On a personal note: What a bunch of parasites!
I saw John's story on Teleread: http://www.teleread.com/copy-right/d...john-schember/
It was quite informative. As it turns out, these particular rodents are Russian. That complicates matters...I wish you success in eliminating your rodent issue. I suggest D-Con.
