Let me start by saying that other than the Intro to Psychology course I took during  my freshman year of college, I have no training in therapy, counseling, psychology or psychiatry. Disclaimers aside, I have heard the plight of so many victims needing help, I couldn’t stay silent a moment longer. If you’re reading this right now, there is a good chance you are one such victim. If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid this sort of ordeal thus far in your life, take notes, because odds are you or someone you know and care about will have to face this problem at some point in time. The problem to which I am referring is rodents. Not just rodents themselves, butthe traumatic shock and lingering distress they inflict upon those they encounter.
Seeing a mouse skitter across the floor can trigger a range of responses. Some people resort to a primal, violent frame of mind and begin to strategize ways to eliminate the offender. Other people’s nurturing instincts take over, and they see the rodent as a cute little creature that needs care. A common reaction is fear, which can cause an otherwise rational person to become utterly helpless. As time passes, these varying reactions will often shift and blend from the variety of categories where they originate into a shared vein of frustration.
However a person initially feels after seeing a mouse in their house, if their efforts to remedy the situation don’t yield the desired results, their feelings will frequently follow a common pattern. This pattern may be familiar to some, and tends to involve 5 stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Originally coined by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross as The 5 Stages of Grief, it has been my experience that victims of rodent intrusion also tend to pass through these 5 stages. The order, duration, and intensity of each stage differs from person to person and is influenced by the severity of the rodent exposure. There is no right or wrong way to react to the trauma induced by rodent exposure, but with thoughtful consideration and precautionary measures, the disturbance can be lessened and future ordeals can be avoided.
Stay tuned for more information and please feel free to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

The fleas would be ttarsponred into your house by household pests (or the third one on the list). Incinerating household pests (or the third one on the list) rids of fleas.Throw out all of your food forever and ants will have nothing in your house to eat!Use grenades to flush out roaches, then hit them with your flamethrower.I can't believe you would want to get rid of spiders, the anti-pest guardians of the household.

Baby podwer kills ants.Boric acid podwer, made to kill roaches, form hardware stores and Wal Mart, behind and in between things in the kitchen and under sinks. This can kill spiders.Roach motels, glue traps, put around where ever. On shelfs.Fleas in carpet, lightly sprinkle the boric acid, test a spot first first to see what it will do to your carpet, work in with a broom. Let sit for hours. Then vacuum.Or use Gold Bond foot podwer, or the store brand.Or use soda and salt.The eggs are hard to kill. If they start hatching do again.If mopping, pine sol in the water.
