Chapter 3: Unprofessional Medical Assistance

Em gets caught, Seth gets bit… a lot. Cracks are starting to form as Em comes to terms with the situation and Seth tries to be nice.

Heads up this chapter contains injuries, mild blood, and possible medical malpractice (Seth’s trying and Em is very, very small… and bitey)

Seth had begun to worry as he searched for the little person, he hadn’t seen any sign of them. In fact, he hadn’t even seen any of the other rodents in the cargo bay either.

 “God, I hope they didn’t use any rat poison,” He thought to himself as he slowly moved about the bay, hoping nobody was questioning how long he was taking.

He was about to give up when he heard a quiet snap followed by a not so quiet cry of pain. A pit immediately formed in his stomach as he turned to look at the source of the noise. There between the fallen boxes was the tiny person, a mouse trap pinning them down.

They started whimpering as he picked them up, Seth tried to calm them down as he limped over to a box.

“Hey there little buddy, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m not gonna hurt you,” he said softly as he placed the trap down on a box. He lifted the hammer of the trap and the tiny human scrambled back, he let them crawl off the trap before moving his hand behind them to stop them from falling off the crate.

Carefully he scooped the tiny person up, cupping his hands around them. He could he feel their heartbeat going a mile a minute as the shook in his hands.

“It’s okay, you’re safe, I’m just trying to help you,” He hushed as he tried to comfort the shaking form in his hands. He tried stroking them gently but quickly found that their back was still covered in the peanut butter that was used as bait.

Had they been trying to scrape some off to eat? They must be hungry; I should try and grab them some food on the way out. Seth thought to himself, “I-I’m gonna have to put you in my pocket for a bit, but I’ll take you out once we get back to my room, okay?” He whispered to the injured tiny before depositing them in one of his pockets.

Seth briskly hobbled over to the stairs. As he left the cargo bay, he made sure to pop into the breakroom to grab a bottle of water and a granola bar before leaving. He finished up his report to Dr. Hayden and suggested the tear in the fabric as transport damage and sent the report in. He didn’t want the doctor to ask him a million questions before leaving, as his leg was starting ache again and he could feel the tiny in his pocket starting to struggle more, causing him to gently hold them in place with his hand.

Finally, Seth made it back to his room where he immediately placed the tiny person on his desk before grabbing the first aid kit from the bathroom. In that time the tiny had backed up and was now hiding behind a pencil cup, a fearful scowl was etched across their face as they stared at him as he walked back to the desk.

Seth set the small bag down and the small person flinched away. Seth opened the bag and took out various things as the tiny looked on in suspicion. Seth reached out and gently nudged the small person towards him. They yelped in as Seth brought them closer, confident that he wouldn’t get hurt this time, that was until he was bitten by the small person. Now it was Seth’s turn to yelp as tiny teeth sunk into his finger.

“Ow!” he yelped causing the tiny person to flinch back. He terrible for scaring them as much as he was, “Look, I know you’re scared of me, but I just want to help you,” the scowl had returned to the tiny’s face as he spoke, “Y-you’re hurt, a-and I want to help you, but I can’t do that with if you keep attacking me. I just want to help you, please…” he finished, he was getting frustrated, but he knew better than to help them by force.

The small person looked from Seth, to their legs, to the first aid kit, then back to Seth. They gave him a suspicious look before scooting closer to Seth and rolling up their pant legs, revealing a pair of shin guards. They were thick and a yellowed white colour, but they had been stained red by blood, Seth wasn’t sure if it was theirs or not. The shin guards were badly damaged, presumably taking the brunt of the force from the trap.

“Could you remove those shin guards? I need to see how bad the damage is to your actual leg, please,”

The tiny drew their legs back and undid the shin guards, a soft crickling noise made Seth flinch a little. The tiny winced as they removed the shin guards, some pieces stuck to their legs as they did so, worrying Seth in the process. Once they were off Seth could see that while yes, the shin guards took the brunt of the force from the trap, the tinies legs were still pretty beaten up and bloody. Seth took a cotton swab from the kit and dabbed it in some peroxide and scooted towards the tiny.

“This is probably gonna sting,” Seth warned before he dabbed it on the tinies leg. The tiny hissed in pain as they pulled their leg back. Seth panicked and reached out to the tiny in an attempt to comfort them.

“Don’t touch me!” she hissed at him, recoiling from his attempted touch.

“Sorry!” Seth apologized “Here try and wipe it off,” he said offering her a dry cotton pad which she quickly snatched up.

The tiny wiped their legs off and inspected their wound, picking out bits of the shin guard from it. Once she was done, the tiny tentatively extended her legs out and let Seth wipe the other leg with some more peroxide. The tiny hissed in pain again but refrained from pulling their leg away.

Now that their injuries were clean, Seth was able to see that it wasn’t as bad as it had appeared. As he had suspected the shin guards had protected her legs from most of the damage, but the trap had still left some nasty cuts on their legs.

“Okay so, it looks a bit worse than it actually is, but I still want to put some bandages on them just to be safe,” he explained to her. Seth pulled out a roll of bandages and a pair of scissors, he considered using band-aids but decided not to, worrying that either him or the tiny would struggle to remove them.

The tiny tensed when she saw Seth pull out the scissors, but relaxed a little when he started measuring the bandages. He cut two lengthy strips of bandage from the roll and handed it to her.

“Here, you put them on. It’s clear you don’t like being touched, and I don’t want to make you anymore upset than you already are,” Seth explained as the tiny took the bandages and began wrapping her legs.

Seth watched the tiny as she wrapped her legs, now able to finally get a good look at them while they were occupied. She had had large roundish face with long tangled dark brown hair which matched the fur on her tail. She was rather plump and possessed rather long arms, all in all Seth thought she quite adorable when she wasn’t trying to bite or stab him.

As she wrapped her legs Seth cut her some tape to hold the bandages closed, she took the tape and placed it over the ends of the bandages before pulling her pantlegs down. The two sat in silence for a moment, neither saying a word. The silence was making Seth a bit uncomfortable so he spoke.

“Are you hungry?” the tiny looked away slightly “You probably are, there’s probably not a lot to eat down in the cargo bay,” He continued, opening the granola bar and breaking off a piece for his tiny guest. She eyed him and the food suspiciously before deciding that it was probably safe.

“It’s probably a little stale, I’ll try and find you something a bit more fresh tomorrow though,” he said as he took the water bottle and poured some of it into the lid.

Seth set the lid down next to her before he wheeled his chair over to his bed to grab something. Out of the corner of his eye Seth watched the tiny drink the water before breaking apart the granola chunk and eating some of the oats. She ate and drank rather quickly which concerned Seth. When was the last time she ate? He thought before wheeling back over to his desk.

“You dropped this the other day, I thought you’d probably want them back,” he said handing her the satchel he picked up the other day. The tiny immediately began checking her bag, pulling out various item and putting them back. She pulled out her knife and pulled it out of its sheath and checked it, the tiny made a face before putting it back in its sheath.

“Oh! And I found these in the covered cargo, I assume they also belong to you,” he added digging out the cloak and glider from his pocket.

She immediately snatched the cloak from his hands and wrapped it around herself, when she saw the glider the tiny slumped in defeat. Seth felt bad for her, clearly the glider was important and sticking it in his pocket certainly didn’t help.

“Sorry… about the glider, I-I assume it’s a glider. Uh… maybe I could help you fix it?” Seth stammered, the tiny just shot him a glare before going back to sulking. The two sat there in silence a bit more before the tiny yawned, Seth had to stop himself from cooing at her remembering that she’d probably bite him again if he did.

“Well, it’s getting late, we should probably get some sleep…” Seth yawned as he reached towards her.

Seth hesitated as the tiny curled up into a ball, she was shaking… Seth bit his lip and frowned a little. He felt bad for scaring her, he didn’t mean to but it was hard not to. He was ten maybe even a hundred times her size, how could she not be scared of him. Seth sighed softly before gently scooping her up in his hands and holding her close to his chest, even though it was only a few steps to his bed Seth walked slowly as to not frighten them too much.

He gently set his tiny guest down in the cubby just above his bed before turning back to get her things. Seth placed her things next to her before leaving to get his night clothes on. He took his glasses off and dug out the cleaning cloth from his glasses case and handed it to his tiny guest.

“Here, ship’s heading north it’s gonna get pretty cold at night,” Seth said, “I’ll try and find something warmer before we reach the Arctic Safezone,”

The tiny took the cleaning cloth from him and set up a small sleeping area in the back left corner of the cubby. She removed her cloak and laid it down to keep something between her and the cold metal of the cubby. The tiny hucked her bag into the corner and flopped down with her back to Seth and pulled the “blanket” over herself.

“Oh yeah, I’m Seth by the way, Seth Willems. Thought you’d probably want to know since we’ll be kinda stuck with each other for a bit,”

The tiny didn’t respond.

Seth frowned a little before rolling onto his side and pulling his own blanket over himself. Seth took a few deep breaths, still partially waiting for a response from his guest. A few minutes had past and Seth had rolled onto his back and was now staring up at his ceiling.

“I’m… I’m sorry, sorry for scaring you, sorry that you’re stuck here… you must be terrified. Part of me still doesn’t believe that this is even happening, like any moment now I’ll wake up and this will have been all a stress induced dream or something. I never meant to scare you it’s just… look, what I’m trying to say is that I want to help you, I just hope you’re willing to trust me…”

Em stared at the wall in silence, part of her was angry at herself for getting caught, another was scared beyond belief, but there was one more part of her that believed what this human, Seth, was telling her the truth. She wanted to believe that she could trust this human, but did she really have another option…

The human’s words sounded genuine. He had (mostly) respected her demand to not be touched, and when he had handled her, he had been surprisingly gentle. Maybe, just maybe she could trust this human…

-----------------------

Seth woke up the next morning and shut off his alarm. Putting on his glasses, Seth checked the cubby to make sure last night really wasn’t a dream. There in the corner of the cubby was a rather alarmed tiny… he never did get their name; he’d have to ask them later.

“Hey there little buddy, is everything alright? You look scared,” He asked concerned, they seemed pretty calm last night, what happened?

The tiny jumped at the sudden sound, she blinked a few times before responding, “Your alarm… I wasn’t expecting it,”

“Oh! I’m so sorry, I should have warned you… is there anything I can do to help you?” Seth apologized.

“I’m good, I just need to breath…” They replied, the fur on their tail began to lower.

“I’m gonna be leaving for my shift soon, I’ll leave the granola bar on the shelf for you in case you get hungry,” The tiny just stared at him before giving him a slight nod before curling back up under her makeshift blanket.

Seth placed the granola bar near his guest and got ready for the day ahead. His leg felt sore as he walked about his room, each step made him wince in pain. Seth took his painkillers and grabbed his PDA and left for the bridge for the morning meeting.

The morning meeting was fairly uneventful despite the Slayer’s unexpected visit the other day, Seth had though that maybe Dr. Hayden would be the one giving out but he wasn’t. In fact, the doctor didn’t really seem to care about what was going on in the meeting and seemed to be more focused on whatever was he seemed to be working on.

Seth was starting to wonder if he’d be place on bed rest as he hadn’t been given any duties yet, but as the rest of the group on the bridge dispersed on of the commanders motioned him over to Dr. Hayden.

“Hello Mr. Willems, I have been… reminded about your injury. Normally you’d be placed on bedrest until your injury has healed… However, I have a job for you. As you know the Slayer has been, less than cooperative with us. So, that is why you’ll be monitoring the Slayer’s position for the foreseeable future.” The doctor said, still focusing on screens in front of him. One of them containing a map of a city and a red dot labeled DM1-5, the dot was moving about the city before disappearing completely.

“Yes Sir,” Seth replied as the cyborg “sighed” in annoyance. Seth found himself stationed at a monitor close to Dr. Hayden on the top floor of the bridge. As he suspected DM1-5 was tracking ID for the Slayer, Seth also remembered reading that it was the artifact ID given to him when the UAC discovered his sarcophagus.

As for the Slayer himself he appeared to be clearing out a smaller gore nest in London. The red dot moved about the ruined city with great speed, though what exactly he was doing Seth wasn’t sure of. While the ARC could now track where the Slayer was, they couldn’t actually see what he was doing. Eventually Lunch time rolled around and it was time for Seth to take his break.

--------------------------

Back in Seth’s room Em was at a loss for things to do, she hadn’t brought anything to pass the time mostly because she would have never anticipated getting trapped on a boat… or getting kidnapped by a human. She could detail her maps, but that would only last as long as her pencil bit, she could also start that engraving project with her mask and use her knife, but that would dull her only means of defense. Out of all the things to come out of getting caught, boredom was the last thing Em was expecting.

Em pulled off another chunk of the granola bar and ate it, at least she wasn’t hungry. She briefly contemplated taking apart the bar and sorting the grains and other chunks of food but decided against it, too sticky, gods she hated the stickiness all over her. She still hadn’t cleaned the peanut butter off of her clothes yet, mostly because she hadn’t brought any extra and she didn’t trust the human enough to leave her in the bathroom to clean them, especially without her hook.

The longer she sat and thought about the situation the more upset and angrier she got. She was upset because she allowed this to happen to herself, and how there little to no hope of her escaping let alone getting home. Then there was the anger, the was angry at herself for not fighting harder, for dropping her bag, for even wanting to try and borrow from this gods damned boat. She was angry and had nothing to take her anger out on.

“Maybe I should bite that stupid human,” She muttered to herself, normally she’d wrestle with Nimbus whenever she got worked up, but once again Nimbus wasn’t here, she was probably back home, doing who knows what.

Em sighed, she felt tired, physically and emotionally, she lied down, stared at the wall, and waited for Seth to return.

The rest of Seth’s day was remarkably uneventful, about an hour after Seth returned from his lunch the Slayer just disappeared of the map. He was informed by one of his superiors and Dr. Hayden that it meant that the Slayer had returned to the Fortress to rest and that it was unlikely he’s return for few hours, but it was best to stay alert and continue to monitor, just in case. And continue he did, just staring at a map of earth, large patches of red signifying the remaining Hellgrowth.

Now that the invasion had ended it seemed that the Hellgrowth had ceased its spreading and in some places had even begun to decay. Seth wondered what was causing this sudden decay, was it the loss of connection to Hell, or was it because the Icon of Sin had been killed? He hoped a report would be filled out soon, he found these sorts of things interesting.

 “Hey!” He thought, maybe he could tell the tiny about the Hellgrowth, maybe having a conversation with her might get them to open up. Eventually Dinner rolled around and Seth left for the cafeteria. As he ate his food someone sat down across from Seth.

They were about average height and were fairly muscular, the person was wearing an off-duty uniform for the guards and soldiers aboard the carrier. they looked really happy to see him which confused Seth until they spoke.

“Hey buddy! How’s that leg of yours holding up?” It was Corporal Willhower, it took Seth a second to recognize the man without his armour.

“Oh! Hello Corporal Willhower, I didn’t recognize you for a second. The leg’s holding up pretty well, it’s starting to get a little stiff and walking around makes it sore… but other than that it’s good,” Seth replied, slightly surprised that the Corporal had looked for him today.

“That’s good to hear, oh and you can call me Asher by the way, no need to be formal off-duty,” Asher replied extending his hand out for a shake, of which Seth obliged to.

“Well in that case you can call me Seth,”

The two talked as they ate their dinners, Seth at some point when Willhower wasn’t looking wrapped a part of his “meatloaf” in a napkin and shoved it into his pocket for his little guest. Eventually dinner was eaten and the two went their separate ways for the night. On the way to his room, he took out the meatloaf out of his pocket so he wouldn’t smush it. Seth entered his room and sat on his bed.

“Hey little buddy, I brought you something other than granola,” he softly said as he placed the food on the shelf, but the tiny didn’t react. “Buddy?” he asked quietly, concern growing in his chest. Were they sick? Please be alive…

Seth nudged their small form, the tiny jolted before they bit him on the finger. Seth yelped and yanked his hand back, fear and confusion blanketing his face. The tiny looked furious, their entire body shaking. A small snarl was growing on their face as the fur on their tail stood on end, and in a shaky voice they spoke.

“I said, don’t touch me…”

Seth stared at her, struggling to find words. The tiny stared back, she looked to be on the brink of tears. She slowly continued to back herself into a corner, body still shaking. After what felt like an eternity of silence Seth finally found his voice.

“What’s you’re problem? Clearly something’s wrong, but apparently, you’d rather bite me than tell me what’s wrong?” His words came out a bit harsher than he had wanted and it caused the tiny to flinch. Seth sighed and rubbed his face.

“I-I’m sorry, it’s just…” he sighed again, “Look, I know you don’t like me and you don’t have to, but I’m trying my best to help you but I can’t if you don’t tell me what’s wrong. It’s late, I’m gonna get ready for bed, just… I’m sorry,”

Em sat there, trying to process everything that was happening. She felt bad for attacking Seth and she had worried he’d retaliate but he didn’t, sure he got upset but even then, he apologized. Seth opened the curtain and got into bed, though this time he placed his glasses next to him on the bed. Seth sighed again before turning to face the wall.

While the human drifted off to sleep Em investigated the napkin he had left her. It smelled meaty and warm, peeling off the napkin Em found a large chunk of meat. Em pulled off a piece of the meat chunk and ate it. It was good, Em ate another piece, and then another, she had eaten about five more handfuls before she stopped herself. Seth had given her this and she bit him for it, now she felt even worse for biting him. Em glanced over at Seth who was now fast asleep then back to the meat.

Em grabbed her bag and dug out her knife cut the remaining meat in half. She wrapped the two chunks the napkin which she had separated. Em took the half she’s been eating from and left it next to the granola bar, the other half she left near the case Seth kept his glasses in.

Em walked towards the edge of the shelf and sat down. She watched Seth for a moment, his body rising and falling as he breathed. Em sighed to herself and her tail twitched.

“I’m sorry, I-I’m just… I don’t know, I feel confused, and scared. You’ve been nothing but nice and it feels genuine, but I’m afraid it’s just a ruse, that any moment you’ll gust grab me and not stop squeezing until I stop moving.” She whispered, her voice shaking with fear. “I want to trust you but every single one of my instincts are screaming at me to run. I just want to go home, or to just wake up from this horrible nightmare, but I can’t, because it’s not.” Her voice began to crack and everything she had been keeping bottled up came pouring out.

Em hugged herself tightly as she curled up into herself and cried. She had been keeping everything bottled up over the past few days, trying to prove to herself that she was capable of surviving on her own. But it was too much, she was too overwhelmed by it all, and now it was all coming out.

A sudden feeling of warmth caused Em to jolt and Seth’s hand flinched back. Em looked up at Seth who looked at her with an apologetic look before gently picking her up. Em tensed up as she was brought towards the human, a small whimper forming in her chest.

“It’s okay, you’re okay,” Seth whispered as he tired to comfort the small shaking form in his hands. He had been unable to sleep after his outburst at the little person, he still felt horrible for scaring her. He thought maybe closing his eyes would’ve helped but it didn’t, that was when he heard he start talking.

She had gone on about how she was scared, how she wanted to trust him but that she was too afraid. When she had started crying Seth wanted to comfort her but he couldn’t find the words, he had ended up reaching out to try calm her down, not caring if she bit him. She had jumped when he touched her but that wasn’t what frightened him, it was how cold they felt.

Seth had given her an apologetic look before scooping her up, god she was freezing. Now Seth was sat in his bed trying his best to comfort the tiny crying person in his hand, quietly shushing them as he gently rubbed her back with the pad of his thumb.

Em struggled in his grasp but eventually the warmth of Seth’s hands felt so nice and she had begun to feel exhausted from all the crying, and gentle pressure of his hands felt grounding. Slowly Em gave into the weight of sleep and passed out, little did she know what effects this would have on Seth.

When Seth felt the tiny’s heartrate slow down he had started panicking, fearing that something had gone wrong that was until he looked down. Oh, she fell asleep…

He stared at the tiny sleeping form in his hands, his heart melting at the sight. He watched as she nuzzled into his chest, he tailed twitching slightly in her sleep. Man, he wished he knew her name hopefully she’d share it with him sometime soon, it was getting weird to keep calling her the tiny. Seth took a deep breath before he too drifted off to sleep.

When morning rolled around Seth was awoken to the feeling of something or someone struggling between his hands. At some point in the night, he had rolled over but his tiny guest was still gently held against his chest. Slowly he opened his hands the tiny scrambled out of them. They looked at him in confusion and alarm, trying to figure out how and why they had woken up in the hands of a human.

“It’s okay, you’re not in any danger. Last night you… you were having a hard time, I just wanted to help and then you fell asleep, I-I didn’t want to wake you…” Seth explained as he slowly sat up. His words seemed to put the tiny at a slight ease, the fur on her tail returning to its normal fluffiness.

“Oh… you heard…” She said softly as she clutched her tail. She seemed shocked that Seth had heard her despite what she had said being directed at him, or at least he though.

“We don’t have to talk about it if you’re not ready,” He offered.

“Okay, thank you,”

Seth laid his hand out and she looked at him confused for a moment; Seth was about to explain when the tiny tentatively stepped onto his hand and waited. Seth lifted his hand a little too quickly as the tiny dove for his thumb and held on for dear life. Once his hand stopped moving, she clambered off at lighting speeds, startling Seth.

“Ah, uh… sorry about that, I’ll try and move slower next time,” He apologized as the tiny smoothed down the fur on her tail.

“Try and cup your hands a little next time to, makes it harder to fall off,” she said as she sat down on her cloak turned bedding, still fidgeting with her tail.

“I’m gonna get dressed, I’ll see if I can find or think up something for you to do. Must be pretty dull just sitting here all the time.” Seth mused before closing the curtain and getting dressed.

Em sat there and pondered what the human had said, should she bring up her ideas? Or would it be better to just go with whatever he comes up with. It wasn’t long before the curtains opened again and Seth sat down on the edge of the bed and faced her.

“I’m leaving for the morning meeting, I’ll try and see if I can stop in during my break but no promises,” he said pouring some water into a small paper cup he found in the bathroom cabinet, before getting up to leave.

“Wait,”

Seth paused as he heard the tiny call out. Em took a deep breath to compose herself before continuing.

“Em… my name is Em,”

“Oh, uhh… thank you, it’s uh… nice to meet you Em,” Seth said, fumbling with his words, he honestly had thought she’d never tell him, but she had.

Seth quickly left for the meeting with a warm smile on his face, he was making progress, she was starting to trust him. Maybe, with enough patience, the two could become friends.

Cats are really only good for rodent control inside of a house, as a potential bonus. Even then, carefully placed snap traps are probably more likely to work than any random cat. Carefully placed meaning the pet cant access it.

Cats are good rodent control in the house in the sense that rodents smell them and don’t particularly fancy burrowing through walls into the main portion of your home knowing it smells like cat. Rodents infected with toxoplasmosis still will though and that can become an issue as you welcome a parasite into your life, would definitely recommend using ppe cleaning the litter box if you see your cat catch a rodent.

But yes, snap traps in the attic, basement, and crawl spaces are a real win. You can actually fit snap traps in those black bait boxes to avoid the issue of risking pets getting hurt if you prefer.

Sigh. Another au brain worm.

Pokemon.

Box legendaries are Ultimo and Vice based. A Milieu based legendary would fill the trio a la Rayquaza/Zygarde/Giratina.

Mythicals could be Fussa and Rage exclusive pokemon to the Vice version and then Musashi and Regula in the Ultimo version.

Paresse/Mizho and Sayama/Regula being DLC/Special event Pokemon. Like you have to unlock a special path on a mountain to get to Paresse and Mizho, and get a special key to a temple to get the other two.

The other douji could be key pokemon, like Avaro could be your Route One rodent or Pikachu clone, Desir could be the obligatory furry bait, maybe pseudo legendary Slow and Akitsu.

Idk.

And obviously this is ignoring like. Trainers.

[ssaalexblake]

The trap the gorn laid for them in this episode is Kind of like the one where you prop up a box on a stick and bait a rodent in with a hunk of cheese.

Like, i'd not want to admit to falling for that one. Embarrassing.

The Flip n Slide Mouse Trap is a cleverly designed device that provides a humane and efficient way to catch mice. It consists of a sturdy plastic box with an entry ramp, a sliding mechanism, and a transparent lid. The trap operates on a simple principle: when a mouse enters the trap, its weight triggers the sliding mechanism, which closes off the entry point, preventing escape. The transparent lid allows you to monitor the trap's activity easily. Once captured, the mouse can be safely released outdoors, away from your home, ensuring a humane approach to pest control.

Advantages of the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap:

Humane: The Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap offers a compassionate solution, allowing you to catch and release mice without causing harm or unnecessary suffering.

Easy to Use: Unlike traditional snap traps, the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap requires no complex setting or baiting. Simply place it along common mouse pathways, and the trap is ready to go.

Clean and Hygienic: With no snap mechanism or messy springs, the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap eliminates the need for handling dead rodents directly. This makes the trap easy to clean and maintain, promoting a hygienic approach to pest control.

Reusable and Eco-Friendly: The durable plastic construction of the trap ensures it can be used multiple times, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly option. It reduces the need for disposable traps and minimizes environmental impact.

Tips for Effective Use:

Strategic Placement: Identify areas with mouse activity, such as along walls or near potential entry points. Place the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap along these pathways for optimal results.

Baiting: Although not essential, using a small amount of mouse-friendly bait, such as peanut butter or a few seeds, near the entrance can increase the trap's effectiveness.

Regular Monitoring: Check the trap regularly to ensure timely release of captured mice. Remember, the goal is to provide a humane solution, so promptly release the mice in a suitable outdoor location.

Prevention Measures: While the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap helps in capturing existing mice, it's essential to address potential entry points and eliminate attractants in your home to prevent future infestations. Seal cracks, secure food sources, and maintain cleanliness to reduce the likelihood of mice returning.

Conclusion:

The Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap offers a modern and humane approach to mouse control, allowing you to address infestations effectively without resorting to harmful methods. With its easy-to-use design, cleanliness, and reusability, this innovative trap provides a reliable solution for maintaining a pest-free home.

[Image Description: A poster, titled, “Looking for a fun & free activity this summer?,” below which is a photo of a Tomcat Rodent Station, captioned, “Give DESTROYING THESE STUPID-ASS BAIT BOXES A TRY!” Below this are three paragraphs, reading as follows:

You might see these boxes around commercial buildings, apartments or occasionally private residences. Most people don’t want rats or mice in their buildings - so what’s the big deal?

Placing poison bait outside means you’re incapable of targeting a specific species. If you place bait boxes outside, you run the risk of poisoning outdoor friends like native mice, voles, and chipmunks. Additionally, animals don’t die immediately after ingesting rat poison - meaning that predators like hawks frequently suffer from rodenticide poisoning, along with unlucky domestic pets like dogs and cats.

If you have a rat or mouse problem, please handle it responsibly, and don’t put your native wildlife at risk.]

Reminder to please, please, please skip outdoor rodenticide when handling rodent infestations.

Eco-Friendly Pest Control Methods for Kuala Lumpur Residents

Kuala Lumpur, a bustling metropolis with a tropical climate, is no stranger to pest problems. From ants and cockroaches to rats and mosquitoes, these unwelcome guests often find their way into homes and businesses. While conventional pest control methods may work, they often come with environmental and health concerns due to the use of toxic chemicals. Fortunately, eco-friendly pest control methods are gaining traction among environmentally conscious residents. Here’s a guide to natural and sustainable solutions that keep pests at bay while preserving Kuala Lumpur’s rich biodiversity.

The Importance of Eco-Friendly Pest Control

Conventional pest control relies heavily on synthetic chemicals, which can pollute the environment, harm non-target species, and pose health risks to humans and pets. Eco-friendly pest control prioritizes safety, sustainability, and environmental health. These methods use natural ingredients, biological controls, and preventative measures, making them a better choice for Kuala Lumpur's urban and suburban areas.

Switching to green alternatives not only protects your home but also contributes to the global effort to reduce ecological damage caused by harmful pesticides.

Effective Eco-Friendly Pest Control Methods

1. Prevention is Better Than Cure

One of the best ways to manage pests is to prevent infestations in the first place. Regularly cleaning your living space, sealing cracks and crevices, and properly storing food are simple yet effective measures. Ensure that garbage is disposed of promptly and bins are tightly sealed to avoid attracting pests.

For Kuala Lumpur residents, where humidity can accelerate decay and attract insects, using dehumidifiers or proper ventilation in damp areas can also reduce pest activity.

2. Natural Repellents

Several natural substances are excellent pest deterrents. Here are a few options:

Essential Oils: Scents like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citronella are effective against ants, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. Mix a few drops with water and spray in areas prone to pest activity.

Garlic and Chili Spray: This potent combination deters many pests, including ants and aphids. Simply blend garlic and chili with water, strain, and spray on problem areas.

Vinegar Solution: Ants and cockroaches dislike the smell of vinegar. Wipe down counters and other surfaces with a mixture of vinegar and water to keep them away.

3. Biological Pest Control

Biological methods involve using natural predators or organisms to control pests. For instance:

Beneficial Insects: Ladybugs and lacewings can be introduced to gardens to feed on aphids and other harmful pests.

Bats: Installing bat boxes in your yard can help control mosquito populations, as bats are voracious insect eaters.

Nematodes: These microscopic worms can be used to combat soil-dwelling pests like termites and grubs.

This approach is particularly effective for Kuala Lumpur’s urban gardens and green spaces, which are prone to pest infestations.

4. Eco-Friendly Traps

For rodents and insects, eco-friendly traps are a humane and effective solution. Use bait traps made from natural or non-toxic materials to catch and release pests without causing harm. Sticky traps, pheromone traps, and DIY solutions like sugar and soap water for flies are affordable and easy to implement.

5. Composting Wisely

Improper composting can attract pests like flies, rats, and cockroaches. Kuala Lumpur’s residents who are into urban gardening can adopt proper composting techniques by balancing green (food scraps) and brown (dry leaves) materials, and keeping compost bins securely covered to deter pests.

Eco-Friendly Pest Control for Specific Kuala Lumpur Pests

Mosquitoes

With Kuala Lumpur’s tropical climate, mosquitoes are a persistent nuisance and a health hazard due to diseases like dengue fever. Eco-friendly methods to control mosquitoes include:

Eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.

Growing mosquito-repellent plants like lemongrass and marigolds.

Using natural repellents like citronella candles and neem oil.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches thrive in warm, damp environments. To keep them out:

Use diatomaceous earth, a natural powder that dehydrates and kills them.

Place bay leaves or cucumber slices in areas prone to cockroach activity, as they dislike these scents.

Regularly clean drains and kitchens, where food debris can attract them.

Termites

Termites are a common problem in Kuala Lumpur’s wooden structures. Non-toxic ways to combat termites include:

Using orange oil, which is lethal to termites.

Applying boric acid to affected areas.

Installing physical termite barriers during construction to prevent infestations.

Ants

Ants are notorious for invading kitchens and food storage areas. Natural solutions include:

Drawing chalk lines around entry points, as ants won’t cross them.

Sprinkling cinnamon or coffee grounds in areas where ants are active.

Cleaning surfaces with lemon juice to disrupt their scent trails.

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Pest Control

1. Healthier Living Environment

By eliminating the use of harmful chemicals, eco-friendly pest control ensures a safer space for your family, pets, and plants. This is especially important in dense urban areas like Kuala Lumpur, where exposure to toxins can have long-term health impacts.

2. Preserving Biodiversity

Natural methods protect beneficial species like bees, butterflies, and birds, which are crucial for the ecosystem. Chemical-free practices support Kuala Lumpur’s urban greenery and local wildlife.

3. Cost-Effective Solutions

Many eco-friendly methods, such as DIY repellents and traps, are inexpensive and easy to implement. This makes them a practical choice for households on a budget.

Choosing an Eco-Friendly Pest Control Service in Kuala Lumpur

If you prefer professional help, look for pest control companies in Kuala Lumpur that specialize in eco-friendly methods. They use organic pesticides, integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, and sustainable practices to effectively tackle pest problems.

Embracing Green Practices for a Better Future

Adopting eco-friendly pest control methods is a step towards a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. For Kuala Lumpur residents, these practices align with efforts to balance urban living with environmental preservation. By making small changes in how we manage pests, we can create a cleaner, greener city for generations to come.

Effective Means of Pest Control: Mouse Trap Stations and Rodent Bait Boxes

A pest-free environment, whether indoors or in commercial settings, is of paramount importance to health and property. Among the more reliable pest control methods is the use of bait stations specific to rodents and insects. VMProducts.com offers some of the best pest control equipment found anywhere, including mouse trap stations, insect bait stations, bait boxes for rodents, and outside rat bait stations designed for maximum efficiency and safety.

Mouse Trap Stations: An Effective yet Safe Answer- A mouse trap station is an efficient and concentrated approach to dealing with a mouse infestation. The trap stations ensure that traps are safely confined and accidental contact with children and pets does not occur, although mice are trapped safely and humanely exterminated. Mouse trap stations of VM Products are designed both for residential and commercial use with great control solutions against rodents without any possibility of damage that might unintentionally affect them.

Control Targeted Pest Insects with Bait Stations Insects are as damaging and pesky as rodents. Insect bait stations attract and kill a good deal of insect pests, from ants to cockroaches and more. The insects come into an enclosed box, devour the bait, and carry it away to share with the rest of the colony, all leading to multiple pest control. Our insect bait stations are strong and dependable, thus perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

Rodent Bait Boxes: Diversity and Safety - Although it is a fact that rodents, such as rats and mice, can cause serious health problems because they transmit disease, they also damage buildings. Rodent bait boxes can aid in dealing with such small rodents. These boxes hold the baits in a secure enclosure so that only the target pests can get exposed to the poison or the inside of the trap. Tamper-resistant bait boxes are offered by our firm. These are risk-free for homes that have pets or children but are effective for controlling rodent populations.

Outdoor Rat Bait Stations: Durable and Weather Resistant - If it is rodents you have outdoors, an outdoor rat bait station can never be replaced. They are designed to be used directly outdoors, ensuring full rodent control against those pesky rats in gardens, sheds, and other outdoor areas. Our outdoor rat bait stations provide long-lasting weathering solutions to ensure effective pest control whatever your environment is.

We understand how important pest control can be at VMProducts.com. Our emphasis is on the safety and dependability of our products, including mouse trap stations, insect bait stations, rodent bait boxes, and outdoor rat bait stations, to allow you to be proactive with every pest problem. Fight those pesky mice inside your home, or have a ready solution for dealing with rats outside.

Discover our entire spectrum of pest control services today and start your route to a pest-free world!

Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) are evil. They only exist because some rats developed resistance to other poisons. They should only be used when rats are a problem after food containment, barriers, traps, and lesser poisons have failed. Even then, they should be in secure and carefully situated bait boxes. After multiple years, it seems like someone finally identified the pest-control contractor who was abusing SGARs in my neighborhood, and the local ecosystem is slowly recovering, but I still think that lazy shit should be banned from the business forever. They should also pay reparations to the people who lost their outdoor pets (at least two that I know of) from consuming tainted rodent corpses.

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.

august 8: a rodent enters our home. I hear it in the big bag of dried tofu. I also swear it touched my foot but I can't prove this.

august 9: We see that it chewed through the plastic bag of dried tofu in the box. I tell my boyfriend yes he has to throw it out. because a rodent was in it.

august 10: We see and hear no evidence of the rodent. Baited mousetraps remain untriggered.

intervening weeks, time unknown: my houseplant looks like something dug through it, and there is a hole chewed through the kitchen window next to it. i don't know if these things happened before or after the rodent entered. i like to believe they happened after, and that this is evidence of the rodent exiting.

september 7: I discover a chewed empty pistachio bag on the floor of my boyfriend's closet in our bedroom; I discover shit in a corner of our second living room - this proves that the rodent not only was not confined to the kitchen but that its disgusting rodent germs were inside my bedroom, where I sleep and am generally believed to be safe from harm

september 11: I discover shit on the pull-out portion of our pull-out couch and behind the couch - further proving the rodent's range

basically what I'm saying is I'm in a bit of a personal hell right now where there could be rat shit hidden anywhere in my disgusting messy house and a rat could have had its horrible nasty paws on everything I also touch and everything is disgusting and awful. basically.
