I don't like to use it at all but when I do it is only in places that they can't get to like the garage or RV.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-11024679411137856022011-07-07T20:41:18.970-07:002011-07-07T20:41:18.970-07:00That's a good idea Miss France.

Perhaps he is just trying to share with me. I would love it if my dogs could patrol my garage and RV and keep the pack rats away but there are too many things they might destroy as well.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-23738734027794510642011-07-07T20:10:54.387-07:002011-07-07T20:10:54.387-07:00Please be careful using any kind of poison around ...Please be careful using any kind of poison around the dogs as you wouldn't want a dog to ingest the poison "secondhand". http://www.dogsymptomscure.com/dog-rat-poison-symptoms.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-47597157434560563942011-07-07T14:03:48.078-07:002011-07-07T14:03:48.078-07:00A good way to bait a trap, believe it or not, is t...A good way to bait a trap, believe it or not, is to super glue a nice, big piece of walnut or cashew on it.Miss Francenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-46676189999509459762011-07-07T02:53:40.820-07:002011-07-07T02:53:40.820-07:00On the other hand, you can always get a foster rat...On the other hand, you can always get a foster rat terrier...KoBoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285415909669136256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-78622447960969015742011-07-07T02:48:21.482-07:002011-07-07T02:48:21.482-07:00Caulk the rat to a cactus!Caulk the rat to a cactus!KoBoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285415909669136256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-13731892982384966002011-07-06T21:04:22.103-07:002011-07-06T21:04:22.103-07:00The cat wouldn't know what to do with a rat. ...The cat wouldn't know what to do with a rat. the rat hasn't made it into the main living area yet. That compartment is kind of an access panel to the underside I guess. And yes, the rat has left a lot of debris in very unreachable places. A glue trap might work but I wouldn't want to deal with it, especially if it was alive. Eek. The mouse trap was a live trap...or dead trap if I leave them in there too long but that would be bad if it started to smell. The rat poison that I put down there is gone but it must have been his friends that ate it because he doesn't seem bothered by it.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-90034237219288828492011-07-06T20:56:53.954-07:002011-07-06T20:56:53.954-07:00What kind of mouse trap did you use?

Would a glue trap work or would the rat be too big for it and just drag it around the RV?<br /><br />And isn't it the cat's job to find the rat and kill it?<br /><br />YECCH @ all the droppings and other stuff the rat has dragged into the RV.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.com
