Got a rat
« on: 08 January 2009, 22:25:23 »

No, not as a pet.

It has taken up residence under my decking just outside my patio doors. The sod's built a nest there, too. Tonight I heard the tell-tale gnawing on the wood and then saw a nose and two feet appear in the gap between the decking and the wall of the house.  >:(

Got a BIG rat trap, so tomorrow up comes a section of decking and down goes the trap. Only problem is that the screws holding down the boards have gone a bit manky. I took one out today and half the screw remained in the hole. The screwdriver then needed a charge, so the rat got a stay of execution.

I haven't decided on its last meal yet. Maybe peanut butter.  :y

Get a shotgun -- you can go all "Mad Max" on it (and we can read about you in the papers  :o  )

I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

 ;D ;D ;D

Try a piece of cooked sausage. Make sure you tie it to the trap with some cotton wrapped around it to make sure the rat has to tug at it, SNAP!!! jobs a gud un. :y
