Bible Question (short): should i kill houshold pest |
Question (full): what am i supposed to do about the mice and rats that are invading my home. my neighborhood was a quiet and well maintained, consisting mostly of older couples, but the city re-zoned the area resulting in almost every lot for miles around to have at least 1 home built in what was once a back yard, some property around me have 3 homes squeezed onto the property. When it was just us old people here, I feel we all respected each other and our neighborhood, We took the small effort it took to be sure out garbage was confinen to the can and all paid to have the local garbage collector to take it away.. now that the neighborhood is trippled with people alot of theese new ones are not making sure thier garbage is put in a closed container and in some cases the garbage collection has stopped (probably for lack of payment) but the garbage is piled up, overflowing, and scattered ... Now i never had a problem with rats or mice in the 20 years before this re-zoning.. I do what is necessary to maintain the property i own. i think the rats and mice are overflowing from all the garbage left out in the open...What should i do in order to keep my home and property rodent free. Is it right to poisen them? AND WHAT ABOUT THESE FRUIT FLIES THAT WONT GO AWAY, EVEN IF I TOTALLY RID MY KITCHEN OF ANY FRUIT OR FOOD those fruit fkies are pestering me as i sit in a bedroom, totally closed away from the kitchen, the fruit flies are flaunting thier wings.. i am not over run with the fruit flies,, I notice only about 10 in each room BUT THAT IS 10 MORE THAN I CAN STAND !! the rats and mice and the fruit flies make me itch all over, it might be in my head but it is a problem i dont want to learn to live with, the bites and whelts on my skin are real. am i really wrong to kill the invaders? |
