Find out where pickup is tomorrow, bring your bags to a multi unit there. All set.

If you're actually the Anxious Crystal you claim to be, try Worcester Cosmetic and Restorative. I haven't been back since the elder Hedstrom retired and his son took over, but the staff there are super friendly and accomodating for anxious peeps.

Feeley Dental on Mountain Street. The dentist and his staff are great. I was in a similar situation and hadn't been to the dentist in years.

It got cold out and they want the warmth. Every fall/winter we deal with a few mice. We recently moved in to a place surrounded by woods. It got to the point they were in the ceiling so we had to poison them instead of using traps. If you rent contact a landlord, if its your house get more traps/maybe move it up to poison. Tomcat Chunx worked well for us.

That looks fabulous!

If you rent, your landlord can hire an exterminator. Our landlord had to and i havent seen a mouse since.

Love the owners Bobby & Angela. Still surprised they opened this restaurant so close to sake bomb their other location.

I wish they would open an H Mart near or in Worcester 😭😭

They come from anywhere and everywhere. If you aren't sure how to find the holes outside, hire pest control

It’s been about $180 for the Fall/Winter guaranteed mice service but I don’t know if that is a discounted price because we also use their service for Spring/Summer carpenter ant spraying which is also about $180.

Believe it or not, Worcester actually has some pretty great digital services. The new city website is better than almost every municipal website that I have seen, especially for vital records.

Anyone that thinks yong shing is good must be hammered

I had just one in my kitchen causing havoc the past few weeks. I tried the peanut butter method and it licked the traps clean, 5 of them and no snap! I saw a YouTube video about hot gluing dog or cat kibble on the plate so they try to take it away but can’t and SNAP they dead. Worked on our FAT, indoor-all-it’s-life unwelcome visitor within 2 hours. I was properly freaked out since I’d never even seen a mouse before irl. Call me privileged but my parents place I moved from never had any rodent or pest issues in Worcester. One positive side effect of having OCD parents.

I used Ford’s Hometown Service. It was pricey but worth it. I also no longer leave food anywhere outside of the fridge. Once I’ve opened a container, it goes in the fridge. I tried the sonic repellent & peppermint oil that others mentioned. The professionals were the most effective.

Kenny of sake bomb?

Yes it does! Thank you

Cat

That looks and sounds delicious to me 🤤

Poison is the absolute worst. Not only does it kill birds of prey; but heaven forbid one gets caught in your walls dying from poison. It’ll smell like the worst sour milk in the world for 2 weeks.

I used to walk with the pest control at my previous job. They use glue boards, snap traps, copper wire to plug holes (mice can’t chew through it easily). A little trick they did was putting the snap traps in dog food for a few days before putting them out. If you can fit a pen through a hole then the mouse can fit. Also - mice are creatures of habit. They run along walls, if you have a real issue you’ll see rub marks. I’ve been told they don’t typically leave more than 30 from the nest. Hopefully some of that helps!

Welcome to a Worcester! Seriously though they’re coming in from the cold. Understandable but sad. Caught 12 last winter. Three during the summer heat wave. Shoulda stayed outside.

Buy some traps. Use dog food wrapped in peanut butter as bait. Get a cat if you can.

You're hammered and I love this post, but you can get this at any Sichuan-style restaurant, and it's usually the best dish available. Enjoy, it always rips.

Agree. I actually found a few places they come into my house and I just stick snap traps along the wall at the opening. So there are maybe 6 traps along the row on each side of the hole with a few stuck right up to the entrance.

If one mouse gets in one and flips it, the next trap will catch the next mouse. I've had several in the traps at the same time. I catch a few dozen a year and no longer see mouse trails around the house. Better to find where they enter and put traps down. If you seal it, they'll just find another spot you can't figure out. No need for bait either when you know where they enter.

They travel along walls and will walk right through the trap. The downside is the bait encourages them to get their head snapped. No bait, you end up with the mouse in different arrangements, but still dead.

I use the plastic kind with large teeth. Other traps may not work as well with the no-bait technique:

For real. We hear mice in our walls and attic, but they never enter our living space; they can smell our cats.

Not going to lie I've been craving rangoons. Maybe I'll stop there on my way back home tomorrow.
