We are submitting this letter and findings of a thorough inspection of our
property inside and outside to show our compliance to your request that our
property must be exterminated by a licensed exterminator due to a suspicion
that rats or mice are harboring in or around the shed at the rear of our
property.
The exterminator spent almost 2 hours yesterday going over our entire
property,including coming inside our house. He found absolutely no evidence
of any mice or rats. He said these rodents are able to travel over 100 yards
and could be coming from anywhere including the Witchcraft Heights School.
We have put a container containing rat poison under our shed just in case. No
food has been eaten. We are one property in a neighborhood where almost
everyone has a shed on there lawn. The rodents could be traveling from
another location. The holes at the neighboring property fence could have
been made by any animal. In the past I have seen raccoons going through
yards at night.
Because our property is not the source of our neighbors sightings, it may be
beneficial to look around our neighborhood. Neither myself or my husband
have seen any evidence of a rodent problem,and we have been looking. There
are no holes on the other sides of our property, nor have the other neighbors
seen any activity.
Sincerely,
Enclosed is inspection report Karen&Bob Sprei
