For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to catch a large
rat in my garage. My wife has a bag of birdseed in the garage and the
rat just loves the birdseed. We tried putting a plastic top on the birdseed bucket and the dang
rat ate a hole in the bucket to get to the seeds! So I bought a huge
rat trap and put some peanut butter on it with some sprinkles of his favorite birdseed. I've been doing this every night and the
rat just eats the peanut butter and seeds and doesn't set off the trap! Last night I prepared the rats favorite meal once again and put one of sticky traps out hoping that if the trap doesn't get him, the sticky trap will. I also put an additional trap down the wall a ways. Well... He sprung the trap, ate the meal, and still got away!
OK, now I know the
rat is messing with me!!! Upon his exit from his nightly meal, he actually stepped in the sticky goo on the other
rat trap, but still got away, flipping the sticky trap over on top of one of my favorite electric screwdrivers. ARRRRRGGGGG!!
RAT, Your are going down!!! If my father was here, he would be sitting in the corner of the garage, in the dark, with his Remington 22, waiting to get a bead on the varment.
