Speaker 1 (00:00):
The best way to wake up in the morning, A
hot cup of coffee and Brian Thomas. Monday morning at
five on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
All right back ahead, do we go?

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Twenty minutes after the top of the hour, You're at
home with Gary Sullivan talking a little home improvement at
eight hundred eighty two three, eight two five five. And
as usual, right around this time every week, we bring
in our gardening boy, our yard boy, Ron Wilson, and
he's here once again.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Mister Wilson.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
How are you. Good morning, mister Sloman, Good morning, mister Wilson,
aren't you. I feel kind of bad, and I feel bad.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but when I was working
on your landscape about three or four weeks ago, I
left a shoe box full of field mice in your garage.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
I can't get rid of this.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
You didn't, by chance see any of them? Did Yeah? Yeah,
I've seen three of them up close and personal. Oh
were we able to catch him? Back to me? Okay,
but I only got three of them. Well, there was
about eight or nine in the bar. I think there
is about eight or n It could be up to
fifteen or twenty by now.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh, don't even say that. Don't even say it. I
thought we didn't see one or anything for like a week.
I said to Sue, I think we got rid of them.
And then it was like the next day there was
a little guy. He didn't quite make it out alive,
but he wasn't He wasn't very big.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
So that's a bad sign too.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, very frustrating.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Oh my gosh, I've never had a problem like that.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
And I should have known too, because when they're putting it, Yeah,
they had to remove all that ceramic tile on the floor,
so you know, you can imagine what a mess it is,
and the dust and it was so we had a
gross door open, we had windows open, we had everything.
And I guess those little guys said, hey, let's.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Go there bed and breakfast ladies and gentlemen right here. Well,
they got a nice little pantry, Sullivan's. Let's stay at
the climent.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
They're serving cheese crackers today.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's a nice little estate there. Can we get and
we get Sully's for the holiday season.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, I haven't made many drinks. They just like snacks
and we haven't had any drinks. I haven't had any
personal conversations with them. I haven't chased them. I haven't
even seen them. It's when they met their demise.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Do you wake up some night in the middle of
there's one sitting on your chest is smiling at you.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh I like that?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Or sat mister Sullerman, can please? They talk funny, they do.
We put a lot of things in plastic containers. Now,
I bet.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, here's an interesting thing, and maybe people listening can
relate to this.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
If you've ever had mice.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
The one thing they love is packages of cheese and
peanut butter crackers.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
You know, a little square sure, you know the lands things.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
And when we first noticed one, they had torn open
a package and half a cracker.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Was God. I said to Sue, I said, oh, we
got mice, and she just what do you mean? I said, look,
and she just, oh, mice wouldn't do that. I said,
they sure would. You think I did it?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
They come up there sitting on that shelf having a
half a cheese cracker.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
And uh, come on, yeah, there wouldn't be anything left
but the rapper if I was doing that.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
So anyway, I'd finally convinced her was mice. It threw
the crackers away. And tug on they got into another pack. Anyway,
bottom line, we didn't buy anymore. Right, we had no
cheese crackers. I bought a pack last week and that's
when the mice came.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
No way, Yes we didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
See them, we didn't hear them. We had no damage. Yay,
we got rid of the mice. I said, I think
it's time to get some cheese being a butter cheese
crackers again.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
And next night, bang.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Try just the cheese ones. Why you think they're discriminating eaters? No,
you never know. I yeah, well, I.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Guess I want to keep buying them with a peanut
butter because eventually they're going to go on a trap.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Get those.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'll get those by chance. Recommend a certain type of
mouse trap when you have mice.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Boy, you know what that's interesting And you know this
in your pissedness. There are so many mice traps. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's like many differentic of paint. Yeah, yeah, you just
spin around.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I like old fish and mice traps, old snap traps,
Yeah snapam quick and easy. I tried the one where
they get in there and it turns them upside down.
Oh yeah, and they hang upside down, I guess.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And then but you don't see them at least.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah, well away or what yeah whatever, but those.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Still snap No, I'm still the snap trap.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
And then you got the glue ones all different sizes.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That's not fair. Yeah, and then they just stick there
and look at you. Gotta do something with them.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
You don't like to look at them now.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
I don't want them to look at me, just you know.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
I don't want to know I'm doing anything.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh, that's a tough one.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Maybe I can just quit buying cheese crackers and I
won't have mice.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
That would be a good idea.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I don't know if that's working. No, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
And you know the essential oil thing, I haven't tried that.
But we had had and lice let's say twenty years
ago in this house, and I think it was like
put out a trap, caught the miles, that was it,
and I put some of the mouse magic in there.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah with the center. I just getting ready to say that.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
And I never saw another mouse, So I don't know
if there was just one at that point or they
really didn't like that.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Stuff really does work, I had, folks. That's from Bonn
Eye by the way mouse magic, and they have rat
magic too, which I said, why would you call it
rat man? Just anyway, And they put it where they
would store their produce and potatoes and stuff in the basement,
and they always had would have some roading issues, and
so they put that in there. And they said once
they did that, they never had them again. And it

(05:41):
worked last I think about what thirty days. Yeah, so
like that and replenish it. But it as a repellent,
obviously it doesn't physically remove them, which is the only
sure cure, but as a repellent that was always when
they got fairly good reviews.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah, And like I said, I.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Used that years and years ago and had good luck
with it, and I thought about getting some of that
and try it again.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, they go to the pantry, they go at night.
They know where the food sources. I have no idea
where they're living.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, I thought I did, because there was a in
the back of the cabinet not far from there. There's
a down draft fan and there's a romex cable that
goes through the back of the cabinet. So there was
a hole cut and Sue found it and she goes,
could they becoming there.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I said, well, they can be coming from anything. If
there's an opening, they could be coming there. They could
be living behind that cabinet.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
And so we got that filled up and we didn't
see anything for like I said, a good week. But
now we're seeing them again and the filling is still there,
so they're coming another way. But they always end up
in the pantry. So if I put the mouse magic
in the pantry, mice won't be there, and then there
may not be.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Well, they may be somewhere. You never know, or they say.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
The heck with this place. They're not serving food anymore. Yeah, yes,
do me a favor. Would you tell missus Sullivan that
we have a little bit of a drought going on?
You know, I will? I will, because I know that's
important to her and it is kind.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Of water and you're probably getting tired of making fun
of when you used to always talk about the drought
and she swore there wasn't a drought.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yep. We'd go back and forth, but for me, I'm
trying to understand. Yes, all right, yeah, look just a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
