Rodent issues

[racsan]

mix cracked corn with “golden malrin”. its fly bait for use in horse stables. Works for raccoons too-(use grape jelly & sliced fruit for them, cats/dogs wont touch it but the coon will and litterly drop dead within feet, sometimes within sight of the bait).

Leave your hood open when you park at the end of your day. The chipmunk feels safe and warm. If it no longer has the cover of the hood, he will find another home.

My son does that every Winter to keep squirrels and mice out. He just opens the hood about 6" to keep out snow and rain. He has owls roosting in his trees and they take care of 90% of the rodent problem. So far no nests in 4 years.

Lets try this again, hopefully this time in the right thread!

I despise rodents... constant battle... have a nest under the upper intake manifold on my '00 Explorer now... Had a pesky varmint in the F350 over the spring/summer and put one of these trap boards in the passenger floorboard and caught one... It's just a chunk of plywood with a bunch of mouse traps screwed to it opposing eachother, then a Tee nut up from the bottom with an allthread handle. No bending down, the traps are easier to set attached to a board... I just put some peanut butter under the little hook in the middle of the paddle and in the little rectangle box thing by the pivot, I started putting some sunflower seeds in the void in the middle. I've also done the same size board with I think 7 rat traps to catch the rats in the wood shed... worked fine. To use this outside you could take a rubbermaid tote and cut slits in the sides and slide it over the handle and use a nut to hold the bin up or something

I'm currently trying to get to a bigger rodent that's plugging the culvert under the road... big ol flat tailed guy I'm pretty sure...

I feel like I’ve read this somewhere before.

Every fall, these little bas'ards start looking for a warm place to nest!

Nope. Your overactive imagination is running away again. You might want to stop it before it has you taking over the world, or carrying out some other sinister plot.

I made two more of those trap boards the other night, caught one mouse in the garage last night, the stinky bastages... I think it was the one making nests in my metal lathe desk...
