That’s a lot of ‘droppings’ in one location. I’ll stick with the doughnut without the sprinkles, thanks.
In the words of Charlie Brown, “Rats.”
Ummm that’s just plain nasty.
Glue trap. Obviously aware of the infestation.
Spend some of your millions on a pest control service.
You mean spend on a good and effective pest control? Something better than a glue trap?
NOJ-
How do you know it wasn’t a pest control
service that set out the traps?
Pest control companies do not use glue traps. Too barbaric.
Pest control companies will use snap traps and/or bait.
There are ways to rat proof your premises.
Trapping is the easy way out.
There, answered both of your questions.
No – not Lunardi’s!
At least it wasn’t the Walnut Creek branch.
I worked for Lundardi’s when I was younger and based on my personal experience I wouldn’t recommend shopping there for many reasons.
Lunardi’s….in Danville…with their prices…and volume of (we’ll-heeled) customers? Z E R O excuse for allowing this to occur.
I worked there for 2 years and most of the staff is clean and follows safety procedures, but it’s not shocking they didn’t pass.
My friends live by the store in Danville .Rats are all over that area . My friend had the wires in his car chewed up from rats. Also others have had the same problem with their cars, The city of Danville needs to do something . Its not just the store its the hole retail and residential area .
My friends live near the store and have had problems with rats for years. Many people in the residential area have had their cars damaged . As the Rats love chewing the car wires. It cost my friend over $1,000 for repairs twice now.. The city of Danville needs to do something to ease the rats in the retail and residential areas of Danville . I have even seen Rats during the day running around my friends home. The pest control companies have been out . Doesn’t seem to do much. Its out of control .
I miss Andronico’s. I thought it was better.
