RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lawdwaz]

A couple months ago I got a call from a customer for a horrible odor in their hair salon/spa. The owner told me he knew it was a dead rat somewhere.....we looked for a couple hours to no avail. The building is 125 years old and cracks & crevices are everywhere. Pinpointing the odor was very difficult. I put two of my odor control machines in place to help with the stench. After a few days the smell got real bad in one area and I made one more desperate search in an area that had been looked at a bunch of times.

Up and under one of the pedicure chairs I found the little SOB. I almost puked.....I grabbed one of the girls THIN latex gloves and reached up and pulled him out.

If you looked close you could see him/her right below the center of the seat in the horizontal area between the seat and the spa chair base. (right below the customers crotch!)



Before I pulled him out I thought I'd get a glamor shot of him. Darned Iphone comes in handy.......



The puddle of body fluids that I had to clean up was the worst of the job. Hard to describe that.

This all happened February 13th, the day before one of their busiest days of the year.

Eeewww! I can gut a wild animal with no problem but I cringe at the site of a dead rat. LOL!

[Pygmy]

I wonder what did him in ??

 

Do you suppose that Rosie O'Donnell had a hair appointment and had a little intestinal distress and GASSED the unfortunate little rodent to death  ??

 

Naw...Couldn't have been Rosie..The chair wasn't big enough...

I've done some amazingly strange jobs in the past 28 years in my business but this one is in the top 3.  I could right a book...........

OK just the name mentioned...I have a profound dislike for that woman...one that brings to mind a knee to her crotch reaction or a spit in her eye...really two disgusting actions...but I could see doing should I  ever have to hear her voice in person......Rant done

Remember Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell in the media ? That was great entertainment.

[growalot]

They are a perfect pair...

A man owns the salon and he hunts.  I think even a state inspector would have to cut them some slack as there was nothing you could do other than close.  The clients were pretty cool about it other than a little more bitching than usual. <grin>

 

I had two odor control machines going and we searched high & low for the source.  The building is next to a high end restaurant and thats the reason they are (were?) around. 

 

The odor was brutal UNTIL the rat was removed.  The next day the odor was completely gone.

 

If I EVER deserved a serious tip, this was it.  Unfortunately all I got was a gift certificate for a pedicure, I kid you not.

Geez man, I almost puked my dinner out, you owe me a steak... :-)
