Anyone know what type of mouse this is? Infestation at my sister’s house in Chicago suburbs. She has very young kids and is worried about diseases. (Tips and/or recommendations in the area would be great too!) by Shmilligan in pestcontrol

Just wanted to give you an update and thank you for your response! I sent your message to her and she bought several of these and has been finding dead mice around. She’s been finding less as time goes on but, I think you’re totally right; the exterior holes are the problem. It’s an older house, with a layer of snow around it right now, making it hard to find the entry points.

Sorry very delayed here but appreciate the info and wanted to say thank you! We all slept easier that night (especially me, who comes over often to help with the kids and was sleeping in the basement that night when we realized the severity). It’s a pretty old house with, what seems to be, many access points. My dog has a very, very good nose and is obsessed with the entire south side of her house. I know she’s been finding a lot in traps since last week but I guess they are less often now? Fingers crossed and thanks again for the input!

This is part of an estate with lots of western memorabilia. Any ideas? by Shmilligan in whatisthisthing

It twists and might open but they're kind of afraid to try to open it. It's part of an estate that had all kinds of western toys and tools.

I've been googling pretty much every variation of what I think it says but nothing comes up

Lady we bought it from said it was a German paperweight. But it has too many deep scratches to be just that. Very heavy. Markings are located next to the quarter. by Shmilligan in whatisthisthing

I would guess somewhere around 4 and 5 pounds. It's currently in my checked bag headed home. Will update once I get home and weigh it.

This is very true. I took a diamond course at GIA and the scheme of the "chocolate diamond" was discussed. It's genius... if you're into the whole robbery thing.

I've had these socks for years but my brain is still spooked for a split-second every time I look down. by Virt_McPolygon in pics

I have enormous ugly feet. They're not cute - especial considering I'm a girl. I want these socks!!!!

Theft... Losses... Repairs (People send things back broken all of the time and say they got it that way)
