I just can't seem to kill the damn things any other way, and if we do increase the poison, their rotting carcasses are gonna STINK! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Oh, when I put traps under the house (my personal rodent battle) I attach fishing line to the trap adn run it to the crawlspace door so that I don't have to crawl all the way in to retrieve them. I'm such a wuss when it comes to that.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azureriders 0 #53 September 12, 2005 Ok, I was raised on a farm with plenty of paster land surronding the house, you can imagine the potential for rat problems. In my experience, there is only one cure, a good cat. When I asked my wife to marry me and we decided to build across the street and stay on the farm, I was horrified of the fact that she was alergic to cats. I knew the rats were going to be big trouble. Much to my delite I learned that she was not alergic to just plan ole short haired cats. I dont know the proper name for them but they are similiar to a minx cat and litteraly run wild here. You may also try the pound, there is nothing special about these cats, just mut cats if you will. She did not know she was not alergic to them because she had never been around them, most people have nice pretty fluffy house cats that shed and cause people to sneeze and that was all that she had been around. You should try this, your boys may not be alergic either. OH, and don't let the rats get to any bread, it may cause them to grow like the one in the pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not the length of hair, it's the animal's dander. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
