From some bizarre incident, you just finished cleaning up POOP from a backed up toilet!!! You’re wearing the rubber gloves so that you don’t get your hands yucky and the helmet is to help escape the putrid smell filling the air!! Now you’re just showing off because you conquered what nobody in the household wanted to do!!! hehehehe… Where’s my reward??!!
OK the wait is over. Just US was close. Leslie was right on. We had a small rat problem in the old house. Construction behind us was flushing the rats to a new home. There was a large pool of water underneath our house perfect for the rats to take up shop. I didn't know about the pool, so I put some rat traps under the house. Well if you don't know how rat poison works here it is. Rats eat it, it dries them out and they run (outside to water usually) and die. Well they didn't have far to run in our case(about 15 feet). So the smell from the bathroom wasn't one of the boys. After further inspection I determined we had 3-4 rats that had died under the bedroom. If you have ever smelled a block of Limburger(sp) cheese; it was 10 times worse. So I put on the boots and my coveralls and dressed for battle. I wrapped an old shirt to seal between the helmet and my collar and rubbed an ample amount of vick's vapor rub under my nose. I pulled on the rubber gloves and rubberbanded them to prevent any exposure. Did I mention that vicks burns your eyes about as much as cs gas. The unfortunate thing here was after all the planning and work on protecting myself, I got to a point where I couldn't breathe in the helmet and had to lift the visor......Holy Barfarama, I nearly vomited inside my helmet when the stench hit me like a ton of bricks. I dry heaved my way through the coroner duties and resurfaced unscathed. Lesson learned: hire a professional if you ever find rats have taken nest near your home. To all winners....I am authorizing you to take this lovely rat killer photo and print it out or post it on any other website you want. I am releasing all rights to this photo to you... Enjoy the rat stew I sent you fedex. The rats were frozen when they left here!!!!!
You were killing rats.
