Authorities usually notify residents if it is close by and if they are dusting the prairie dog holes.

Rest, let the dust settle, and put the cash flow into savings. 

Use the spatula as a scoop and place debris it in grocery bag.

My suggestions knowing the neighborhood are that you do have traffic, street dust, noise, rif raff at 2 in the morning.

It sounds, from your post, that you are looking to turn a lemon into lemonade, but you might have sort of a decent lime in your bag.

I'm so used to always packing my screw driver and misc tools bag I was packing them for my work trip.....Yes whenever we go to one of our places we are fixing stuff, or hiring people to fix stuff, or writing down stuff to fix in the future.....But we do take time to relax too.

I agree that's true but kind of a mute point imo... if you're concerned with the pex leaching chemicals then you should be concerned with the piping that city water travels in before reaching your pex lines and the quality of the city tap water in general.... as well as anything you drink that's bottled and any food that's bagged in plastic even those labelled as food safe which have been shown to leach chemicals.

Even so much as to put all trash in trash bags rather than just throwing it away.

Mold requires water and a food source (dust is sufficient), so it's important to find the source of water and stop it.

In the stock world we call them bag-holders and that's what many were.
