I prefer the rat traps that snap them on the spine. I could not drown them, but i have turned my back and dropped a brick on a half alive mouse in a trap before ***shudders*** Link to comment

Sorry about your problems Libby, these problems are always worse in the cold weather, as food is short. I think even though it's expensive cabinets need to be inside a room of some kind to protect them & also prevents accidental losses by escape. I should have got your exterminator in over 25 years ago for $90, as he would still be coming back…I think it's hilarious that they can give a guarantee on getting rid of rats or mice. The supply seems endless. Re the ads thing I have noticed if we are talking about cages there will be ads about cages…taking about rats, exterminators…BIG BROTHER [GOOGLE] IS WATCHING…definitely.

The good news, no babies or any harm was done last night... The bad news Around midnight Bob and I were in bed when we heard a hens angry squaking (You all know the kind) Due to the cabinets being next to my bedroom window we took this as our warning sign something was disturbing them... Well Bob ran out there in boxers and all to find a rat (not able to get into the cabinets due to the new wire we put over them) It hid behind the cabinets for a while as Bob harassed me through the window what to do about... I said I personally couldn't make the decision ... He smashed the cabinets up against it on the wall All we heard was a squeek... Half an hour later we heard another angry hen, again, Bob ran out in his boxers, the rat had gone Link to comment

We had more movements in the night too. Cricket and Maggie were trying desperately to climb on top of Kens aviary and were giving all the signs that there was a rat or rats on top of the aviary....so our Rat saga isnt finished yet either. You need to have something handy for Bob to use if he sees or finds a rat out there at night....a garden hoe is a good "weapon"of choice as rats dont squash behind cages as easily as dealing with a mouse Edited July 8, 2008 by KAZ Link to comment
