Damned Rats

bummer!

IMHO, the best answer to "rats" is "cats".

BTW, the new batch has just arrived, I am giving away free cats and including one spare cat too as a bonus!

I once found a rat skeleton in the air cleaner housing of a 200 sx,
We have a feral cat tribe living behind us no rats here but geez yeah what if that had been a brake line...

Damn things chewed up my turn signal pigtail. Twice! I put out some poison in a bait box and that did the trick.

I keep poison bait out in the engine compartment, the interior and the trunk.

Every so often, I see bite marks.

Moth ***** or a good ole Tom cat... I know I hate the smell wise (for both) moth ball smell sucks and I'm not doing a litter box so it'd best be an outdoor cat with access.. but both will keep them away..
