Mice and roaches question

My neighbors like squalor, apparently... So the building is now infested. I have zero food in my apartment now, as part of my efforts to keep my small space quarantined.

So my question is this (pardon me if dumb)...

Can I keep gum in my apartment or will it attract the vermin? Right now it's in my freezer because if I see a rat I will freak the f out.

Am I being overly cautious?
 
toothpaste, cooking oils, insulation, a variety of things attract rodentia.
i had an internship north of nyc years ago, rented a shitty flat...could hear the rats in the walls at night.
one morning i was taking a morning duece when a rat ran between my legs and under the bathroom door...later in the week i came home and opened my pantry and was face to face with a big gnarly rat eating my oatmeal.
the rat bugged, i bugged, and was in a hotel for the rest of the week before finding a new place, fuct

i hadn't either, and the rats i saw were big gnarly norweigan rats (had to study up on them after this shit).
i'm terrified of the suckers, saw them quite a bit in chicago too...they seem to plague the eastern seaboard, even high end buildings i've heard get infested with them

That shit is funky nasty. I don't know how you slept at night hearing them crawling around in the walls.

it was hard bro, esp coming from a pampered lifestyle, i was right outta high school or so...the rat that was eating my oats was close enough that he coulda jumped at my face easy, i screamed like pudds at old country buffet when they run outta the apple crisp shit

Buahahahahaha...
 
I have no issues at my place, but I am right on the east river.
As you walk along the river you never know what can pop up, that is NYC.
Come to the subway here sometime Mitch. (during the summer)
 
I'm actually not in NYC right now. Far different world up in the Catskills.

So you can experience the wildlife.
I like the Subway, but in the summer it stays hot down there.
Lots of really big roaches and mice/rats running around.
I will check the figure for mice/rats in NYC.
There are more than people I think.
 
The lowest estimate for rats was 250,000 and the highest I saw was 100 million in NYC.
I've always lived by the water, when I have lived in NYC, there were always big rocks/boulders by the water and the Rats love to hang out there.
The first time you see one you freak out, after awhile you throw shit at them though.
 
I'd have killed them fuckin rats. I had one living in the garage here. I set a trap and late one night I heard the *SNAP*! Threw that fucker away. Replaced the wooden door he gnawed a little corner off to get in with an aluminum door and no more rats. Set out poison and traps and whatever. Kill em All.

They are everywhere. If my neighbors weren't lazy pigs it wouldn't be a problem.

I'm moving soon anyway. Sux tho when I want to cook something. If I'm letting it cool while I dry my hair I have to keep an eye on it. Usually I just put it in the oven.

Bino, how'd that rat get in your cabinet? Not saying I don't believe you but them Norwegian fckrs are tricky, huh?
 
Invest in an igloo type chest cooler for keeping your non perishables in. Place it up on something, ideally an upside down 5 gallon bucket so the rats can't climb up to it.

Your neighbors may be slobs but honestly, this is totally the landlords problem, especially when it comes to roaches. If the entire building isn't exterminated the roaches just move from location to location.

BTW, big difference between mice and rats. Mice have bodies (not tails) about 3 or 4 inches long (hamster sized, only skinnier) rats are a LOOOOT bigger, 8" bodies and up. Heck, I get mice periodically and I have six cats (granted, short life and not a very pleasant one for mousey victim but the little fools still make their way in ... can't for the life of me imagine what they're thinking).

Good luck, BTW, when you move you're going to have to be extra clean about packing. You take even ONE pregnant female roach with you and you're just carrying the whole problem to a new location, sorry. Moved under the same circumstances myself once. I packed everything I didn't need inside of clear garbage bags and let it sit as long as I could.

it was a walk in pantry and were the piping cut into the drywall they had gnawed their sonofabitching way thru.
norwegian rats are the big burly brownish rats and they came from norway on frieght.
they seem to love the eastern seaboard, full time rat patrol in nyc i'm sure lartinos and others can attest

wtf...if you don't watch your food they're brave enough to come jack it from you?

NYC rodents are so fcking disrespectful

They'll go for my plate if I'm not within arm's reach. And they put the milk back in the fridge when there's only a sip left. WTF?

As for the roaches, suffice it to say I now shower at the gym.
 
lol...smartass!

That reminds me of this one time when I was a lil kid at sea world and this fuckin' seagull comes and swoops in and takes a bite of my hamburger while i'm holding it.


I cried
 
When I was like 5 there was a rat in my garage, I freaked. My Dad, with no hesitation, stomped that bitch out, lol. Threw it in the ravine.

Then we got a couple cats. One indoor, one outdoor. Never saw any again.
