David investigated and found a burnt out control panel to the water. The magical water tank man came out and discovered the culprit: ants combusted into flames! Yup...big red ants in search of a cool and wet dwelling place made a living chain to the panel and created an electrical combustion where they met their fiery demise. Why don't mice do this, too?
Speaking of mice, we keep finding the oddest critters. A tiny frog in the pool. A moth the size of the palm of my hand. A slug so large I decided he could be a pet. And lizards...big lizards...little lizards...lizards in the planter...lizards on the stucco wall. A lizard even decided to join David for lunch one day. But the oddest place of all we found a lizard was in our Yukon. To complicate things, we couldn't get him out because he ran inside the dash for refuge. Finally, after a week of us driving around with a lizard in the vehicle, he came out and got his tail stuck on the speaker.
I can handle the frogs, moths and slugs. I enjoy the birds, bats and owls. Even the lizards are growing on me. But the mice still instill a fear I can't explain.
Inspired by the ant electrocution, I've decided to buy my favorite "Rosenberg" mouse traps of electrical death. Micespionage!!!
