Okay boys and girls, I'm sorry if this is during dinner time, but here goes. The 912 that I posted on here a week ago, has a rat in the smugglers box, and it has set up housekeeping. It has made a nest from a chamios and latex gloves and a bicycle handlebar streamer.
He has been in there for sometime, and he is big. Okay I have tried the sticky traps, did not work. I know have an Electronic Rat Trap with four "C" cell batteries that deliver a ZAP to the little varmit when it sticks its head inside to get at the Skippy smooth peanut butter inside. Doe's anyone have any other suggestions? It is beginning to piss me off and I want to clean it out an move on. CCLINRATPATROL |

Ok, since that will leave an undesired hole, try picking up a good insect fogger, one of those ones that doesnt smell that bad. Insert it into the car and close all the doors and windows, leave it for a good part of the day and then open it up, take out the rat and then put an air freshener inside.
Done |

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,628 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

Gas the bugger. If you have a small enough space run the car or another car next to it in a closed area for about 20min or so. Works well here im my 16 x 16 shed. I leave the mower run for about 20 min with the door & window closed once a month or so. I have gas'd my share of mice & other no shed friendly critters this way.

Just dont forget to take the dead critter out afterwards, otherwise, the car will never sell.

That is the reason I need to be able to find the little critter once it is dead. I don't want it dying while back down in the heat ducts.

I got an idea Craig, Use a heat gun going up the heater duct to force him out. When he pops his head out, shoot him with some scented bug spray or a pellet gun, right in the head. I could do that. Piece of cake. SWKGREATWHITEHUNTER |

Yeah Craig, once you klill it and get it out of the car, we need to see a picture of this huge rat. I mean really, how big could he be if he fits in a heater duct? Now if you have an opossum in there, thats different, you wont kill him with no stinkin pellet gun. I shot one in the eye once with a very high powered pellet rifle and he never did die.

This reminds me of one of my favorite "dirty Eddie" jokes.

Throw a python in there. No one will care about the rat then.
Whatever you do, make sure you get it on video! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
