Best Rat Rifle
They are trying to destroy my house and cars. In one day (1 day, mind you!)
they did $1,235 worth of damage to my friend's car (we car pool to work and he parks in my yard). They chewed through just about every wire under his hood, and ripped the insulation down from the inside of the hood. They are in my attic, chewing and gnawing at everything. They have run through my house, they have run past me whilst I am working out on my Bowflex Treadclimber (not a paid endorsement). They are everywhere! I've tried the 'have a heart' traps and they just laugh at them! Two of those traps still sit in the yard, peanut butter bait still intact. I tried being mister nice guy. Now they die.

Killed 2 squirrels in less than a minute from 45 yards. It does have a scope. Scout "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... Has to be a Remington model 550-I .22 with a Simmons Pro 50 scope, using bird shot. Only problem is CB rounds jam. Joe |

You should try them with a little peanut butter - it rubs in nicely! Scout |

I had a rat chew the radiator fan sensor wire. The computor light came
on. I could not figure it out so brought the car to the dealer. They wanted to install a new fan, new sensor, harness. Talked about 1,100.00 to fix it. I told them not to touch anything. When I picked up the car the service manager said a mouse chewed the wire in half. Took a 5 cent butt splice and a 3" strip of electrical tape to fix it. Joe |

Kate, I've got a Rat Terrier named "Jazz" feels the same way. A well placed pellet leaves them kicking before they "Give up the Ghost OR Jazz gets to them. She likes them in one piece kicking and shaking. She likes to finish the job. We work the potato Barns out here. A pile of Dog kebble; A couple of folding canvas Chairs, with arm rest. set-up about 25 yds out side the Barn door and a couple of Thermos of coffee and dogs on quick release ties. A nice relaxing afternoon shooting and companionship Never thought to take picture but will now; when we get a little longer days. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage http://community.webtv.net/tassail/Pneuma I used to get field rats in the barn once in a while when I had the horses...pitchfork worked well on them... |

When we lived in the burbs, we had one get in the house and run amok, I shot him. We now live in the middle of the woods, tons of squirrels all around , even some flying squirrels, (Rocky Jr. ? ) but have never caused any problems. One even sleeps in the barn, but has not damaged anything, yet. A chipmunk was chewing up Lisa's flowers so I shot him with bow & arrow. Scotty |

We started splicing wires, but the deeper we went into the various bundles, the more damage we saw. He had to have several harnesses replaced, along with the insulation, etc. It was a real mess. I offered him the first two squirrel tails for his mirrors. He had no sense of humor. Scout |
