Pests - the non-human variety:

Rodents

We currently have two electronic mouse traps, and one electronic rat trap (post here if you know of any more!)

  • Mouse trap #1:
Current location: in open corner in the "mushroom closet" - left storage room off CCL.
Catches: 09/07
  • Mouse trap #2:

Catches:
  • Rat Trap:
Current location: upstairs fridge area, to the left of the metal rack that is perpendicular to the wall
Catches: 09/07 (mouse, several days old)
