Rats

[Tiler_J]

You guys go start your cheating poison thread elsewhere. Poison is for women and medieval royalty to use, not men.

Or for guys who have a cabin they can only use/access 5 months out of the year.

[assateague]

Elsewhere, Borgia.

[assateague]

I'll take a pic of the poison the neighbor gave me today. Not gonna use it, but didn't want to be rude. He swears by it, it comes in little paper packs, and they just chew through the paper. Starts with a B I think.

On a side note, I put 6 mouse traps in the attic. Probably too late now, since it's warming up and they'll be headed back outside, but I listened to those bastards running through the ceiling all winter long.

Carry on. I enjoyed watching that big rat bastard taunting you on video next your trap but not getting caught.

Don't let Dutch get ahold of that shit. Dogs love it. Cost me 200 bucks last summer when my lab got into some at the shop. Also a lot of the new shit shuts down their nervous system so once they eat it they are basically fucked if you don't get it out if them immediately.

The American Spirit sign is awesome.

[assateague]

They sent me that metal sign for my birthday a couple years ago. Not making that up.

[DeadEye_Dan]

Assafact

[assateague]

Nope. Truth. The Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company regularly sends me birthday and Christmas cards, along with random gifts like an occasional t-shirt, sign, or coupons for free stuff.

Ive gotten lots of shit from Copenhagen, most of it useless though.

[quackhead]

You need them 110's stabilized! Just like a properly bedded leghold

[assateague]

They are- there's a piece of tin I bend into sort of an "H" and screwed into the wood on the one, and the one in the box is wedged into a smaller slice in the back of the big notch.


Nothing last night, in the traps or the RatCam.

[quackhead]

Ahh. It didn't look like anything but the cardboard supporting it.

[assateague]

On the box, it is. But there's a slit about 2 inches deep at the back of the notch that the springs wedged in to. Should be alright. We'll see.

[quackhead]

If you hae some corrugated plastic you could make a pan for it.

Classy tobacco company right there.

That's a damn good idea.

No shit. Super simple.

[quackhead]

And works great! May need to file the dog a little to make it more sensitive.

If your dog(s) eat poison, make them or force them to drink Hydrogen Peroxide as soon as possible. The strength that you by for home use not industry. They'll usually puke it up within 15 minutes.
Best alternative is don't use the poison or have it around.

Yup! Saved my dog once. Pulling the engine out of a truck tons of old school deadly coolant on the floor and he comes over and laps up a bunch before I can stop him. 2 cap fulls of pure hydrogen peroxide he puked his guts out almost immediately.

[FlintRiverFowler]

I knew about the peroxide thing but I didn't have my wallet on me to buy any so I rushed her to the nearest vet.

[assateague]

Time to go check the traps and RatCam. Fingers crossed.

[assateague]

Nothing. Cleaned up the crumbs I left on the floor, but didn't go into the box or through the other 110. And I didn't get anything on the RatCam. Need to adjust it- I think the motion sensor was just a bit too high.

[quackhead]

These things are gonna make you completely grey haired soon

[Flightstopper]

What kind of trapper can't even catch a rat?!

[assateague]

Apparently this one.

[Flightstopper]

Apparently this one.

[assateague]

With each passing day, it escalates. I will own this motherfucker. The RatCam adjustments came through last night.



He wants to go into that box and get that big hunk of pastry so bad. Sooooooo bad. This was at 11:45, about a half hour after my last visit.







And then he came back from the same direction to eyeball it again at 5:07. Fat little fucker will get greedy before it's over with. I just have to wait him out. Think I may convert the conibear in the box into a pan set like quack showed. Maybe that will entice the bastard to take one more step in.

[DeadEye_Dan]

You need some "Rat in Heat" scent for that bastard. He's crafty.
