Thereby hangs a tail

Interested to read recent posts on dissatisfaction with Massey. Here's why I recently ditched them.

While out in the garden I noticed a rat that had died trying to get up to the roof. At that moment Massey arrived to do quarterly pest control so I left him to it without saying anything.

Having "swept the exterior of the home for wasps and spiders" I asked him about the rat. He hadn't spotted it! There it is, bold as brass, in the underside of the roof which he, purportedly, had just swept.

How about that, a rat that was so depressed it committed suicide by hanging itself.

The notorious gatoroni mob is running amok and lynching defenseless rats, cats, little dogs and old bat's. (No humans were harmed in the making of this silliness.)

Whoa, what a crazy circumstance. Hard to understand how that rat got stuck, and shame on that worker for not dealing with it.

Two rats. The rodent and th Massy Guy who didn’t see it sweeping the area it was dangling from!

A perfectly RATional reason for ditching Massey.

Still billing me.
 
After I politely dismissed Massey after their contract they kept billing me. A second and third call to them and resultant agreement...they still keep biilling me! Delete..delete.

Willard, noooooo

Maybe they thought a dead rat wasn't a pest anymore .

I grew up near the Everglades, and was exposed to rats in my home, yard, school, etc. When a rat dies, it usually does so in a very isolated corner of a structure, or outside under leaves. I have never seen a rat hang itself. Are you sure this wasn't staged?
