If you do use high pitch noise, please, please, please make sure it is entirely out of the human hearing range. I'm unfortunately one of those that can still hear the teen repellent noise among other high pitch sounds.<br>
<br>And yeah, every time I've been there I've seen various food or dirty dishes lying about. I'm sure a functional kitchen sink will help with some of that and perhaps an investment in more tupperware for storing of bread, chips, etc. Counters and tables need to be wiped down if there are crumbs as well (I spent a good 30-45min cleaning up the back counter after 5MoF last week).<br>

rats and their cousins like grains a lot.<br>
what about hanging rat-attractive food from<br>
the ceiling? i.e. some hooks in the ceiling with<br>
some kind of cord coming down to suspend baskets<br>
or some such.<br>
getting a second refridge seems a good idea.<br>
getting near-hermetically-sealed containers<br>
seems good, too (i'd put 'em in the baskets to<br>
reduce smell of the suspended stuff).<br>
