Damn it! A mouse has invaded my wheelhouse. Last night I found a
potato that a mouse had half eaten. I set the traps with chuncky
peanut butter and the little sucker ate it without setting the traps
off. I heard him scampering across the decks the other night but
thought it was a bird. Tonight I will use sharp chedder cheese in the
rat traps and hope I get em.

Nothing worse than a rat jumping on-board.

Ill take the trash to the dumpster, arm all traps,load the 22 rifle
with a scope and rat shot, put out posion and listen for that pitter
patter of little feet on the deck.

What do you do to prevent rats from boarding?

Live in Australia.

picture of a person feeding a huge rat at rotten nest island. Dutch
sailor names the island it means rat nest.



What do you do at anchor to prevent boarders from killing you and
taking your boat?

See above.


Yall seem pretty safe in OZ land but you better not go to Indonesian
waters.
