But rats are sacred in India, hard for the owners (Authentic Flavors of India) to kill them. Never cared much for Indian food…(watch until the end)….https://youtu.be/NG86jQZJ7z8?si=E9VrbZqZsgzN6-Dv
Swagat is good Indian food. Rodent infestations are taking a foothold everywhere…my pantry included. Cleanliness is not always the issue. They are searching for food and shelter. I use live traps to reintroduce them to their natural habitat.
Hopefully the Indian chef didn’t prep the food with his left hand.
Your ignorance is showing.
Swagat had the best Indian buffet back in the 1990s. A long table of different choices of food particularly South Indian style. Their South Indian buttered chicken with white sauce was wonderful and a treat since other restaurants only offered the Northern red sauce. They had a noodle dish that was so spicy it would take your head off.
The place was always packed at lunch. Then the parents retired and the son and his wife took over, raised the prices and when a typical Saturday noon would have been packed mostly empty. Very sad. Those were the days.
Indeed very difficult to keeps these furry roaches away these days. They don’t even clean up the floors for you unless you leave some tootsie roll pieces around. They also seem to get more used to the sonic devices that are supposed to keep them away (probably need to be replaced yearly). Taken them out to the wild may result in finding their way back. I just use the more modern mouse traps that do a good job of killing them. They were uninvited anyway.
Well what do they expect?
Did you ever try to housebreak a rat?
The same place where I watched an employee dip a used napkin in the used water glass to clea the table. Nope, nope and nope!
If a rat is found anywhere in my house and/or garage, all hell breaks loose. I will not stop to get rid of them. When I bought my house, at the end of major remodel I had a large trash can full of nothing but rat drops and plum pits. I removed all of the attic insulation, sealed all external openings, used wire mesh where vents were needed, removed all interior dry wall, treated all of the exposed wood with Boracare. I installed cameras in the crawl space and attic to monitor rodent activity and water and HVAC systems. 4 years after this work, video showed a rat in the attic. Turned out there was a space between roof and top-plate in an un-accessible area where it got in. I needed a new roof and had contractor seal up the area before roof install. besides the roof I did most of this work myself.
Rats and varmints can be outside but they are not welcome anywhere in my house and no-way near food.
Once you get rats, they’re never going away. I don’t eat Indian food and this could probably happen anywhere. Rats are a lot more cunning and resourceful than people give them a credit for. They will definitely be back.
And rats hold a grudge too. Watch the movie “Willard” You will see what I’m talking about.
