Sara, just bribe a guy friend with a big old hamburger, or steak and have him pee around the house. (I'd say DIY, but it's a bit easier for a dude.)
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I would say to make it easy for the guy earn the hamburger or steak, prepay with a few beers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Girl pee doesn't work?

Maybe I think Erin is working on the theory that girls have more reluctance to pee out doors and that precise placement is a bit harder for girls.

Hah! I've already had one neighbor volunteer her husband (after I helped them load shelves up the stairs) but really, it is just the screamy factor. I don't think I can ask him to pee around the house, no matter how freaking green they are. Rats had a poop party around my empty trash, that does concern me. I'm gonna try the "make it stink to rats" first and go from there. Damnit.
Had a rustle in the leaves out front tonight as I was returning from the pool, which involved me lecturing suspect mice that they can live in my leaves, but my house=CERTAIN DEATH. I don't care what my neighbor's tenants think of me now.

Ok meara! I hope that`s how it works! This will be the first time I`ve flown out of Show Low, and the last time I flew tiny planes was before all the luggage brouhaha.
Yeah--usually as you're boarding the tiny plane there's a cart next to it that you put your baggage on, and then you wait next to it when you get off the plane (so it adds a few minutes) at your destination. And then you can get on the next plane and overhead-bin it.

I...read these as related. And kept re-reading, trying to understand how ita got from steak to girl pee. Was this another weird ita link? It took like, SIX readings to connect this to sara's rats.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Wouldn't cat pee (which is right there in the litter box) be most effective at shooing away the rats?

Yeah but harder to persuade cats to pee where you want them to.
