ST. LOUIS – The colder weather of the winter season has thankfully slowed down some of our insects, but Rottler says they’re still taking quite a few calls about rodents.“The big thing is they’re just trying to stay warm like you and I,” Jay Everitt, technical director for Rottler Pest Solutions, said.Everitt says there are things for a homeowner to look for when it comes to mice.“Look for droppings. That’s the first thing we think about. And then chewing. So we do see some things, like around the garage doors. Anywhere where there’s like drywall where electrical lines goes through,” he said.Aside from chewing, they can also cause contamination.“So, you don’t want to find one of those in your cereal box that’s for sure,” Everitt said. “But again, looking for those droppings in the pantries, out in the garage if you have dog food that’s stored out there, look at those things. They’re pretty messy. I mean, they will give themselves away.” When is Missouri & Illinois getting snow...

Broncos’ Vance Joseph proud of team’s defensive rally this year, excited about future: “Not having to start from scratch is going to be huge”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:59:48 GMT

Vance Joseph knows the score in the NFL. It’s a tough business.Early in the season, the Broncos’ defensive business was bad.Since then, though, the Denver defensive coordinator has helped engineer a turnaround in a season he described Thursday as rewarding and also encouraging regarding what the future holds.“It took us a while for us to catch our balance, but I was proud of the guys for allowing us to coach them,” he said in likely his final chat with reporters before the offseason. “In this league, it’s pro football, they can say no to your coaching. They can say, ‘I don’t agree with that.’ But this group never did that to us. It was a group that was always open-minded and hard-working and always positive.”All of those characteristics might have gone for naught had Denver folded after its horrid start and the 70-20 Week 3 loss to Miami. Instead, though, the defense worked its way out of the deep hole.The numbers won’t look great when the dust settles, but over the past 10 weeks th...
