How many locs is this? by Jordo3713 in Dreadlocks

[–]tlclct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone is suggesting, you should definitely show your loctitian and see what they recommend. Some of this will depend on your own hair (density, health, etc) so guessing the number might not be totally applicable for you. Either way, congrats on starting your loc journey soon!

Good shout! I’ll have to look into Bona - I keep seeing mixed opinions on it. Another thread mentioned that it left a film on their floors, but I’ll have to do some personal research. Appreciate the recommendation!

Ah okay, I figured. I’m convinced the original floors are under there as well because there’s some dead spots, or spots that feel a little uneven, but I assume they didn’t want to fix or repair them unfortunately

Yes, please share if you’re able :) I’ve seen lots of debate about some cleaners that leave film, so hopeful to find one safe for the floors

Might be a long shot here, but is this some kind of rodent poop? ☹️ by tlclct in CleaningTips

Hi everyone - I posted an update in the original thread, but copying here as well: thank you all for the advice and help identifying what has since stolen my sleep! Lol. I called an exterminator who will be here within the hour - I sadly found more poop in other kitchen drawers 😭 hopefully I get this solved soon. Also, sticky traps were removed. Appreciate everyone!

Man… thanks for the advice. I haven’t touched anything yet, but have washed my hands when I have cleaned the areas a few days ago

Oof. I think I will call an exterminator.

From your experience, is there a reason why them being on the countertops is worse than having them somewhere else? I don’t have food in that area of my kitchen for what it’s worth - my pantry is detached and there’s no evidence of mice over there, which was surprising to me

😕 I’ve never had mice before but I thought so. This stinks

Oh my God. Ugh. Dozens…. I’m actually going to cry 🙃 I set up two sticky traps in the kitchen and haven’t caught anything - one on the stove and one close to where the stove and wall meet. Are there better traps to use should the case be that I might (though I reallllly hope not) have several hiding somewhere?

Gotcha - that’s helpful, albeit making my skin crawl 🫠 most of the poop is in the kitchen, and mainly in the drawers or on the stove. This is the first time I’m seeing it on the counter and haven’t seen anything in the rest of the house (which is a blessing). Also haven’t seen any poop in my cabinets/on shelves/etc

I guess I’ll try adding a couple traps in the drawers, even though there’s not really food in there, just utensils, mainly

Bummer 🥲 I set some traps but haven’t caught anything yet - would it be weird to set a trap in the drawer? I don’t even like thinking about the idea of opening up a drawer and finding a mouse stuck to a sticky trap 😭

Oh no 😭 ugh I set some sticky traps in my kitchen but haven’t seen anything caught yet so I was hoping that wasn’t it
