[Noisebridge-discuss] The rats are getting ballsy

[jim]

   standard bug approach is to seal all cracks. fill 
big ones with wooden plugs or shims, then fill them 
and the little ones with caulking compound. all cracks 
everywhere. watch out for electrical and plumbing 
fixtures and through-wall pipes: fill around them real 
good. Fill behind in-ceiling and in-wall lights, 
switches, and receptacles. 
   i like the idea of pouring some kind of poison in 
the cracks before ceiling--anybody got any extra mercury?
