I can handle almost anything in the world, except for rats in addition to cockroaches.
This dates back to growing up in the hood, in a bad condo building that was crawling with both of those pests.
When I was numerous I got bit by a rat, in addition to had to go to the ER for shots, so can you blame myself and others for having a bit of a phobia where they are nervous? I almost had a heart attack a few weeks ago when I thought our beach house had rats in the attic, however it was just squirrels. It turns out that squirrels can tear up HVAC duct far worse than any rodent ever could, knowing it was squirrels was superb for our mental health, because if it was rats squirming around in our HVAC ducts then I would just have to transport out. As it stood I had no mental problem with the pests, however they were ruining our indoor air quality in addition to making the home odor funky. I had an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C tech come by in addition to provide myself and others an inspection, in addition to she pointed out many problem areas in our duct system. Of course she couldn’t address the troubles I was facing or work on the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system at all, because of the critter infestation. She told myself and others exactly what needed to be done, in addition to that none of it could happen until an exterminator had cleared out all the squirrels from the HVAC duct. I thought about trying to do it myself, however it would result in a bunch of dead squirrels in the HVAC ducts, which would be even worse.
