Default I Hate RATS!

i always hated rats but now i hate them even more. i've been noticing rat crap around my engine bay area lately, so one day i decided to trap some and feeding them rat poisons. so far i have killed 3 of them but now there family members came back for revenge.

hmmmm well if i had rats eating up my engine bay i would have all sorts of ordinance for them

poisin--sticky traps---normal traps(spring loaded) and also they have live traps where the rat walks in but cant get out.

use them all to save yourself from anymore trouble

chewing through a metal cable like that is just crazy

good luck

do you drive your car often? luckily i havent seen any signs of rats in my engine bay but i park it for weeks at a time and the most i see is some spiders and i giggle cuz they always seem to want to build a web around my turbo and manifold and a quick trip the the store usually takes care of that problem

no honestly heres what you do, buy a freaking cat, cat food, litter box and youre set

if you have rats do you think those suckers will disapear, very hard 2 kill them off 2

cats dont really need any care as long as they got food and crap, let the puss walk around for few days and rats and mouse will be gone,

or go 2 shelter and get one from there, i had 2 see some wire chewed up and ur soarer hurtinn

lol its not very sound advice to get a cat to let live outside on the streets so you can get rid of a few rats lol

and yes cats do need care lol

funny though

I had same problem but in my lawn mower lol I stuck some moth ***** under the hood and they disappeared. Don't know if it'll work for rats though especially if they are huge.
