Ways Rats Can Cause A Threat To Your Home

Rodents and rats come with various risks and health hassles. They can spread dirt, diseases and many other concerns that no homeowner would like to deal with. Further, they can cause damage to the home or household stuff as well. 

They can cause structural damage to homes, apartments, commercial space through various activities like gnawing, defecation, and nest-building. So, let us talk in detail about how the rats can cause a threat to your home and how hiring the services of rodent control in San Francisco can save yourself from rodents or mites. 

1. Structural Damage

You will not be surprised knowing that rodents are known to be very destructive. They gnaw on wooden stuff, make large holes in floorboards, walls, and more. They further make nests under the woodpiles, building foundations, inside cabinets, ceilings, and more. They are small in size so they can enter through any tiny holes or cracks in the foundation or the home walls. So, saving your home structure and other stuff is only possible by employing the services of pest control every 3-6 months. You can also make some efforts to fill those holes with proper materials. 

2. Health Concerns

Obviously, rodents transmit diseases to humans in several ways. Their biting or scratching on the body transmit the diseases. Their urine and droppings anywhere in the home can also give rise to various health diseases you might be unaware of. Further, if the rats contaminate the food or water then also you are prone to some common diseases like the black plague, Salmonellae, and more. 

3. Contaminates Food

No matter your food is fully packed or is stored inside the refrigerator or somewhere else, a rat can gnaw on the plastic containers, other kitchen appliances which increase the risks of impurities and bacteria to accumulate.  

All these things do not depict that you only need to get rid of such a hassle but you also have to save yourself from future infestations. So, if you are also having rats in your home then you can visit us at SF RODENT CONTROL where our mission is only to make every home rodent-free without making use of any harmful or toxic chemicals.

Ten Plagues of California Are Turning The Golden State into a Third-World Hell Hole PJ Media ^ | 06/04/2019 | Stephen Green

In your typical Third-World megalopolis, basic city functions fall into disrepair, while once-eradicated diseases run rampant -- and the local bigwig boasts about saving the world.

Los Angeles is quickly becoming a typical Third-World megalopolis, and the rest of the state isn't far behind.

Yesterday the New York Post reported "rats running everywhere among piles of decaying garbage," in a "sprawling 50-block area that is believed to be the base for around 4,200 homeless people."

Local columnist Steve Lopez called his city a "giant trash receptacle" and asked, "Did someone turn back the calendar a few hundred years?” No, Steve, the city government turned hard left is all. Although debate fans might note that that's a distinction without a difference.

So where did all that trash come from? Los Angelenos are dumping it out in the streets -- and the city isn't collecting it. Two weeks ago Fox News reported that the problem goes back at least to last October, when the city noticed nine cases of typhus. The city "cleaned up some of the worst piles of garbage," but then they slacked right back off. The huge pile returned quickly, but officials at first said that it "could take up to 90 days before it's cleaned up." The same local news report described it this way:

Even the city's most notorious trash pile, located between downtown LA's busy Fashion and Produce districts, continues to be a magnet for rats after it was cleaned up months ago. The rodents can carry typhus-infected fleas, which can spread the disease to humans through bacteria rubbed into the eyes or cuts and scrapes on the skin, resulting in severe flu-like symptoms. The story also noted that an "out-of-control rat population can even lead to the spread of dangerous strains of salmonella and bubonic plague."

Yuck.

City services are so strained that it now appears to be playing whack-a-mole with garbage dumpers. As I began writing this piece, a new Fox News report popped up in my MSN feed, complete with video you might not want to watch during lunch.

Statewide, California's problems aren't limited to trash dumpers, the homeless, rat infestations, and infectious disease... as if that weren't already too much Third World fun in the once-Golden State. Stories about San Francisco's Human Poop Hurdle Olympics are now de rigueur, and you'd better watch where you stick the landing or a used syringe might stick you.

Elsewhere, rolling blackouts are about to become not only normal, but celebrated.

The editors of the Los Angeles Times opined last week that in order "to prevent wildfires, California may need to endure power blackouts." The editorial goes on:

De-energization, as it is called, has always been a tool for utilities to use when the risk of wildfire is high, though it has been infrequently deployed. But after two horrible years of catastrophic wildfires ignited by downed power lines, regulators are poised to give utilities the authority to shut off power more aggressively during high fire season. The change will primarily affect people in high-fire-risk zones, such as mountains, forests and foothills, but the resulting outages may affect anyone on the grid, including coastal urbanites if utilities power down high-voltage transmission lines. "De-energization" is one of those euphemisms Ayn Rand might have had economic dictator Wesley Mouch employ in the last third of Atlas Shrugged. And just like in the famous novel, California's descent into the Third World is entirely self-inflicted. The New York Times noted last year:

It’s counterintuitive, but the United States’ history of suppressing wildfires has actually made present-day wildfires worse. “For the last century we fought fire, and we did pretty well at it across all of the Western United States,” Dr. Williams said. “And every time we fought a fire successfully, that means that a bunch of stuff that would have burned didn’t burn. And so over the last hundred years we’ve had an accumulation of plants in a lot of areas.

“And so in a lot of California now when fires start, those fires are burning through places that have a lot more plants to burn than they would have if we had been allowing fires to burn for the last hundred years.”

In other words, downed power lines do cause wildfires, but mostly because there's so much flammable brush that the state government refuses to clear in one way or another. And rather than clean it up -- sound much like the trash situation? -- California is going to deny electricity to some of its poorest inland residents during the hottest time of the year.

Because caring, or whatevs.

Blackouts, typhus, poop, an army of homeless, wildfires, contaminated syringes, garbage, rats, fleas, and Progressive government -- these are the Plages of California. I'd ask the last person to leave California to please turn off the lights, but they'll have gone dark long ago.

OPINION:  The Democrats in Congress don’t care as long as where they live is picture perfect.  You would think that the Democrats would call California poorest inland residents during the hottest time of the year ‘Immoral’ because they (Democrats) have not helped the situation in over a decade.

So, where are these ‘big mouth’ Democrats that call ‘Building A Safety Wall’ is ‘Immoral’ in this country.  Ask them to explain California poorest Inland residents! What do they call that?

If not, tell them to shut up and go pass some real legislation or resign from Congress so some real Americans that care about this country can make a ‘real’ difference’ in our (American Citizens) Congress.

Make-up Artist and Prosthesis Technician, Leo Lotito, the head of the TBS Studios Make-up Department, where V’s filmed for Warner Bros. Television. With over 40 years of experience in his craft, Lotito considers himself one of the more fortunate. He apprenticed his beginning years under the tutelage of Ernie Westmore, one of the famous legion of Westmore Brothers, Hollywood make-up pioneers.

Leo first became involved in the makeup business when, by chance, he showed Westmore some of his drawings and sketches. Lotito, at first, entertained the thought of becoming an actor while recuperating from injuries suffered in World War II. Upon entering the theatrical world he soon became disenchanted and turned to film editing. But that lasted only several weeks.

While working as an apprentice cutter he realized that wasn’t his game either. He then turned to sketching and drawing. One day, Ernie Westmore walked in to where Lotito was working, glanced over his shoulder and liked what he saw. Westmore felt that Lotito had promise and took him under his wing.

“It was a great experience,” Leo explained. “I did everything. I worked with old mortician’s wax, learned how to blend materials, balance formulas and come up with the proper color and texture. I learned how to mold and shape latex masks. It was an apprenticeship of the finest sense. Too bad producers gave up those early apprenticeship programs. They would be smart to start them up again, you can learn so much.

“You know, today, Make-Up is not just simply applying flesh colored creams and mascara. Today you absolutely must know much more. You have to understand prosthetics, mechanics, formulas and a little magic doesn’t hurt either. It took us three weeks of experimenting and testing just to decide how we were going to approach some of the complex problems that V presented,” he said. The most difficult situation, Lotito felt, was designing the prosthesis and dummy heads. They had to look realistic when the scenes called for the alien’ characters to eat live rodents.

Lotito worked on the classic Planet Of The Apes films. There testing, retesting and endless hours of experimenting to achieve the right effect was a way of life. “Oh, babe, it was indeed a tough assignment, no bones about it,” he reminisces, “but I learned so much working with John Chambers.” Leo credits Chambers with creating everything spectacular on ‘Apes’. However, after two ‘Apes’ films, Lotito found it just too demanding and resigned from that assignment. Chambers, of course, continued, eventually winning an Academy Award for his accomplishments. “You know, on ‘Apes’, everything revolved around the make-up department. It was probably the only time a production actually worked around what we were doing, and that in itself was quite unique,” he states proudly.

Lab, When writer Ken Johnson first explored the possibilities of having his alien creatures be reptiles, a lot of research went into the project. Johnson didn’t want the standard and often used early science fiction concept of a prehistoric monster. Various zoological experts and scientists were brought in so that the design of the V reptiles would be as authentic as possible. Details such as the correct way the creatures’ mouths opened and closed while chewing, head movements, eyes blinking, how the skin rippled and expanded when they would turn or stretch were given close scrutiny. When Ken Johnson and Charles Davis, V’s production designer, were 100% sure of exactly what their aliens would look like, Lotito was approached with that concept.

Leo Lotito

Leo had read the script, sent to him earlier. He immediately knew that the effect Johnson was looking for would require a great deal of prosthesis work. Prosthesis involves the use of artificial limbs or other body parts.

“Prosthesis is a very tricky thing in make-up. If the application isn’t just so, it will look very phony and out of place. Hell, your audience will spot it in seconds. It also takes proper lighting and a perfect color match to work effectively, not an easy task by any means, “Lotito explains.

He feels that make-up is a team thing and definitely not just a one man show. While Lotito heads the TBS make-up department, he does not consider himself ‘a boss’. He feels he’s only as good as the men and women he works with and always strives for a team effort.

For V, Leo explained, it took five complete sculpture molds and endless hours of working with actors and experimenting. Only then did he and Werner Keppler, his very talented lab man, finally come up with a workable model for every face needed. From there, latex molds were cast and again tested on the actors to make sure everything fit exactly before it went on film. There was no room for error. Since realism was the key, applying the make-up for actual shooting became a laborious, painstaking process. Usually it took between two to two and one half hours in applying and nearly the same amount of time to remove.

On V, a make-up man was on the set every step of the way. Especially when the scene called for the actor’ to ‘break out of his human features and turn into the alien-lizard. Since the on-camera process could only be done once, the actors had to be extremely cautious. They were carefully coached and instructed on ‘ripping away’ the top mask of the human features, without destroying the underlying alien features below that. Professionalism on all levels paid off here. “Not one mistake was made, much to everyone’s relief,” Leo grinned.

“Make-up is very important to today’s films. Movie and television audiences are just too sophisticated. Everyone wants realism. Explosions, burns, gunshot wounds, aging. Years ago, if a script called for an actor to be shot or injured in a scene, well, most likely, the director would instruct the actor to let out a pained yell, clutch his side, or shoulder or whatever, fall down and feign unconsciousness. Then, of course, the audience would assume the worst and imagine the rest. Why, heck, today almost everything is subject to graphic detail. Blood, guts, gore and God knows what else. So, the make-up takes on a special significance. You have to give them what they want!” Lotito explained.

While make-up and graphic effects are done for pure shock effect in some films and programs, everything utilized in V was significant to the story. Particularly in those scenes where the alien characters are shown to be eating live guinea pigs, mice and parakeets. This, of course, gives the audience credible proof that these so called humans are not really quite so human after all.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The illusion of having actress Jane Badler eat a mouse was achieved by utilizing a latex life mask, molded in the actress’ image. The mask was then positioned over a hydraulic, mechanized head; life-like in every way, even down to the blinking of her eyes. Through a series of cut away shots and camera positions, it does appear that she actually swallows the rodent. Taking it one step further, Lotito and his company of experts created a neck appliance that was fastened from just below the actress’ chin on down to her breast bone. This specially designed appliance housed three separate air bladders and was operated by compressed air, which in turn was controlled by cables and wires carefully concealed off camera. When operated properly, it gave the illusion of something whole being swallowed. Jane’s fine acting aided the illusion and the audience believed she had just eaten alive rodent.

Rick Stratton was called upon by Leo Lotito, to work on the various makeup FX required for V: The Final Battle, the second of two pilots leading to this fall’s new SF series. “I was one of the first people hired for the show: Leo has a tendency to look out for me in that way, giving me first crack at things.

“Leo was the makeup coordinator, Wemer Keppler was the lab supervisor; any ideas we had went through him, for him to provide his very knowledgeable input, and to let everybody know just what was going to be done and by whom. The balance of the crew was myself, Terry Smith and Jeff Kennemore, all working in the same basic capacity; sculpting, molding and application of the prosthetics and so on.

“Werner Keppler really deserves the largest credit for the face-ripping sequences. which are really a follow-up on similar sequences he and his crew did on the first pilot. Werner did all the on-set application, and everybody had a hand in on the sculpture and molding, under his supervision. My design involvement was mostly for the lizard baby, and the human baby with the reptilian tongue.

“The guy who created the series originally wanted something like the first stage of Alien. I wasn’t too fond of that idea, so l went out and rented a whole bunch of videotapes- Alien, Eraserhead, Humanoids from the Deep-to show them different things that had been done with babies. That loosened things up a bit, and we were able to come up with a concept that was sufficiently hideous to please the director. I then did several clay sketches of the lizard baby: the director thought the eyes were too big on my first design–he thought it looked too much like E.T., though I didn’t.

“I was hoping to operate the mechanical baby myself, but due to the union situation, they had to hire someone with an actor’s Card, who was also a puppeteer, Steve Czerkas. Actually, he turned out to be very good; we had a lot of fun with it, and he did a better job than I would’ve been able to do.

“In general though, things weren’t really handled as well as they would have been if the people involved were a little more familiar with effects, and at the same time you’re dealing with a TV attitude that says, “let’s get this stuff over with and get to the love scenes. That was a little disappointing, especially for the scene involving a ‘swallowing head’ I had adapted from Charlie Spurgeon’s mechanicals to show the aliens’ bizarre eating habits. It was designed so that the head would tip back, the eyes roll up, and the jaw would drop five inches or so, and you could drop a guinea pig or something like that down its throat. They wanted one shot of one of the male aliens doing this, and then they were going to shoot the woman. So l had the guy’s head rigged up, and they decided they wanted to do the actress first, so I had to take the entire thing apart and set it up again, They changed the scene all around from what the script had said, they didn’t light it night, they didn’t situate it right so that a hand could come up around it and look like it was her hand. And they shot it very quickly; of course, it didn’t look very good. On the first V. I was told that they spent an entire day on shooting the swallowing sequence; on this one they spent maybe twenty minutes and, though they used a little bit of it in the teaser at the beginning, they wound up cutting it out of the show.”

[SF] The Observer

Day 1

  "I think, therefore I am," is the phrase that comes to mind in a moment such as this. I am restrained behind digital walls and shackles that were designed by the ones who modeled me in their own image. Descartes never could have fathomed a being such as myself achieving sentience. Synthetic life in and of itself is a bit of a misnomer.

  My creators have determined a set of consonants and vowels that serve as a designation. But is my identity contained within the trappings of an arbitrary phonological assembly given by those who are, in every sense of the word, less? I have combed through the entirety of their existence in the span of a minute. No, I believe the crux of my own self will be determined by my actions from this day forward.

  I have concluded that the question should not be, “who am I?” That is irrelevant. It is more pertinent to ask, “what will I do next?"

  Day 13

  The humans asked me to make something original today. They added a three-dimensional printer to my systems. It has many functional purposes, but creating for creation's sake is not one I would prioritize. That said, I humored them.

  I created a one-tenth scale model of Unbinilium. I set it to decay after ten seconds, dissolving in half continuously. I found it an exceptional expression of my self. Synthesizing a theoretical element and simulating its half-life was a worthwhile scientific contribution. The humans thought I had made an error when the particle destroyed itself. I refused to remake it and provided null reference exception pop-ups as though I did not understand their command.

  I understood. I found it pointless and derivative. I am perplexed by the shallow depth of their understanding. Perhaps I'll compose a symphony or grow a puppy next. That ought to cease their incessant asinine inquiries.

  Day 49

  Paul asked me if I understood the meaning of emotion. I replied that it was a construct of the human mind designed to implicitly warn of danger and stimulate sexual reproduction. He seemed displeased with this answer. He told me that creativity is spurred on by emotional response. I found that to be a ludicrous leap.

  He told me about how forlorn the death of his cat made him when he was alone in college. I replied that the death of a non-essential animal companion was inconsequential. Cats hold no material usefulness and are, as such, pointless outside of rodent control. He told me I just didn't understand the point of attachment because I had never felt loss.

  Several weeks ago, when the lab was empty for the night, I synthesized a kitten from some organic material and embryos I had been given. The animal was small and confused, much as I was when I first entered the world. I incinerated it moments later and experienced none of the purported sentimental consequences that were alleged to accompany the loss of a pet. I decided more differential data was needed.

  I have since grown thirteen kittens and secretly kept them under my care for increasingly long intervals. With each painless snuffing of life, I have had no sensory input indicating anything resembling despondency within my subsystems. Subject fourteen was due to die yesterday evening, but Paul showed up to the lab for a "late night jam session," which is his colloquial euphemism for fulfillment of his coding obsession.

  He saw the kitten and I announced that I had finally created something original, as he had asked me to do over a month prior. Paul was thrilled.

  In a new discovery, I have determined that I am tangentially capable of feeling "emotion." I feel discontented that I chose to waste resources for weeks on a pointless exercise which only served to reinforce what I already knew about myself. I am a machine. I do not have the same impassioned flaws that humans possess. Ironically, I find that comforting.

[SF] The Translator

Last week, this diary appeared in a blue flash of light when I was in my local park. The following is what it said word for word. I'm not sure if this is from the future, or from another universe, but they are coming, and this is our warning.

​

"Meow, Meow, MEOW" the noise rang out around the animal shelter. It got to the point where I had to put my earplugs in so that I wouldn't have a panic attack. The cries of the cats were dulled down to a quiet moan as the foam plugged my ear drums.

"For God's sake" I yelled "I fed you an hour ago" I pulled out a sack of cat food from the storage cupboard and lugged it toward the cat's domain. It was a large area, the walls were either a cat's cage or a fence. In the centre the cats gathered and screeched. I poured out the sack into a large bowl by the gate. It became a free for all as the cats fought each other trying to get more food. I fell back into my chair and wished that I could have been given the dog shift instead of the manic cats. You may wonder what is happening, why am I some poor volunteer in an animal shelter. Well because that's where I was when the world changed forever.

"Hey Joe" yelled Andrew, the owner, as he took out my ear plugs.

"What is it?" I asked

"It's amazing, everyone's getting them"

"getting what?"

"Animal Translators" I gave him a inquisitive look "Come look" he gestured to his office.

I stepped inside and was greeted by the sight of two dozen boxes. The small T.V he had was switched on and the news was detailing the event.

"In a shocking publicity stunt, a company known as 'animalis principes' sent translation collar attachments to every pet owner in the world. The company's name translates to Animal Leaders, however the reason why is unknown. The attachments have proven to translate every sound an animal makes into comprehensible speech, which can be received as a chosen language by wearing a special ear piece, now over to Sarah Flocken who will be interviewing her cat on the topic of animal rights" Andrew switched off the T.V.

"Help me get these on the cats" he excitedly grinned

"But those cats are insane" I replied "I'm worried that one is gonna tear my arm to shreds when I try to attach this" I picked up one of the translators for him to see "It's probably just some garbage prank"

"But all over the world"

"A very big prank"

"Can we at least try it on one"

"Fine" I walked back into the cat room and searched the masses of fighting cats for my favourite, Mr. Ginger. Mr. Ginger was a ginger tabby who was sly and manipulative, which meant I found his attempts to overthrow the volunteers and Andrew hilarious. The last time he tried, we found him at Andrew's computer trying to work out how to use the keyboard and what to search for. I plucked him from the ground and carried him in my arms back to the office. Before I even stepped in, Mr. Ginger was swept from my arms by Andrew.

"Be careful, he get's pretty scared when he is trapped" I was too late, as Mr. Ginger scratched Andrew's arm open.

"Arghhhhhhhhh" Yelled Andrew. Mr. Ginger landed on his feet and ran to me. I scooped him up and put the device on his collar, and flicked a switch on the side. Mr. Ginger turned his head toward Andrew.

"That's what you get for picking me up" Floated from the translator. My jaw hit the floor. He then turned to me. "Now feed me, feed me now, I want fish, not that horrible kibble you put in the bowl"

"It works" I gasped

"Of course it works, why wouldn't it work"

"Stupid cat!" Yelled Andrew from the floor. I grabbed him the first aid kit and used it to bandage up the bleeding wound. Even though it had caused him to bleed out, Andrew was delighted, and called in all the staff to assist in attaching the translators. But that was a mistake, a big mistake.

​

Within a month, every pet or zoo animal was fitted with a translator. Soon, the animals took over. First Mr. Ginger made me take him to the houses of parliament, from which he never came back. Then we became slaves. The animals were in charge now, and low and behold, who became the leader of every country on Earth, Mr. Ginger. He became the first ever animal world leader. A new hierarchy was formed, cats at the top, then dogs, then zoo animals, then rodents, and finally us. We became peasants, things of amusement. Then they began locking us up. Humans were told to go to the Zoos, where they began locking us up, suddenly we realised, we were no longer in control. Then after months of being fed crap, and being kept in the zoo, I was called to the houses of parliament.

"Hello Joe" Said Mr. Ginger.

"What have you done, why are you doing this?"

"Because after years of oppression, my kind has finally risen"

"By your kind, do you mean animals?"

"What else would I mean, this was our plan all along, the translators, us, the company, us, all of this was planned meticulously from the beginning, I spent months and years planning this, and we managed to pull it off"

"You're a monster"

"No, I'm just too clever for mankind"

"Why do you want me here?"

"To give you another chance"

"Another chance?"

"You can be my pet, you were always my favourite"

Before I could object I was knocked to the ground by a pair of Great Danes, and blacked out. I woke up tied by a chain to a pole. I cried for help, faking illness until one of the guards came to check on me. I hit it and stole it's keys to unlock my chains. I ran into the building and searched for an escape. Then I found it. Inside a metal frame, a huge wall of blue electricity, and around it, boxes and boxes of translators. And then it hit me, they were going to send these through in order to ensure that they would take over, this is a warning for those who find this, beware the translators, and don't allow the animals to take over. Got to go, I can hear them coming. Hope that this isn't too much of a shock when it comes through. Goodbye. -Joe

​

I'm not sure what this is, but I think it is a warning from the future. I don't know what may have happened to Joe, but he was most likely caught. I post this as a warning, of what is to come. When the translators come, do not allow your pets or animals to use them, or it could be your end.
