I actually SAW one of the rodents this morning!!!

[ACMESkydiver 0]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Joe is getting his class A's on, and he shakes me and says "Wake up, babe." I'm grouchy because I'm still sleepy and say "What do you want?" He says "I got one of our little friends cornered here behind the door."

I'm all, "One of our friends? What the....EEEEEEEEEE!!! HERE?? IN MY BEDROOM?!?!?"

He tells me it's just a little black field mouse, calm down. He tells me he's going to smash it with his boot! THE HELL YOU ARE! This isn't a spider!!!

I convince him to trap it in a garbage can.

I'm atop the bed all terrified, he puts a garbage can on it's side behind the door and scares the thing...and it ran right AROUND the garbage can and down the hall!!

"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! IT'S OVER THERE!!!!!!" I'm yelling.

"I have to get to drill, the mock trial is today and I'm the accused."

"YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THIS DAMN THING!!!!" I'm yelling...it was NOT a 'little field mouse'. It was a HUGE FUCKING BLACK THING the size of a big gerbil/small hamster!!!! HUGE!!!!

I saw a picture of a black roof rat, and that's what it looked like, but I didn't see a tail...

OMG!!!! YOU GUYS!!! LISTEN!!! OMG I CAN HEAR THE DAMN THING RUNNING AROUND AS I'M TYPING!!!

I just called my hubby on the cell and he said he can't come home! I am stuck on top of my bed.

I hate rodents....it's Sunday...the pest control dudes won't be open today...even if they are I don't get paid until the 23rd....

I am doomed.

Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist.

[billvon 3,072]

It's just a rodent, geez. Not much different than a squirrel or a chipmunk. We had a little rat in our backyard that got into our kitchen one night; we ended up trapping him after he had managed to drag an entire bag of corn chips into the garage. (Impressive; it weighed ten times what he did.)

We first saw him hiding behind a flowerpot. We caught him in a live trap and released him about five miles away in a canyon.

Bill we don't have a 'little rodent'. We have a mutant populous that has evolved into a non-catchable, non-killable species that has taken over our home. Not one. Many. Many, many, many. This is only the first one we've seen.

Uh, unless this one little bastard can get around that quick and produces THIS many pooplets, than we have many mutants.

I mentioned a few weeks back in a post: we have used snap traps, tip traps, electric traps, ultra-sonic noise, and poison. They have EATEN all the poison blocks and come back for dessert. They are genetic freaks of nature that must be destroyed.

AH, so that's where my "subjects" went!

I have GOT to be more careful about the door to the laboratory.

We had a total of two. From the debris we found in the garage, it sure looked like an army though.

You're poisoning them but don't want to squish them?

I would be soooo out of there! I know you have children, but ................I don't know.........I'd leave until they were gone.

Kids are at gramma's right now, but I have to go get them this afternoon...they've already been there 2 days and my kids are extra 'challenging' so that's the limit. Besides, they have school, and we have no where else to go. We're kind of stuck.

OK...........listen up. You need a 12 Ga. shotgun. Mossberg 835 with extended magazine is reccomended. Use 3 1/2 in .00 buckshot. 18 30 Caliber pellets will stop him cold. Also.......pick up some Claymores. Place them in the hall. At least 2. One on each side. Set up a dug in LP/OP where you can observe the avenue of approach. Locate your Claymore triggers there and a nice stock pile of extra ammo. Get a radio and request some air, helo, and fire support. Every few hours fire some H&I fires in his suspected locations. If you sense he is in his assembly area call for the air support and hit him before he gets near you. Of course.........if he gets in close it's gonna be ugly but fire the claymores and then go on the attack while he is stunned. Good luck!










Or...........you could just ignore it and set out a trap with some peanut butter on it. Those work well.

Tell ya what, since the kids are allergic to cats, you can come get the little black snake that refuses to leave my house...damn near broke my leg trying to catch it the last time...for all you snakes reading DZ.com, if someone is poking you in the ass with a broom..MOVE AWAY IN THE DIRECTION OPPOSITE THE BROOM!!. I have no idea where it keeps hiding, but it is getting quite aggressive now that it is pretty hungry. Its all yours for the taking, come get it anytime!!

I read your post to my husband over the phone on his cell voicemail. I'm sure some really bored JAG officers will get a kick out of that.

Snakes...HAHAHA!!

My sons are Autistic as I've mentioned on the forums before. They also love to play outside, and last sumer, little Joey was into sticks. He always had a stick in his hand.

Apparently, my little Joey picked up a snake thinking it was a stick in our back yard. Just a little Gardner Snake (black, yellow stripes, about the diameter of your pinky and 14 inches long or so). His 'stick' started wiggling in his hand, and he was very annoyed when the 'stick' slithered out of his hand and tried to get away from him!

The boys have no fear, as they do not understand the concept of danger. (Except for Derick and my sister-in-law's hyper puppy 'Molly'. He is terrified of her! ) Snakes are nothing but moving 'sticks' to my boys.

Well this one is about 4-5 feet long. This is just a quick estimate judged by the length of snake booking across the floor next to me where I landed after tripping over the pile of books I tossed in the middle of the floor off the bookcase to get a better 'poke angle' on him

Damn..........I mean I'm not really a "kid" person but vacating your house until they leave is a BIT extreme.

so set out mouse traps (not the humane kind) and put peanut butter as the bait. and if that doesn't work go buy a pellet pistol and practice your aim.

I'v had to shoot several full sized Rats (the size of a shoe) with my chinese Pellet Rifle (1000fps) b/c they were eating the bird seed in my back yard and pissing off my dog.

Did the peanut butter thing...didn't work.

Problem with a pellet gun is this is the FIRST TIME anyone has seen one of these little beasts, and they've been here for two months at least!!!!

You have to see them to shoot them.

We don't get rats in our kitchen because they would become immediate cat food, but we have some in our backyard. Rich and Frank caught one for me one day (for some reason it amused them to give me a rat as a present). I kept it in a cage for about a week and then we released it, after deciding that neither of us wanted to have to clean the cage. Moonshine and Iggy really wanted to play with it...
