vegetablebelay Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 There's a rat or rats inside the walls at my gf's house. I've been on a serious mission lately to try and keep him out of the house and kill him and I just stumbled on this site: Ratkill.com Funny stuff and great info if you ever run into this situation Quote

allthumbs Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 I would have terminated a cat like that. When my cat kills, there's no question as to 'dead or alive' ... usually the head is missing. I've watched my killer feline take birds out of mid-air. Fucker is a killing machine, and therefore a valuable asset to the Trask household. Quote

ketch Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Hey VB, A buddy of mine worked at this high end girls camp a while back, a week before opening they found a serious rat problem in some of the cabins. Tim says "no problem I have a #110 rat trap." So he takes some extension cords clips one end and then bares the wires and spreads them apart just a little. He hung it from the ceiling so that the wires were about 5" above the ground. Then he took a big wad of cheese and peanut butter tied it on a string and hung it so that it was about 1" above the wires. Plug in the cord and leave. He came in the next morning and found six rats flung around the room. So, he caught a little flack for bein mean but no rat problems after a day and a half. I can't see it as mean the little buggers got toasted as soon as they sniffed at the bait. Quote

That cat was bringing you its catch and giving you the satisfaction of the kill. Actually the thing probably never learned how to kill the rats. I think they have to be shown by another cat during the first few months of life. Otherwise they just follow their instinct to chase it and play with it. Believe me, dead baby birds on the doorstep are worse...especially when you don't see them before stepping outside. Quote

Yeah, me a river... 1/2 eaten mice at the bottom of the stairs on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night (bare feet)... now THAT is bad! Quote
chelle Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I had bare feet too, but thought I'd spare people the full horror I experienced when I was younger (I think I was about 10 at the time). Quote
cracked Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Dead baby s are vaguely disturbing, too. My cat once got into a nest of baby raccoons. Not pretty. Quote
