Well this is a first for us - RATS in the garage!! We found the hole and are patching it, but they sure made mess. I hope the traps and poison do their jobs!

The best way I found of ridding my storage buildings of mice & rats was to put a boom box on rock and roll turned up loud and left for a day, then fixed the places that they got in. The rodents are kinda like old folks and have sensitive ears and cannot stand the rock & roll sounds and vibrations. Works for me James

Can anyone decribe the construction of the self resetting rodent trap made from a 5 gallon bucket? I recall a seesaw setup, but cannot remember how it was built.

Thanks

Let's go Mountaineers,

Aloha, Rats! Main thing is that you don"t have the two-legged rats. Those are the worst, and they will steal everything! LOL

Mahalo,

we had rats in our barn for awhile it seems, and we didn't know how bad untill they started eating the baby goats alive in the middle of the night.. so me and a buddy went out with a shovle and a 20. ga one day and by the end of the day had killed 120.. not one under 6 inches long.. never seen a one during the day.. and never seen any holes.. they where down under the sand and manure.. what a mess..

We made a box trap out of hail screen one time about the size of a microwave oven with funnel type entries like a fish trap in each end.

It was so full of rats the next morning, my brother could barely lift it (we were only about 10 and 11) - I'll never forget him straining to hold that trap up and away from him at the same time - shaking from all the furious rats in it... But he was grinning from ear to ear...

did you get every farm cat you had and turn one rat loose at a time and then see the cat catch them??

man I cna think of a lot of fun a guy could have had with those, feed them dried rice??
