When the pest control guy says “most of the time mice will start to feel sick and go back to their home to die” what he really means is “they’re all gonna die in your walls and it’s gonna smell very bad and we certainly don’t take care of that part”

Had this issue in my first house. They did eventually find it but it was squirrels, not mice. Helped that it was a one story home with no interior insulation so it was easier to look down behind the drywall.

Just wait until the squirrel decomposes in your chimney and flies hatch and invade your home. Only after I let off several fog bombs in the house did I consider the obvious. Which worked well.

I replaced a showerhead a few months back. But, no, not a spigot.

What's your question? I just looked at a few videos and seems fairly straight-forward.

I replaced a couple of outdoor spigots last year. I did it by calling a plumber and paying with my credit card. I don't fuck with that kind of plumbing.

This one isn't that tricky, really. The only issue is whether the screws that are fastening the spigot are rusted or overly tight. Some WD40 would likely get you home.

You're just replacing the part, it's not that complicated.

My parents just replaced the siding on their house. The contractor found a flying squirrel that had bit into an electrical wire and fried it's self, luckily didn't set the house on fire.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

"Spigot" has so many near slurs in it I don't really feel comfortable typing it.

Yes, I need to build and replace one every time I sneak in a car wash against building rules.
