  1. Монтажные работы должны выполняться опытными специалистами, знающими поведенческие особенности грызунов и некоторые тонкости монтажа системы ОЗДС. При соблюдении этих условий система будет работать с максимальной эффективностью. Мы работаем, как на строящихся, так и на заселенных грызунами объектах! Если на объекте полная строительная готовность и смонтированы смежные системы, то работы по монтажу ОЗДС будут выполнены в более короткие сроки!

  2. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
