Mouse infestation question - 09/07/18 05:00 PM
Hi ADC people,
I’m looking for opinions on a purchase I’m considering. My wife and I found a dream home on the Snake River. The price is exactly what we have in equity in our current home in town. We watched it built as a spec home but it never sold after completion a year or so ago. We found out it’s being included in a bankruptcy and the bank is now the seller. I had a realtor friend give us a tour. Nice house! But every cabinet is literally covered in mouse droppings. The shower floor is covered in them. There’s a nest next to the furnace in the garage. The house smells like a rodent cage. Like a hamster that needs his cage changed. Is there a way to fix all that? It’s gonna be an as-is sale. I’m thinking that I can’t begin to offer asking price. How would you even know if the walls aren’t full of them? My wife is leery as all get out now. Any ideas on how I might approach this? I’m not an ADC guy. Just a fur trapper plus a little badger removal here and there.
Thanks
