The days are going to be shorter now. Don’t worry, it happens every year. We are a week or two away from the beginning of the end of daylight savings time. It is still unclear as to whether or not that means one gets to sleep in or needs to get up earlier. Regardless, someone always forgets about it and shows up either an hour late or an hour…
It is almost the most magical time of the year for the pest control technicians at Noble Way Pest Control. No other major holiday celebrates bugs, pests and rodents like Halloween. The ultimate in creepy crawly, scary things. As much as you would think the opposite, we really do like the bugs, pests and rodents that we make our living getting rid of. We know it sounds a little…
You are eating a bowl of gazpacho in the shade of your back patio and you start to get the feeling that you are being watched. You try and ignore it but the feeling is simply too strong to shake, it is creepy on a whole new level. The problem is, you simply can’t tell just what or who is watching you. The next morning you attempt breakfast on…
Have you ever been sitting there watching T.V. and just as the moderately-famous people dancing show ends there is a moment of quiet. The noise of excruciatingly upbeat ballroom dancing is silenced for a few moments and then you hear it. The noise is hard to explain but it sounds a bit like scratching in your walls. It kind of freaks you out but you go on rooting for…
It is a bright sunny day. The birds are chirping, the bees are busy pollinating your tulips and the summer sun is starting to sink below the horizon earlier everyday. Contrary to the cartoons we grew up watching, spring is not the only time that all of the animals are preparing for mating season. A lot of little critters are currently looking for a nice cozy home to spend…
I was once a cat person. I say that with the utmost seriousness, I was a cat person, but I am no longer. My home used to have seven of the little fuzzy creatures roaming the hallways. The unfortunate part is the fact that I actually love cats. They are like little serial killers, always creeping around but personable and cuddly when they want to be. I loved my…
The integrity of your business is dependent upon many things. They may run the gamut between top-notch advertising to free donuts on fridays. The one thing that will sink your business faster than anything else, is a rodent infestation. Customers tend to view a place of business with visible evidence of rodent activity as and extremely dirty environment. This is not always true. Don’t Blame Yourself The perfect storm…
It is a big day today, not just for the solar cycle and the earth but in the life of mice everywhere. Today represents a huge day in the life of a mouse. It is the first day of summer in Sacramento and the sun does something to indicate this. What that is, I don’t really know. In the general social culture of a mouse, the summer solstice is…
Do you ever wish that when mice came into your house, it was easy to find them? You would find them sitting in their little archway-shaped hole in the trim; eating a piece of swiss cheese and watching TV. The cat would occasionally chase them and hilarity would ensue. I would recommend, if this is the case, that you keep the dynamite on the top shelf, but that cat…
Your patio is an oasis from the hectic world outside of the backyard. The grill flares with intensity and the burgers sizzle in the heat of the evening. The smell wafts off of the grill and makes you forget that a few hours ago there was a family of mice (mouses or meese, whichever you prefer) taking up residence inside your grill.
