Why
are
rodents
trying
to
move
in
with
you?
Wouldn't
they
be
happier
in
a
pastoral
field
someplace
far
away
from
all
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
modern
life?
Wild
animals
belong
out
in
the
wild,
don't
they?
Aren't
they
even
called
"field
mice"
after
all??
Sadly,
while
we
might
like
to
think
of
rodents
as
wild
animals
that
belong
outdoors
(hopefully
far
away
outdoors),
they
are
classified
as
commensal
creatures,
from
the
English
word
meaning
"sharing
of
food."
Commensalism
is
described
as
a
relationship
between
two
organisms,
where
one
benefits
and
the
other
experiences
neither
positive
nor
negative
effects.

We
believe
mice
deserve
a
home
too,
but
not
in
our
house!
Rodents
pose
a
very
real
danger
to
people
when
they
move
into
your
home.
They
can
cause
dramatic
problems
such
as
fatal
diseases
or
damaging
electrical
wiring
resulting
in
a
house
fire,
or
more
subtle
problems
such
as
stealing
away
a
pet's
food
or
chewing
holes
in
personal
items.
Whatever
effect
they
have
on
your
home,
odds
are,
it's
undesirable.
Despite
these
drawbacks,
it
can
still
be
unsettling
to
feel
as
if
the
only
options
you
have
are
to
either
learn
to
live
with
them,
or
set
out
vicious
traps

Spring
is
in
the
air
and
life
as
we
know
it
has
picked
up
again.
Don't
let
yourself
be
one
of
the
many
that
will
open
up
your
cabin,
camper,
or
farm
equipment
to
find
it
destroyed
by
mouse
droppings
and
chewed
up
seats,
wiring,
carpet,
and
more!
This
is
the
fun,
and
exciting
time
of
year
when
we
all
get
the
itch
to
take
out

RV,
unpack
our
summer
clothes,
or
break
out
the
walking
shoes.
But
let
me
tell
you,
it

so
fun
when
you
unpack
your
belongings
to
find
them
stinky,
messy,
and
completely
unbearable.

Fresh

Natural
Rodent

works
so
well
at
getting
rid
of
rodents,
we
sometimes
feel
inspired,
moved,
compelled
even
to

our
joy.
Sometimes
we
dance
a
little
jig,
sometimes
we
catch
ourselves
humming
a
little
jingle,
"So
easy,
so
nice,
to
chase

at
times
like

we

from

Eek!
A

It
is

Since
1970,
April
22
has
been
widely
known
as
Earth
Day.
Inspired
by Vietnam
protests,
Wisconsin
Senator
Gaylord
Nelson
sought
to
organize
a
"teach-in"
about
environmental
concerns,
hoping
to
channel
the
energy
of
a
generation
of
protesters
toward
creating
national
awareness
and
policy
to
protect
the
environment.
It
worked.
After
Earth
Day
1970,
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA)
was
created,
along
with
the
Clean
Air,
Clean
Water,
and
Endangered
Species
Acts.
Earth
Day
has
since
become
one
of
the
largest
and
most
widely
celebrated
days,
with
more
than
half
a
billion
people
observing
it
each
year.

Greeting
customers,
friends,
and
Fresh
Cab
community!
Earth-Day
is
the
perfect
time
to
share
why
I
started
this
company,
rather
than
just
how
we
are
‘green’
or
earth
friendly. Being
green
is
secondary
really. I
think
every
successful,
lasting
company,
is
built
first
from
a
vision
that
encompasses
the
why,
as
much
as
the
how
and
what.
Here’s
my
why:
I
wanted
to
create
a
NEW
kind
of
company.
A
company
that
would
solve
natural
problems
in
a
natural
way.
Without
the
use
of
poisons,
or
plastics
in
formulations
or
packaging.
I’ve
always
questioned
myself
why
I
would
buy
a
product
that
runs
out
in
a
weeks,

"The
best
laid
schemes
of
mice
and
men
go
often
askew."
This
frequently
quoted
line
comes
from
Robert
Burns'
poem,
"To
A
Mouse."
April
is
National
Poetry
Month.
Started
in
1996,
National
Poetry
Month
seeks
"...to
increase
the
visibility
and
availability
of
poetry
in
popular
culture
while
acknowledging
and
celebrating
poetry..."
according
to
the
Academy
of
American
Poets
website.
Many
poets
are
inspired
by
everyday
experiences,
so
it
stands
to
reason
that
since
rodents
are
such
common
critters,
they
pop
up
in
a
number
of
poems.
Have
you
ever
considered
a
mouse
a
muse?

weekend
was
an
unforgettable
one
and
I

proud
to

attention

I

There

April
has
been
designated
as
National
Pest
Management
Month
by
the
National
Pest
Management
Association(NPMA).
When
you
think
of
'pest
management'
you
may
think
of
a
can
of
bug
spray,
or
sticky
roll
of
tape
for
catching
flies,
and
wonder
why
is
there
so
much
fuss
what
with
'professional
associations'
and
months
designated
to
their
honor
and
awareness.
Missy
Henriksen,
vice
president
of
public
affairs
for
NPMA
offers
this
very
nice
explanation:
"Many
people
may
not
realize
the
important
job
pest

perform

With
a
name
like
Earth-Kind,
it
should
be
obvious
that
we're
all
about
being
green
and
finding
natural
solutions
to
natural
problems.
While
we
were
kicking
around
ideas
recently,
a
team
member
pointed
out
how
close
the
all
important
term
CEO
is
to
another
key
concept,
ECO.
Here
at
Earth-Kind,
we
focus
on
being
both
economically
and
ecologically
kind.
When
we

this
up
to

by
saying,
"In

Let's
say
you
were
walking
through
the
store
one
day
and
came
across
a
product
that
looked
really
neat.
It
had
a
catchy

you
liked
the
look
of
the
packaging

the

Fresh
Cab
was
invented
on
a
farm,
so
let's
take
a
minute
to
see
what
this
little
farmer
can
tell
you
about
rodents
and
the
problems
they
can
cause:
No
matter
how
many
times
I
hear
some
of
those
facts,
I
still
get
a
chill
thinking
about
them!
They
are
enough
to
make
me
double
check
my
Fresh

pouches
to
be
sure
they
are
still
going
strong
(they
are
by
way,

at

left
before

to

Easter
happens
to
be
one
of
my
favorite
holidays.
Partly,
because
I
like
decorating
eggs,
but
mostly
because
it
is
a
fun
holiday
for
kids.
The
best
part
about
Easter
is
making
cool
creations
for
dessert
that
look
so
neat,
you
almost
don't
want
to
eat
them.
Here
are
two
of
my
personal
Easter
favorites.
Deviled
Eggs
-
Although
deviled
eggs
are
not
known
as
being
an
Easter
snack,
I
think
it's
fitting
for
the
season.
Originally,
when
deviled
eggs
were
made
on
Easter,
people
made
them
out
of
a
decorated
egg.
People
have
stopped
doing
this

My
kids
recently
asked
if
they
could
have
their
friends
come
over
for
an
Easter
egg
hunt.
My
first
reaction
was
not
apprehension
that
I
will
have
a
bunch
of
6
year
olds
running
around
my
back
yard,
but
rather,
"Oh
great,
their
parents
might
notice
the
mice
in
my
basement."
It's
like
my
very
own
Easter
egg
hunt,
only
not
as
fun.
I’m
ashamed
to
admit,
I
have
definitely
been
slacking
in
the
rodent
prevention
part
of
my
schedule,
especially
since
the
weather
is
getting
nice.
Also,

than

"Mice deserve a home too, just not in my house!" Fresh Cab is safe and effective; it's guaranteed to keep mice away, naturally, without any of the risks or side effects associated with traditional traps and poisons.
