    Yet still effective. Wish I would have thought of it when I was working on my moms house and found that squirrels were in the attic and destroying stuff.

    Btw OP in regards to your sig "moral" refers to behavioral mores or ethics. Pronounced "more ul".

    The quote you are referencing uses "morale" pronounced "more al (as in Bundy)" which refers to attitude. Just FYI dude. Spelling counts in the real world. If it was in a single post I'd not have mentioned it. Instead it's in your sig line which gets repeated every time you post. That calls for correction.


    The others are also right. Kill rats any way you want other than poison, ESPECIALLY antifreeze. It is usually an indiscriminate killer. Remove the food source and trap the determined ones that hang around.

    Patching holes works well for keeping squirrels out of your attic too

    Also I never thought a Canadian would purposely harm anything. Or do you just say sorry after it dies? :D

    That has me perplexed to. The majority of Canadians are so nice that I would genuinely feel bad if we have to return Justin Bieber there. I think a better destination for Bieber would be Honduras.
