If my three dogs are acting normal when I drive up, I have nothing to worry about. If there is anything amiss they'll let me know exactly where to look. God, I love dogs!!!

Have only "cleared" my house once. About a year or so ago, around 3 am, the garage door suddenly opened. Our bedroom is directly above the garage so you can imagine our surprise. I grabbed the Cbob and Mayla had her Ruger 22, she wanted to take part also . We found nothing except a possessed garage door opener, it'd happened before but during the daytime. Since then we unplug it every night and when we leave for more than a day.

Never clear my house....I have indicators that if not in place I back away. I would call LE and have them wait outside if bad people needed to leave, AFTER I activated the ammonia dump.

I typically don't, but have on a couple of occasions.

I put down routinely but it is more like occasionally. I make sure to do so when everyone is out of the house and with dummy rounds in my pistol but once a month or so seems to be plenty often enough.
