SO I wondered if this was a TRUE STORY LIKE I RAN 101 TODAY
but I have to say it was soooo funny...
....but then at my shop we HAD RATS after they knocked down the building next door

ONE MONSTER BIG RAT and many small ones LIKE this story I tried many different ways to get HIM...
....the walk the plank trip using yardstick with bait on the end, suspended 1/2 way over a big garbage can..1/2 full of water 110 volt trap into bait rigged on a 2x4..
....THE BABY RATS WERE EVERYWHERE...ONCE a small rat fell out of the ceiling onto my desk while I was talking to a customer there was rat **** pellets all over....
.....Then talking to a guy about the problem he said just get the biggest spring trap you can find.
I said tried that using peanut butter for bait
NO....the guy said heres the trick bait

GO get you a SLIM JIM and bite off an inch or two....chew on it for a minute to loosen it up..........

......POW I got the monster rat that same night.....I'm looking for the picture and will post it once I find it

You had more than rats around your shop! When I worked in Miami, we had big rats all the time. It was so bad we even had owls hanging around. Brought in a few cats and dogs, problem solved.

That was one funny on going episode.

Had a mouse problem in my garage. My cat died several months ago and no way am I going to get another cat; fickle bastard. So I did a search and found the stuff to use is Just One Bite II. So far it seems to have done the trick.
Also found out spray Brake Cleaner works like knock out gas on them. Give enough of it and they don't wake up. Works on birds too.

Had my back door open on a cool day back in Jan. and a little bird flew into my house and got trapped between the curtain and a window. I sprayed some brake cleaner behind the curtain and the bird went down. I scooped it up in my hands, brought it outside where it was windy. It woke up after a min. or so and after getting it's bearings it flew to the fence and perched until it was ready to fly again.

We have roof rats down here in Miami live in trees and attics I cut 40 trees down and never checked the roof was sealed big mistake. It started one night in the kitchen would wake up and there would be shredded tomatoes and holes in packages. Then one night a noise behind the refrigerator thought it was compressor and wholes and shredded food lizards. Wrong and the way I found out was one morning the wife got up and I awoke to a scream dam thing ran across her feet. Called critter fellers and they came out found 3 holes and want 1200 and there had been a big critter in the attic and it shat all over and contaminated the attic(5k). 3500 later the holes were sealed new insulation and the varmits were captured in a rat traps the old wood snap trap story over. NOT had to move the boats to back yard so the gas meter was in the way gas company comes and moves the meter and leaves the hole quess what and what did it do ran across the same feet. In all the neighborhoods in Miami good or bad there are thousands of cats and they have free range. I can still hear the snap of the traps sound of victory. Rick
