INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a number of different rat poisons on the market, but they generally all work by preventing the rats’ blood from clotting. You’ll need to read the label on your poison carefully in case there are any specific instructions that you need to follow.  Store the poison on a high shelf away from children and pets, and make sure it’s clearly labelled. If you use poison outside, it must be labeled for outdoor use. Bait boxes are small boxes that are designed with small entryways that are only big enough for rats and other small rodents to enter. This can help protect larger animals and children from ingesting the poison, although you should never place rat poison near areas where children might play. Some commercial poisons come already contained in bait boxes. If the one you choose doesn’t, you’ll need to buy the box separately. You can find these wherever pest control products are sold. Look for secure, hidden spots around your apartment building where rats are likely to hide. If you see anywhere that has rat trails, nests, or feces, place a bait box there. Other good places include behind or under appliances, walls, and pipes, or inside a rat hole, if you’ve found one. If you’re an apartment manager or maintenance person, notify the residents of your apartment complex where you’ve placed these poisons. Check with the manager before you put out poison if you’re a resident. You must continuously feed the rats the poison for at least six days in order for it to be fully effective. Keep in mind that rats can become tolerant to poisons, so don’t stop the poison early. You may also want to try different poisons if you do more than one treatment. Rats will not eat spoiled bait, so make sure you keep it fresh. If you have any remaining poison once your rat problem is under control, follow the directions on the packaging for disposal. Don’t just throw the poison away, as this can harm other people, pets, or animals if they accidentally come in contact with it. Rats can build a tolerance to the poison, so if you have a serious rat problem, treat for about a month at a time. Take a break between treatment cycles to ensure that the rats don’t become immune to the poison. You can try other treatment methods between poisonings.

SUMMARY: Use a poison designed specifically for rats. Place the poison inside bait boxes. Set the bait boxes where you think the rats will be. Replace the poison daily for 5-10 days. Dispose of extra poison. Skip a month between treatments.

Go through your closet periodically and decide what you want to keep. Consider taking out anything you haven't worn in over a year. These items just take up space in your closet, but you can put them to good use. If you don't want to throw these clothes away, you can store them in a suitcase or a box. If a time comes when you decide to wear it again, you can go through storage to retrieve it instead of allowing it to take up closet space. If your clothes don't fit anymore, you can always sell them for a low price at a yard sale. If you don't have enough for a whole yard sale, you can see if you can get some money back for them at Plato's Closet or another thrift store. Even if your clothes are ripped, some people use ripped t-shirts and clothing for other DIY crafts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Understanding where your dislike of the person comes from can help you avoid specific situations that may exacerbate your feelings. Ask yourself both, “What do I dislike about this person?” and “Why do those traits or behaviors bother me?”  Consider whether those traits truly impact you. For example, if you find a coworker or peer to be arrogant, think about whether their attitude truly has a negative impact on you. Do they take credit for your work, for example? Or do they simply have trait you do not like? Make a concerted effort to not focus on traits that do not have a direct impact on you. Remind yourself, “This person’s actions do not have any impact on me and it is not worth my time to negatively focus on them.” Calm yourself by taking a deep breath and refocusing your attention away from that individual. Breathe in slowly for a count of three, hold your breath for two seconds, and breathe out for another three count.  As you breathe, focus your attention back on your own goals and challenges for the day, and let that other person slip from your thoughts. Repeat the cycle as necessary throughout the day to help you keep calm. Do not sacrifice professional or academic priorities to avoid this person. However when the situation doesn’t necessitate interaction, keep calm by simply disconnecting from the conversation. You may opt to not pick up the phone or respond to that person’s email or text message at that time.  Do make an effort to respond eventually when you have a clear head. If you must interact with this person on occasion, it is best to be polite. Do not lie or make excuses about why you waited to respond. Simply say, “I apologize that it took me so long to respond,” and continue with your message. When you dislike someone, it can be easy to further upset yourself by trying to find things to dislike about the person. Remind yourself that you have the option to stay neutral regarding that person’s actions or decisions. Do not let your dislike turn into a grudge. When you find yourself looking for more reasons to dislike this person, remind yourself that it is alright to not connect with someone, but it only hurts you to find other things that bother you. Keep your calm in the long term by simply addressing what you dislike directly if you think it can be resolved. If you dislike someone because they treated you poorly at some point, for example, let them know, "I would like to talk about this situation so that we can put it behind us."  When you speak with this person, try to avoid accusing them or casting blame. Instead, stick to statements regarding facts and your own feelings. Rather than saying, "You tried to hurt me down by asking me to leave," let them know, "It was hurtful when you asked me to leave because I was excited about this activity, as well." Allow the other person to share their thoughts and feelings on the situation as well. Understand that your perception of the situation might not reflect their perception or intentions. Leave your mind open to hearing their side of the story, as well. Agree upon a resolution. Perhaps you want to be friends now. Perhaps you don't want to socialize, but you will agree to stop saying hurtful things about one another. Find a solution that works for you and the other person, and agree on it once you feel you have addressed the underlying issue.

SUMMARY:
Evaluate your dislike. Take a breath. Disconnect yourself. Stay neutral. Resolve your dislike.
