Be careful with the poisons--our Atlanta area mice really stunk when they died after poison.
We use glue traps and those little gray tilting boxes that automatically trap the mouse when they enter--about 1-1/2" square and about 3" long.

Maybe they'll use those "human wave attacks" that proved so successful during their last war: "Ranging in age from only nine to more than fifty, these eager but relatively untrained soldiers swept over minefields and fortifications to clear safe paths for the tanks."

For those that don't believe in quoting all the relevant materials:
"The Justice Department has secured three convictions in the case but hasn't accused any White House or national Republican officials of wrongdoing, nor made any allegations suggesting party officials outside New Hampshire were involved."

I still think it's principle. I'm willing to spend $5 to save $5 to avoid an overpriced store.
However, if I then thought of the time I'm wasting the stupidity factor might kick in!

The IRS says this :
"To be deductible, the tax must be imposed on you and must have been paid during your tax year."
So, it sounds like your mom has to take the deduction since she's the legal owner of the property. Having said that, I'd probably take a deduction if I paid it, following mikebw's model!

Pull and plug a nail hole. Use a needle-nosed pliers to pull the nail. I believe I've seen plug kits that say you don't need cement; I wouldn't use them--I always use the type with cement.

It's just getting light and the storm is heading toward Macon. Best wishes for all in the way of the storm.
