My Condo Association is leaving Mice Poison in the Hallway

Better yet, show up at the next condo association meeting. It's easier to ignore a letter than a person in a meeting. You can present the letter at the meeting.

The next condo will not be until October 2012 . We just have one a year. We had more when I first moved here. A lot of people are not happy with the way things are done here. One trustee moved out and everyone was really happy! No one like him except the manger who does not live here. He take care of proprieties all over the city .

Again, no one is forcing you to live there. Have you considered that maybe someone reported seeing mice in the main hallways so they placed poison where they were reported seen?


As suggested, instead of complaining here, you could be more proactive and take it to your condo association. The results may generally be better.

I just spoke to a neighbor and she told me the poison that was in her hallway was removed , so the health department did come here and agreed there should be no mice poison out in the open. If that was the case the trustees should had send us a letter telling us that would be leaving poison in the common hallway and made we keep kids away from it! You don't just put poison
out in the open and not warm people! When people treat their lawns they have little flags put up warning people to keep kids and pet off the grass! There was no warning posted anywhere in the hallway to let people bringing kids in be careful of the poison! It was right in front of our apartment doors!! Maybe you like having poison close to your home , I don't!

The neighbor I spoke to tonight has mice in her apartment , she lives in difference building than me. She is using poison traps under her kitchen sink. The mice must be coming in from the basement and climbing up a pipe.

One of the trustee had the landscapers take all the cuttings from trees and throw it on the ground not far from the buildings . Then we had our driveway worked on and the broken curbing was dumped on top of the trees cutting! I called the office and told them it was going attract rodents. He did not believe me. Then we had some dead brushes dumped on top of the broken up curbing! Now I see a cat sitting at site waiting for mice to come out of it! I have seen a mouse crawl out the pile of trash and Marty want to hunt around it! So we now have more mice than before , they love the new home my jackass trustee had build for them! The cat bring the dead mice and sometime lives one to her owner!! At least the trustee has moved out.
 
Tell her to get a cat or a terrier. Problem solved! Sounds like the neighborhood cats are enjoying the mice.:cool2:

Pets are not allowed here. Someone does have a cat for a pet here and I will never report them. The woman was worried I would , and my daughter saw a woman with a small dog. I think the by law should be fixed so people could have a cat or small dog .It would keep the mice away and it healthier than having poison everywhere. I wish the trustees had believed me when I told them putting all that yard trash out back was bring in mice! A cat is catching mice all the time next that to pile . I sometime find a dead mouse with teeth mark on it! Yuck!! I keep Marty away from them just in case it ate poison!

GROSS!! Traps would be better. A mouse could eat some poison and end up dying in a wall then that would a HELL of a mess to clean up!And cost the condo more money! People do not think around here! That had to smell like HELL having a dead rat in your home!! And talk about germs! I better stop or I will have nightmares!
 
Yes, I agree that small pets should be allowed. Limiting the size or number is ok.

I once had a skunk die under a trailer I was staying in. Woof

They should put out glue traps IMO
 
If your condo association does not allow pets, then why are there residents with pets?

First you said there wasn't a mouse problem, now you say there is because of this brush pile that your guy left out in the yard. So make up your mind. Which is it?

Sounds like there really is a problem, your condo association tried to remedy the problem the best they knew how.

Again, if parents are watching their children and pet owners are watching their pets there shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps they left the poison in the open so residents WOULD notice them.

Also, if you aren't going to abide by the condo association's covenant of NO PETS then perhaps you shouldn't be living there. There are other places where pets are allowed and even welcomed. If your so worried about your dog getting into this or that at your condo, then you know you have two viable options.

You want your condo association to do this and that for you, yet you won't even abide by THEIR rules.
 
She has Marty under the grounds that he is a "service dog," (a hearing dog for the deaf), although it sounds like his service-dog training, if any, is on the slim side.

I know Marty is not a trained 'hearing dog' .The trainers backed out on me after I got Marty! They did not tell me they whee too busy to help me before I got him!! I when to another trainer but I did not the way he trained dogs , he used forced on the dogs and a choke collar with the spikes on a dog when I when to see the class. There was no way I would let him do that to Marty when has
bronchitic . Marty still has a cough and get SOB easy.
 
I know, I know, you and Marty have been through a LOT! Poor little guy. You know I wish nothing but the best for him, and for you, and I hope you are able to find a better trainer. Or even train him yourself, but I realize that is tough to do.

But let's be fair, you have him under the exception for service dogs, and he has a long way to go before he really can do what a service dog should be doing. Now that his health problems seem to have been resolved, I hope you can move forward with appropriate training.
