Comment Figure out how they are getting in (Score 1) 1032

When you called in the exterminator did they do a full survey of your facility to look for avenues of entry for the little guys? We had some mice in the wall between our garage and the inside of our house and the exterminator spent about two hours going around the entire perimiter and crawlspace looking for gaps they could get in. If you just keep catching and killing them you just get rid of the current ones but new ones will continually gain entry.

Find out how they are getting in. Block those entries with proper stuff (not foam, they'll chew through it, but solid wire mesh or drywall). Get rid of potential food sources. Then kill off the ones inside.

Comment Humans and feet (Score 1) 174

Most bug tracking software can do dependent links or related bugs. But when it comes down to it you have to use your feet and go walk over to people and actually talk to them if your stuff needs fixing. By going around and chatting with people you're dependent on you'll always have a sense for what's going on and when management comes to ask you can stop staring at your gum-filled shoes and give 'em a straight answer. :)
