of the world, no driver starting with any company should have to deal with that, I sure and the hell wouldn't..

It's unacceptable for any company to put a driver in a truck that's trashed, specially with mice...

These companies have the money to have the trucks cleaned out properly so it's fresh for the next person...

The more drivers that let stuff like this slide, the more it will happen.

I wouldn't sleep in my house if I had a mouse or whatever until it was gone... Say what you want, that's just me...

 

Not a driver yet, but in my shop out here in the desert I use a homemade kind of trap that appears to catch every rodent.

Materials list; a tall narrow (so they can't jump out) wastebasket like for kitchen, a 24-30" length of dowel or light metal tubing, and a plastic jar with lid. Drill jar and lid so it goes over the rod. Cover jar lightly with peanut butter and slip it on the rod. Tuck one end of rod end in something to hold it horizontal and have the other end, with jar, hang over the wastebasket.

They will climb out to eat, the jar will turn out from under them, and they'll be captive in the wastebasket. If you want them dead, put water in the wastebasket. I prefer to support my local predator and always dump them in the same spot. I've had an owl swoop out of the darkness and gather one up right in front of me, which made it worth it for me.

Also agree about it not reflecting well on that company to issue you a dirty truck.
