Okay, if anyone has aaany advice for a mouse/rat or mice/rats up in the ceiling/roof, I'm all ears! 🤣

Is there some method to LURE them out I wonder? I mean, I could somehow throw some sort of poisonous pellets up there, but if they die up there it'll smell up the place huh...

They seem to like it up there, which is bizarre, no water or food in there, but they are hangin round!

They are noisy buggers too!

Adopt a couple of cats who like to hunt, then turn them loose up there. This has worked for us. 😁

That is a great idea, some state government office did that a while back and it worked great for getting rid of mice. But if it is rats, you need a cat that is a ratter, not all cats are created equal when it comes to rats

D-CON® DISPOSABLE MOUSE BAIT STATION
I use these in our barns and shops. Easy and effective. Place them out of site and forget about them.
Occasionally a mouse may expire in a close enough location to smell while it decomposes ( a couple of days usually). Not great but it is a permanent solution.

Just to reiterate, the good thing about bait traps is that they take the poison back to their nest. If the nest is outside, great. If it's in your attic or crawlspace.......

This makes no sense to me
A bank that has branches in both Canada and America.
I can open an account in Canada, and access that account from any of their American branches.
But if I open an account in America, I can't access that account in any of the Canadian branches.

I must have gotten lost here. What Bank are you talking about?

I just spoke with a few Doctors here. They told me our state will likely be going back into full lockdown within a month.

Man, I'm really starting to hate people.

Folks don’t get vaccinated and then act surprised.

any bank with branches in both countries (USA & Canada)

Our area is already back into restrictions. If things keep going as-is, lockdown seems likely at some point.

I'm trying to think of how banking regulations would affect this kind of thing (I've worked with banks on both sides of the border, including a couple that operate on both sides). I can't think what would create this one-way restriction.

Probably because the bank was founded in Canada I guess? Or because the Americans said that all Canadians were a threat to American society so to prevent contact between America and Canada this rule was created? I don't know, just throwing wild guesses.

Thanks all for the micey advicey! Very helpful! Yeah trying to avoid them dying up there and smelling... will see what we do, or whether we just hope they leave eventually hehe

Thinking of you guys. Yeah our capital city is in full lockdown. Us regional areas were released as are doing good, but still alot of settings in places. Masks indoor and outdoor everywhere, and no visitors to home whatsoever. Home gatherings have been found to be a massive contributor and source of spread...

Our national cabinet have agreed upon that only until we get to 70 or 80% full vaccinated, lockdowns will still feature.

So far NYS is not even mentioning this, but they are talking about a mask mandate again. We were supposed to start back full time in the office in September, but I do not see that happening with the delta variant being present.

I can't figure it out

It is not the American side of the equation, its the Canadian that is causing the problem...so it would be the Canadians saying Americans were a threat to Canadian society....I blame Justin Trudeau

The restriction appears to be in the other direction, though. American accounts aren't accessible in Canada. I'm far less familiar with Canadian banking regulations, so there may be a restriction held over from past practices that explains this.

The biggest thing I can see-when creating an account, there may be different regulations for how the data gained is kept, with Canada being stricter. So to the American govt, they're fine with you accessing a canadian account because they know it's stricter/more secure. To the Canadian govt, they don't want banks taking that risk if they feel the American regulations aren't up to par. Outside of that...no clue.

A mismatch in data regulations does seem a likely explanation.
