Transformers Earthspark: Another Place, Another Prison

Star does indeed get his meeting with Hashtag he scored with his deal with Megatron. Although, as most things, it doesn't exactly go favorably. The chaos energy shit and his damn 10k layered trauma ratatouille is not exactly making things easy for anyone. I REALLY want these two to reconcile at some point, yet alas, this is certainly not that chapter-

Also--Bee was absolutely about to be baited into fighting Star at the end before Tag interrupts lmao

First Chapter: A Need For Read

Next Chapter: An Unwanted Sequel

Chapter 5: Perception

Starscream had rounded the perimeter of the cell approximately 175 times now. It was a respectable number to end on, so he decided to take a seat against the wall. Megatron was certainly taking his time in fulfilling his side of their deal. Perhaps he had decided to simply forgo upholding his word. That would be disappointing. Although admittedly unsurprising.

Starscream's wings perked at the sound of pedsteps through the corridor, but drooped when he recognized that it was his audials playing tricks on him again. 

“Ey what’s the plan commander? I’m dyin’ in ‘ere!” Swindle complained, and the noise made Starscream’s optic twitch red.

“I’m working on it!” He growled. 

“Starscream: Moping.” Soundwave commented just so helpfully as the stoic mech also sat on his aft in the cell across from him.

“I am not!” Starscream’s vocalizer betrayed him with a high pitched squeal, and he cleared his throat. “I do not need to entertain any of you glitches. Just because my processor insists on projecting you, does not make you worthy of my attention. Leave me be and jet yourselves back into space why don’t you.” Starscream waved a servo as if he could send them away with the gesture. 

It only partially worked, as Soundwave’s form found it pertinent to displace itself to a less casual moment in time. When Mandroid had been given free reign to select any one of them as lab rodents to be experimented upon. The blue mech’s servos and peds were tightly bound to leave him splayed out upon the ground for scrambling little human pests to defile his circuits. They hadn’t even severed his sensors for the operation. They’d just popped open panels and prodded around like maggots deconstructing a living corpse. 

Starscream’s frame locked up as his spark felt constricted in his chassis. His vents had stopped. He knew it wasn’t real. Perhaps he shouldn’t have angered the illusion. Now he was stuck rewatching the disgusting scene as samples of the mech’s frame were being sawed off barbarically, the internal wiring being strewn about, and those cursed injections of more than questionable substances. The array of equipment echoed dreadfully in his audials.

Suddenly, the world spazzed again, and one of the G.H.O.S.T agents hovered sinisterly in front of his cell. Staring. Scrutinizing him with an air of hunger on its faceless mask. Like a predacon reveling in the power it held over its prey. Savoring not just its victory over its victims, but sadistically devouring the gruesome process itself. The creature simply found joy in their suffering, and lingered in a promise for what Starscream knew had happened next.

Then, there was Skullcruncher. Starscream heard the croctobot shift in the cell beside him, and his helm was inadvertently drawn to face it. The frame he saw wasn’t right. The lighting wasn’t right. It was dim and hazy, but he vaguely identified Skullcruncher as he shambled towards the barrier separating them. The sturdy beast was painfully caught between his bot and alt modes. Plating bent, warped, and twisted in ways it should not have been able to manage. His faceplate distorted with shadow and melting metal so that his optics and dentas stuck out in an unnerving, unnatural manner. 

The raspy voice box of the creature spoke to him. It sounded like too many different vocalizers at once for him to discern.

“You deserve what has come to you, Starscream. It’s your fault. You didn’t help us. You only helped yourself. How could you?”

Starscream yelped and scrambled back until he hit the opposing corner. His wings vibrated, crimson lightning flickering between them, and he barely registered them scraping against the wall. 

“You did this.” 

The words dug into his audials and he slapped his servos over his receptors like it could save him. “No no, shut up.” Starscream hissed as he glared at his knees, then his vocalizer cracked a chuckle. “You’re not real! It’s not real!” He sang manically. “You can’t trick me. No no no no…”

“You’ll never escape, Starscream. You have no allies that would bother to help you.”

“Hehe-” His vents were cycling far too quickly to aid his addled processor as he muttered, “I’m not listening to you. I don’t have to listen to you. Leave me alone.”

“...Who are you talking to?”

Starscream shrieked and flung his helm backwards in surprise at the suddenly crisp, external sound that questioned him. His optics shot in its direction to see exactly the Terran he so desperately wanted to see. He excitedly sprung to his peds and spread out his servos earnestly.

“HASHTAG!” Starscream greeted perhaps a bit too loudly, then swiftly stepped closer before finding a bit of hesitation and slowing his approach. “I-it’s so good to see you–heh- how-h-how have you been?? After… well, uh–”

“After you stole the Emberstone, nearly killed everyone I care about, and forced Terratronus to start destroying Witwicky?” She finished snarkily with crossed arms and an angry look on her faceplate. 

“Yes… that. But we can put that whole debacle behind us! We each got a couple good jabs at the other– what’s a few bouts of blaster fire between friends, right?” He waved his servos around animatedly and his vocalizer was a bit too high pitched for his liking, but that was a silly concern.

“You’re crazy.” Hashtag stated decidedly with far too much contempt, and continued with bitterness bleeding through her tone, “I can’t believe I ever believed in you! How could you do that!? I see now that you are just– worse than Megatron ever could have been.”

Starscream’s wings flicked stiffly behind him and his widened optics glitched between their red and blue as he took a step back. He was horrified. At what exactly, he couldn’t decide. She hated him– She didn’t understand– She was wrong. His wings shifted up and down erratically to relieve even a fraction of the pent up energy clawing at his spark. His servos shook and his optics darted across different points of his surroundings, occasionally landing on Hashtag before looking away again.

“I- You-!” Starscream had lifted a digit with the intent of confronting the Terran’s accusation, encouraged by that damned chaotic crimson corrupting his vision. But did he really have the right to berate her? A parasite nagged at his impulses that he should crush her voice box for her impertinence. He should tell her just how foolish of a proclamation she had made. Give her a verbal assault equal to the one he’d given Megatron. How dare she turn on him like this.

Yet with his sparing glances at her faceplate, even with the assured determination she held herself with, he saw glimpses of fear in her stance. This deepened the pit in his tank. Was he scaring her somehow? That wasn’t what he wanted. How could he have those thoughts?! Perhaps she did have a right to be angry with him after all…

Starscream in-vented, then tried his best to smile and smooth his vocalizer. “Come now, Hashtag, let’s not be brash.” He chuckled halfheartedly. “I’m sure you don’t mean that! Believe me, it was never my intention to damage you or your terran siblings. All you really had to do was step aside while I– what I mean to say is– i-it wasn’t about you, I just-” Oh that sounded bad didn’t it?

Hashtag scoffed, “Not about me? Woooow, thanks. That totally makes what you did alright. Except it doesn’t. You know, you’re lucky we’ve kept Spitfire and Aftermath from coming in here to give you a piece of their mind! What about what you did to them, huh!? I don’t care if it wasn’t about me, you still hurt and endangered so many people for some stupid power buff!”

Starscream stared at her blankly for some time as her words loaded in his processor. They’ve kept Sprite and A.M. from coming here… that means the sparklings were moving! Of course they saw it fit to come back online as soon as he was out of the picture. He knew it.

Starscream’s grin widened at the revelation, “I KNEW IT!” He said so suddenly that Hashtag flinched in surprise and looked at him with that same strange expression Megatron had worn, paired with a dash of confusion at his proclamation. He straightened himself to regain what composure he could before tilting a servo to enlighten her. “See, I knew those two never required those Embershards to function! I was right! They were just playing a petty, silly little game to get back at me when we were trapped up there in the Titan. Did they just need whatever fuel you Terrans need? Did you somehow collect a higher dose of the chaos energy that I could not? Or did they simply arise after I departed?” He tilted his hip snarkily and crossed his arms. “If that is the case I will have quite the word with Sprite about her rather rude, meager communications she chose to send me instead of contributing.”

Hashtag’s intake hung open stupidly before her faceplate scrunched in bafflement. “...What?”

Starscream thought he had explained himself quite well. He rolled his optics and impatiently urged her to answer his query, “At what point did they decide to come online?”

“Decide?? You killed them! We were only able to bring them back with a crazy idea to toss them into the chaos cloud junk with the spear! Of course anime has never done me wrong and it totally worked– but they weren’t deciding to be dead! What’s wrong with you!?” Hashtag was throwing her servos around in some ill placed frustration as she spouted nonsense.

“They weren’t dead, they were in stasis from their regretable damages.” Starscream tried to clarify. He wasn’t crazy. He knew exactly what was going on.

“Dude you can’t be this delusional. What weird space rock did you eat up there?”

“I’m not delusional.” Starscream snapped with a flash of red in his optics before he reeled himself in again. “If they were permanently offline, then there would have been no possible way Sprite could have pinged my communicator!”

Hashtag blinked and shook her helm as she partially recognized what he’d said. “Sprite…? You mean Spitfire??” She actually looked fondly amused before she forcefully refocused herself, “No– ugh, c’mon man! That makes absolutely no sense. Maybe she was like, haunting you, or something–that would definitely make for some good cinema– but I’m pretty darn sure they were dead-dead for a while there. They looked very dead to me.”

Starscream threw his servos in the air, “Well maybe she was a good actor all along! I’m not crazy!! And I am most definitely not hearing things!!” His wings shuttered as the chaos energy pulled at his circuits. “Believe what you want if you enjoy being wrong–” Lightning shot through his frame and he shook his helm in a hopeless effort to stave the crimson from his optics– “You…You’re just a confused sparkling that doesn’t understand the nuances of the situation– STOP FRAGGING LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT OR I SWEAR I’LL DESTROY THIS PATHETIC BARRIER!” 

That slagger Bumblebee ran up from his post at the sector’s entrance to plant himself between Starscream and Hashtag defensively. “HEY! Cool it Screamer! Don’t make me cut your playdate short!”

The corrupted power of the Emberstone erupted from Starscream’s frame, causing that wretched shaking and haze in his optics. “BUT OUT BUG! This doesn’t concern you!” He growled with a stance rearing for a fight.

“I think it does, actually. Especially with whatever this is.” The bumbling bot whirled a servo in Starscream’s general direction rudely. 

“Oh REALLY?” He laughed darkly, “You honestly think you are of any use here?! You could never hope to stand against me, scout. Now step aside. Or do you wish to come in here and prove what little prowess you might possess?”

The bug scoffed, “I’m not going to fight you right now Starscream.”

“Coward.”

Before Bumblebee could respond, Hashtag frantically yelled: “STOP!!” Once she’d gained their attention she in-vented sharply and placed a servo on the bug’s shoulder plating. “Just- c’mon Bee, this was stupid… let’s just go.”

“WHAT? You- you can’t just leave–” Starscream stressed angrily. How dare she try to walk away from their conversation!

“You can’t tell me what to do!” She snapped at him before stomping away down the corridor. The bug stared at Starscream a moment longer before hopping away to catch up with Hashtag. 

Blue battled for control of his optics and his vents quickened, then he scrambled as close as he could towards them with an extended servo. “WAIT! Wait– please– w-we can- we can still talk about this- I’m sorry I– I didn’t mean it! Please Hashtag, I’m sorry if I scared you, don’t–don’t leave!”

She only spared him one last glance as she tightly hugged her frame, her faceplate full of hurt that he’d foolishly caused. Then the door closed.

“NO! No…no-” Starscream’s servo slowly lowered partway before balling into a fist, “UGH WHY DID I DO THAT?!” He slammed it against the barrier before slumping down to his knees pathetically with a whine. Then voiced Hashtag’s question in a whisper, “What is wrong with me…?”

Nothing about that had gone as it should have. 

Starscream had wanted to have a casual, friendly conversation where they could possibly reconcile. Where maybe he could’ve gotten her to understand, and forgive him. Perhaps even get her to pass a good word to the Autobots! But then he had to go and open his big fat glossia, and say literally all the wrong things. 

When had it devolved so horribly?? He hadn’t thought it was going that bad! Sure, It had often periodically become more confrontational than he had hoped, but he should have been prepared for that. He should have rehearsed his approach better. Why hadn’t he prepared? He’d had the time, hadn’t he?

Yet all he’d managed to do was frag things up more than they already were. Now how was he going to get out of here?! Jump one of the glitches if they decide to bring him energon…? That had too many ways to go awry, but it might be his only chance.

Or… Perhaps, he could get this Primus damned power that infected him to actually be useful…

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.

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.

Modern Solution for Humane Pest Control

Introduction:

Dealing with a mouse infestation can be a challenging and frustrating experience. However, traditional snap traps often come with ethical concerns and messy clean-ups. In this article, we introduce the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap, a modern and humane alternative that effectively captures and releases mice without causing harm. Discover how this innovative device offers a safe, eco-friendly, and efficient solution to keep your home free from unwanted rodents.

Understanding the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap:

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. Embrace the Flip 'n Slide Mouse Trap as a compassionate and eco-friendly tool to safeguard your living spaces while prioritizing the well-being of these small creatures.

[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.
