there is rat in the wall of my house

[sourpuss]

We got some huge rats around my neighbourhood. The come from the beer factories, feed on the grain that spills. They r bloody huge. Bigger than a squirrel. Dunno if thats normal.

Its prolly a mouse.... they make loud ass scratching noises... I've been woken up at 430 in the morning to what sounded like freddy kruger scratching my walls.... it was just a lil mouse escaping for the day... look for the hole (s) that they are getting in... and stuff em with steel wool... they wont chew through the steel wool or it kills em... and as for the mouse poison.. a lot of times the poison they use dehydrates the mouse to the point where its just a lil piece of fur.. before it has a chance to stink up your joint....I use glue traps and poison even though its kinda shitty.... but I didnt ask for mouse poop all over the place so thats how i balance it out in my mind

I would suggest moth balls to keep them away.

They ate 2000 of my seeds in one night....

Stickey traps. Poison bait. And the normal old fashion traps baited with peanut butter. I'd avoid poison if you have any pets that might eat mice.

Don't use poison the last thing you want is a dead rat in the wall.

 

[igrowone]

animal in walls/attic will sound about 5 times bigger than it is
as mentioned probably a mouse
for bait, plain bread works really well, roll it tight and they can't steal it so easy

Good thing about a rat in the house is it gets rid of the mice.
So if you still catch mice you probably have no rat as a roommate.

There is always a point of entry and the nesting area Find these location and put out Poisson.
I had a crazy landlord years ago that had an all out war waged against feral cats. This involved a sears 22 rifle 2 x4's and multiple Beaver traps.
The dude was ruthless.
Caught him braining a cat and informed him it was a tenants cat. He said Collateral Damage.

The tip of the Ice berg with this guy.

Steel wool is a great tool to put in smaller holes so mice don't enter, they won't chew through it. Have to eliminate entry points somehow, using hardware cloth etc.

Sometimes rat and mice traps don't trip easy enough so when setting them put oil on the end of the bar and where it meets the piece of metal holding the bait. The peanut oil is usually enough.

I'd actually rather not kill the mice or rats but once they start crapping and pissing on everything in storage they have to go asap. It's really all about preventing entry in the first place if you want to stay ahead of them.

Or make a bucket trap, put one outside....bucket trap is easy to make...bucket,piece of wood, drill and coat hanger... Bait the wood with the peanut butter or bacon grease, rat/mouse goes for it, wood spins....critter falls into bucket filled with water and drowns..... Farmers use them around here, some people put anti-freeze in the bucket if they don't wanna check that often....rats/mice end up pickling..lol



.22 pellet gun works well on them....crossman backpacker model with the bleed hole filled of course

The worst type! Lol

Next step learn circles

 

[angelgoob]

just make a spear and wait for it.

chances are you'll miss, but t'll be hilarioussssss.

 

[Green Squall]

don't use poison or sticky traps. You don't want it dying in the wall or another animal eating the dead mouse. And sticky traps are friggin cruel. Just use a normal trap with peanut butter.

Indoor or outdoor cat? My indoors cats were absolutely useless at eradicating mice.

I challenge you to a rat off... lol I don't live there but the biggest rats in canada are on the west coast. Wharf rats... they scare the harbour seals sometimes I've watched a rat stand it's ground and the seal turn and fuck off... I've spent a lot of time on the coast, man the rats in Vancouver and vicar retarded

Lol my province was rat free but we stopped spending to keep them out

 

[SouthernGuerila]

Well my advice would be to talk quietly, don't let it hear any of your business! Or sit it on a stool if u like flying rats better. Can't stand the sneaky barstards.

Spent many a hr shooting long tails as a chavvy

Let me know if you hear a mouse piss on cotton.

I'm with CoCo in his 1st post, if it's a rat, burn the house down!


this is the bucket trap as described above, use anti-freeze as it does pickle the mice so that they won't stink, if you have a mouse in water for more than 24 hours it's smell will make ya puke In anti-freeze you can wait a month (or 3) w/o raising a stink.

the worst issue with rodents is that they leave a scent trail guiding others into your crib.

as far as 'one at a time traps' go I prefer the good old Victor snap traps, and although I hate to kill the mouse up close and personal while it's thrashing about on a glue trap (TomCat is best) I'm usually pissed off enough at the dirty critter to walk up to the bastard stuck in a glue trap and scream at it (very loudly) 'STICK AROUND MOTHERFUCKER!!!'; then I toss it into a plastic grocery sack and whack it on the floor one time, with the exception of the quick fright explained above the mouse is dispatched rather quickly and humanely.


imeo, (<---that'd be expert) too much peanut butter (PB is greasy stuff) in a glue trap can allow your prey to work itself free. I left Minnesota for a winter trip to NY, I must have prepared a meal and forgot to put the blue cap back on a small Crisco cooking oil bottle, when I got back the bottle was full and we count 17 or 18 tails in it.

Fuel air bomb would work too...

Alternatively if heat isn't your thing there's always liquified gases... cold works...

Sounds like quite the individual. I mean it's sorta funny but I love cats alot so not that much for me. More just his level of crazy is funny.

God I'll have to ask about what's bellow the surface on that one...

I have rats plural in the crawlspace & walls & they also seem to like the bathtub.

If I am taking a bath and they are busy fighting or making baby rats ... oh man how can I hear the voices in my head ?


or maybe it's one rat with multiple rat personality disorder and he's channeling Robin Williams doing 100 different voices ?

Submachine Gun...

Flamethrower...

Napalm...
