As long as the dead mouse is in your home, the smell will get worse with time as the animal decays. So itâs important to find the carcass ASAP and get rid of it to stop the smell from getting worse. To locate the dead mouse in a wall or enclosed space, follow your nose.
Most cucumber plants contain compounds known as cucurbitacins (âkyew-ker-BIT-a-sinsâ) that cause fruit to taste bitter. At low levels, you arenât likely to detect them. But high levels of cucurbitacins produce extremely bitter fruit. Some cucumber varieties possess a gene that inhibits their formation.
Cucumber wilt is a bacterial disease that is caused by the Erwinia tracheiphila bacteria. Most of the time, this evil bacteria is spread from plant to plant by diabolical cucumber beetles, either the striped cucumber beetle or the spotted cucumber beetle. (They are the height of cucumber beetle fashion.)
