We had a rat

We had a rat (or big mouse, who knows) in our kitchen drawers and cabinets on Monday night. That hasn't happened since May. So with Dad's help I plugged up a few more holes I found in the back of the cabinets. Dad spent most of Tuesday working on the source of the problem. There's an area above the water heater downstairs where there is access to the space between the upstairs floor and drop ceiling downstairs. The area is full of pipes and is really hard to close up. I've tried to use screen wire in the past, but wasn't very successful. Dad is making good progress getting the area closed off. He's even going to leave a little access door so I can put in poisen or rat traps as I need to. What a big help this is to us! Who needs rats in the kitchen?!
