Oh Snap!

Living right next to the wash, we get them as well.
What did you use for the bait on the trap some Peanut Butter?
When I put those traps out with bait on it, the only thing I catch is ants all over the bait.
I used that green poison stuff the rats eat and that did pretty good...

Cheese. Colby Jack and Motzarella! And as C-2 stated....always against the wall.

be careful with poison the rats or mice can crawl in the walls of the house and die. your left with a smell that opening up the wall is the only way to rid of the smell. Also if you boat is outside the can play hell with the wiring. use traps or the box that has stick paper on the bottom.

We moved into the new house on Fri and the garage attic and one of the downstairs rooms had this God awful smell....While putting boxes up in the attic, we found the dead rat....It was nasty....forgot to take a pic though....

Unfortunately in my backyard on my built in BBQ. Noticed some droppings a week or so ago as they climbed the stucco sides. Put a stop to that issue!

So the wife and I are watching tv last night with the slider open when we hear the snap snap (hit two traps). She thought it was me making a noise but soon realized it was outside when i asked her if she heard that. Like I said before. Wait a few before goin out. Takes them a while to die and they don't like it when you grab their tail.

Oh, I thought maybe it was in the break room at HotBoat...you know, everybody cleans out the break room fridg on Friday - but they throw their stuff into the break room trash. I put a post-it up asking everybody not to do that.

Dammit! I had typed out the most awesome mouse killing story I have ever had, and Tapatalk locked up! Long story short I once sniped a mouse with my pellet gun! Yes I shot that little bastard in the house I was living in with a pellet gun, and yes I hit that little bastard!

Can you imagine being a mouse and getting hit by a pellet? Ouch.

Another quick rat story.

Some years back I had to interview a witness in Koreatown (just outside of downtown Los Angeles). I was let into the apartment by the Hispanic female, and saw these kids laying on the ground in full sniper position with an old Daisy Red Ryder bb gun pointed towards the kitchen.

I asked her what they were doing, and she said the rats were unstoppable. She pointed to where the 1/4 round moulding would be - they had aluminum nailed to the wall and floor to prevent the rats from chewing thru the walls/drywall. Every corner, every mich had tin can lids or aluminum nailed between it and the floor. But, she said it wasn't enough to keep the rats out and they thought a rat was behind the stove.

Whatever, I had a job to do, lol.

About halfway thru the interview I heard the snap of the Red Ryder, then a bunch of commotion, and saw this brown and white rat tear ass thru the living room with the Mijo's in hot pursuit. One of them eventually clubbed it over the head with a broom, they celebrated their small victory, and that was that.

Not a ghetto looking brown rat - the thing looked domesticated, like a pet rat (in the ghetto).

Damn, to live like that...

No kidding, I had this problem when I lived in a rural area of las vegas...populated area where I currently live, well I've never seen a mouse. Since paying for pest control, I've never seen anything in my house at all...

Four pack of traps for two bucks. I'm a penny pinching banker but I don't reuse traps. One kill! Gotta keep Victor in business.

That story had me rollin thinkin about kids running after it with a club! lol
