|
| ''Please stick your name next to anything you've completed.''
| | Please report any pests at all (rats, cockroaches, mice, etc) at the Tuesday meeting. |
| | |
| ==On Going==
| |
| ===Food and Kitchen===
| |
| * Do not leave food out after you've left the space. Rats love left overs.
| |
| * Use trash cans with lids. Rats love to jump into open cans.
| |
| * Wash all your dishes and put them away. Rats love that you don't clean your plate.
| |
| | |
| ===General Space===
| |
| * Don't create hiding space. Rats love to hide under and around tight spaces, such as build out materials.
| |
| * Don't create nesting spaces. Rats love them too.
| |
| * Don't leave the doors open during the later hours when no one is around. Rats would much rather walk right in than create a new hole to sneak in.
| |
| | |
| ==The War on Rats==
| |
| ===Geneva Convention===
| |
| * Can't kill or hurt the rats. --The Vegans
| |
| * Can't get a cat. --The Allergenic
| |
| | |
| ===Defensive===
| |
| * Find and eradicate (clean with soap to get rid of any scent they'll want to return it) all nests.
| |
| ** Under the stairs leading up to the fire escape.
| |
| ** In the elevator room.
| |
| ** Under the DJ booth.
| |
| ** Possibly under the hack and user shelves.
| |
| ** Possibly under all the build out materials next to the classrooms.
| |
| ** Possibly under all the spare wood and shelves in the shop.
| |
| * Patch all new holes (fill with steel wool and spray foam so they wont bother with it).
| |
| ** In the elevator room.
| |
| ** Under the DJ booth.
| |
| ** Under the stairs leading up to the fire escape.
| |
| * Install rubber gaskets/sweepers under doors to reduce space for the rats to run under.
| |
| ** Main entrance.
| |
| ** Not-a-fire-escape.
| |
| ** Door at the end of the stairs under the DJ booth.
| |
| | |
| ===Offensive===
| |
| * Build a better mouse trap.
| |
| ** Trap cannot hurt the rats as to not make the vegans angry.
| |
| ** Let go of the rats at Pumping Station: One.
| |
| | |
| ===Experimental===
| |
| ====Ultrasonic====
| |
| * Get ultrasonic emitters. [http://www.amazon.com/Victor%C2%AE-PestChaser%C2%AE-Ultrasonic-Rodent-Repellent/dp/B0015WM4QA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1267045186&sr=8-4]
| |
| * Set them up outside of the space.
| |
| ** At the end of the ledge holding the lights in the main stairs.
| |
| ** In the not-a-fire-escape stairwell.
| |
| ** At the bottom of the stairs under the DJ booth.
| |
| * See if any humans can hear them.
| |
| | |
| ====Peppermint====
| |
| * Get some peppermint.
| |
| * Spread it around the space without stinking up the space.
