It's like I've always said - you can't live in a city and expect not to have a pest problem!

(For that matter, I'm not so sure you can do it in the country as well. Pretty much, I assume that if you say you don't have a bug or rodent problem, what you mean is that you simply don't know of the bugs and rodents sharing your life.)

Or you think it's not a problem.

[conuly]

Well, yes, that too.

An infestation is a problem. I guess in a commercial place, in the basement, it's not surprising. But running out in the open, well, that means there are WAY too many hidden.

And I've lived in places where I never saw anything, except one mouse in five years. To me, that's no problem. A place where I couldnt spend one moment without seeing a bug? That's a problem.

we had an under-the-sink cupboard where we kept extra catfood and birdseed in the house i lived in in high school. you can imagine mice liked that cupboard. i always competed with my cat to see who could catch the most mice (I let mine live, she killed hers). my mom didn't think it was quite as fun a game as i did, but i rather enjoyed the rodent "problem."

after reading that article, thinking about all the dirty humans preparing food in restaurants makes me not want to go out to eat again...

Agreed. Because it's never just one mouse. Mouse doesn't exist, anyway. Mice, now. Mice exist.
