Default Im starting to take it personal!!!!!!!!

:mad :mad :mad
Went out to the car today to take it for a spin. Opened the hood to check the oil and found rodent poopie on top of the firewall. The paper I keep tucked inside to check the oil was torn to pieces.

The interior looked OK (I put Irish Spring bar soap inside).

Started it up, backed out the garage and I see little pieces of black foam flying all over. The little pr-ck or pr-cks ate the foam tunnel colar.

Went to Lowes and bought every known mouse/rat trap and poison made.

If this doesn't work, it's off to pound to get a cat. :banghead: :banghead: :rant: :rant:

77BlueL82,

They must have heard you had a mouse motor. Things could be worse - what if you had a rat motor in that thing? :lol:

Thanks, I needed that.

I have a feeling that it's a rat and not a mouse. :mad :mad

Your traps and mouse candy hopefully will take care of them. I had them in my garage for a while, figured out that the dog food and wild bird seed was attracting them, so they just decided to move in. Would suggest you get anything like that out of there if you have any.

I've had good luck with Glue Boards. They fold to form a little tunnel, and they smell like peanutbutter. The little Bastages get stuck to the glue, and die a slow and painfull death :reddevil I would not recommend poison. Mickey could crawl up into something and die..then you have a hard time trying to find "that stink" comming from "somewhere". Good Luck
