Bugging OUT

Apologies in advance - this is a gross post. But the reality of farm living is the critters that come with it. Surprisingly, we haven't really found any mice in the house, though there is evidence they have been here in the past. And we find evidence of them in the outbuildings. 

We did find a dead ground squirrel rotting on the basement steps,
A family of bats living in the attic,
A beehive in the other attic room,
Dozens of wasp nests,
And now the flies come. It's truly disgusting, and difficult for me to go up there. They're attracted to the scent of honey and it's difficult to neutralize.






My attempt at scrubbing the honey with soap and water.
