Bible Note: Hello mamametal, I'm understanding your dilemma better. However- and I don't mean this in a meanspirited way- there is a point where we need to excercise common sense! Remember, the purpose of the Bible is not to address any and all situations we come across in everyday life! For instance, God doesn't tell us what type of car to drive or where to live, etc. It's also not a manual about pest-control! And... it's not supposed to be! Fortunately, God gave us a mind and the ability to think and reason! Ask yourself, 'what would a normally-prudent person do in such a situation'? Personally, I'd call my local pest control company and let them deal with it:-) I hope this makes sense and helps. BradK |
