When I worked at K Mart we had a serious problem with rats and roaches. The
problem? We had a suspended ceiling that fed into the other businesses in
the strip mall we were in. So while we took precautions, the other
businesses did not and their vermin got into our place.

Currently I am having a problem with my neighbor who hasn't mowed his lawn
in over a year. Normally he does it only once a year on July 3rd. But he
didn't this year. I did see online that a house on this block has been
foreclosed on and while it doesn't give the address, it does appear from the
description to be his. He took it from a tiny house up to a big one then
ran out of money to finish it. And it looks it! I think he may have been
depressed or something. I always thought he was very good looking but then
last year he didn't cut his hair and grew a beard that hung almost to the
ground. He looked awful. He has since shaved although I haven't seen him
in many months. Normally he comes over here on the 4th but he didn't this
year. I was worried because his truck hadn't moved for many days. But
since then I have seen it has moved at least twice. Still haven't seen him
though.

Anyway... Terminix said all of the bait was eaten from our rat and mouse
traps but no bodies were inside. So I think they are living in his grass.
Angela is now 5'6". His grass was taller than she was but then a heavy rain
knocked it over. It is since starting to pop back up. It is very dry and I
think it is not only a fire hazard but a breeding ground for vermin. But my
dad said the city probably won't do anything about it because there are just
sooo many houses in the same state. Because of the economy, people are just
abandoning their houses and nothing is being done to them.
