In-house exterminator(s)

We have had the world's largest hole in our screen door for the past few weeks. We have had a smaller version of it for about three years, but it has grown into the largest hole only recently. It started because our electricity meter is inside our sunroom. The dogs have access to the sunroom from the family room on their way out to the dog-door to go the the bathroom while we are at work. When the meter man/woman comes once a month he/she must look through our sliding glass door, through the snarling dogs, and read our meter. They don't ask us to move our meter, so it has remained where it is. But, when the said snarling dogs jump up to try and bite the face off of the meter wo(man), they also scratch the screen. Long story short, they have created a hole at Steve-o height that has grown to the size of a volleyball.

At night, when the screen door is open, since we live in Las Vegas, and it is wonderful outside, all the moths, in Las Vegas, come through the giant hole and fly into our house towards the florescent lights in the sun room and in the kitchen. The cats and Suzi want to kill these moths. I am all for this.

I can tell when there is a moth in the house in three ways.

1) When I go into the kitchen the moths fly at my head

2) There is a cat on the counter staring at the ceiling -- at which point the cat is yelled at, shooed off the counter, and cleaner is applied to the area where their rump just rested

3) Suzi is running around the room staring at the ceiling with her ears in full triangle mode

Last night we had two moths in the sun room. Vern was first on the case. She was chirping and jumping around, but she is only a foot tall and can't get up to get the moths once they fly above her head. So Jeremy lifted her up and she put her nose right up to the moths and try to grab them at the ceiling. The entire time she was in the air, her paws were spread with claws out. It was awesome. She was in full attack mode, but he could only hold her up for about 30 seconds at a time because he was laughing too hard.

Then Suzi came in, and was rushing around the room after the moths. Jeremy would brush them off the ceiling and she would lunge. They would fly up, he would brush off, she would lunge. This continued until eventually it swooped down far enough that she caught it in her mouth, and she ate it like a dog treat.

I love my pets.
