Fun Factoids About Living Here

Factoid #1 - Ant cabinets are much needed. They don't keep out ants so much as rats, mice and other varmits. :) Although we haven't had much bother with ants. You still keep the stuff closed up inside these cabinets even though they are sealed pretty good!
Factoid #2: Having mice are normal! This is like a large sticky glue plate, kind of like US sticky tape for mice, but NOT :) Hey, they're bigger, so you can catch them easier. Notice it's as big as a plate!
Close up pic! Gross huh?
Factoid #3 - Be aware of ants! Here is a great ant deterrent - putting flour around the legs of the cabinet. It really does keep the ants away; they won't cross over the flour. Who knew??

Factoid #4 - Can't read the languages - have to label the washer :)
