Rats!

This! I've decimated whole families of mice in one night with the bucket trap method. Add 6" of water and glug glug mice go night night.

 

This Thread just goes "Round And Round".

 

I recall the song "Wanted Man" being in Weird Science.

 

Ahhh,

you're paying attention!

I always play that back in my head and get it wrong every time...lol!!!

Ratt's manager was Milton Berle's nephew.

They weren't talented musicians by any stretch, but glam rock wasn't about quality, it was about quantity.

And without Ratt, we wouldn't have Steel Panther.

 

Happens to me too, lol. I recall Gary being in the car with Lisa and she was spraying him with the water gun when that song was on.

 

I was watching the movie that day, my wife came home and said it was the dumbest movie in the world.... So I had to go out to the garage, get my boombox and haddaway tape just to replay the end scene of the movie for her.

 

Right after the little meeting with the parentals about a "soiree" and "combing his hair" and "compliments".

Borrowed a friend's OBD scanner and found the rat chewed off the Camshaft Position Senor wires. Code P0348. Can't get in to the dealer till the 18th. Will it damage the engine if driven?

 

Gary arguing with his mother about what he was doing in the bathroom was funny AF.

 

"Mom, I never!!! (with his hands fist-pumping inwards like Ross does on friends)

LOL

Lived out in the country in Alabama had cared for two cat colonies. Never saw a mouse rat or snake anywhere near my house. Nothing. Cats are the way to go. I'm guessing it's cold where you're at so that's not good cuz it'll kill them off in the winter Alabama and Arizona we don't have that problem. Talk my buddy into relocating a colony to his farm in Iowa and his mice problem has declined sometimes they just kill them for sport if they're not hungry.

Don't waste your time with 'deterrents' of any kind.
Been there done ALL that. If they work for you, it's because you didn't have a real problem to begin with..
Nothing says they won't be back better than dead bodies.

 

What is a cat colony?

 

Ahh yes, the 80s. I remember it well, hot chicks with long hair, some of the best music and movies, and what seemed a much simpler time.

I'm huge RATT fan, well almost all 80's rock for that matter. Some of the attire was a bit much, but the music is great. I'm mean how could anyone not like RATT? The lead guitarists earns cool points just for his name, Warren DeMartini.

Oh and uh agreed on the cat thing. Adopt one if you don't have one. They're incredible hunters and you won't have to mess with cleaning up traps.

 

I've been using this stuff for a little over a year and so far so good.
When I got my truck in Aug 2020, I was horrified to find a nest under the hood after just a month. I'd already had to do a lot of repairs fixing wiring and vacuum hoses on three other rigs that had been chewed up, so I was not about to let those little MF's chew up my brand new truck.
As I say, so far so good. I give the engine bay a decent spritzing every other month.

 

Cat colony is a bunch of cats that kind of hang out together they're sort of feral or strays. You catch them and take him in and get them neutered and rabies shots and then clip their ears so that you know you got them. New cats come in and if their ears not clipped just at a trap and try to get them. The colony of the street was all black cats so the only way to tell that you had gotten them was their ears being clipped.

 

fill the engine bay with poisoned cheese

 

Years ago we had the cat lady that use to drop her feral cats here that had been neutered with rabies shots, ears clipped. They really took care of the mice and chipmunks, but the downside they really pissed off the bird lady next door. The cats would sit by the bird feeders and catch the birds. She had them all trapped and disposed of. As of now no more cats, but zillions of chipmunks and mice. I've been trapping about a hundred chipmunks a year, and probably 3 times as many mice.
