You are a bad man. You made me spit jambalaya all over my computer.

Hey Moorluck, do you guys ever use phosgene or hemotoxins for exterminating rodents? What kind of safety precautions do you use to ensure the gas doesn't get into people's homes?
We don't use gases, it's got to many varibles. the safest way to handle rodents is with bait blocks, which we place in tamper resistant boxes that require a special key to open.

Now that Monk is over and he's not bringing home the big dollars, even he has to slum down with the rest of us. :P

Heh. Prison thread.

But in West Virginia? I wonder if he has a new project in the works.

Now I see why you asked. The use of gases to exterminate yard rodents, i.e. moles, voles, etc, is a tricky matter, it works, but if not handled properly can result in things like this. To be honest when it comes to burrowing rodents, I recomend the old impaling traps. You just have to find out which tunnels are active when you place them. As for the gases, different states have different regulations, SC disallowed the use of them about 20 years ago because our ground moisture levels make it unsafe to do so.
The case in the article seems like an unfortunate, but blamless tragedy. For it to have gotten into the home I would guess that there is a crack in the foundation or a simular vent point that leads to the home.

My major concern is that the owner of the company said on the news last night that the guy who did the call, while certified, does not usually handle this type of stuff. I can't help but wonder if he screwed something up somewhere along the line. I also wonder why he would suddenly change his standard way of doing things with this house. Maybe I have been watching too much CSI. Just so you know, I don't know the people, but it hits home with me when I hear about things like this.

Anybody have any idea of who the feminism people think they are talking to? It's odd. Maybe they're referring to somebody that SKR was arguing with earlier? They act like there is a great anti-egalitarian phalanx on these boards. Where are they?
Wait a minute, guys...nod once if they're right behind me...

The arrogance of that poster is really beginning to annoy me.

All I can go by is the article presented. I don't see where he says they altereed procedure, it's not unusual to try a lower hazard grade pesticed/rodenticide first. I feel for the family and the technician. He will always wonder if there would have been a way to prevent this from happening. I am glad to see the company is standing behind him though, it's very tempting to rake a person over the coals for things they had no control over.
