I still have about 1/2 gallon of Clordane. Nasty stuff, but it works.

Me to but I am not squirting it around for stuff like this.
It is best in places where you are sure it will be sequestered for 30
years. The last time I used it was inside a wall that would be closed
up.

Trust me, he is still around, with plenty of friends. There is a
formula for rats. If you see one at night, you have a bunch. If you
see one in the daytime, you have a ****load. Rats are tough and it is
real hard to get rid of them.
I haven't seen a Rattus norvegicus here but we have lots of Rattus
rattus (AKA roof rats, tree rats, fruit rats or "palmetto" squirrels).
I know better than to think I can eliminate them but I do keep a bait
station in the boat house. Based on the bait I go through, there must
be a lot of dead ones somewhere ... or they have developed an immunity
to it. I have had them chewing up the boat wiring from time to time.
If one gets into the console, it is a mess. The last time it was my
fault. I did not have the door closed tight and it popped open.
I have also had them hiding on the boat and Mr Ed flushes them out.
That is exciting until they jump in the water. A rat running around
being chased by a 112 pound dog. Auggie Doggie was better at it.
Occasionally he could catch it, kill it and bring it to you. Louie
(the dachshund mix) was deadly on them. If they didn't get overboard
right away they were dead.

On the old farm place I run though a lot of bait too. concerning immunity yes I suppose it can happen. I switch brands ever so often for that possibility.

There's no immunity from a snap trap.

I'm thinking I need a Mini-14 so I can sit on the front porch and plink chipmunks.

We had snap mouse traps and they tripped and no mouse. Went to rat trap
and was a roof rat, that was to big for the mouse trap.

I tried them and never caught a roof rat.
I had a lot better luck with the glue traps and this live trap was
very good.

very true, but that's one at a time . I want murder by the masses.

Besides, the old saying is true. " the early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese..."

One got into the storage compartment of my camper. Aftter seeing
evidence I set a trap baited with peanut butter. Got the sucker
within 12 hrs. Had no evidence thereafter. One rat can do a lot
of damage if given enough time.

Canadians are some of the most generous compassionate people on earth.
We brought in 25,000 Syrians displaced by the fighting over there.
That would be the equivalent of y'all bringing in a quarter million.
So...just how many did you bring in?

Do we need to build a northern fense too? Looks like it.

We took in 15 million Hispanics but as my Ontario friend says, we
always did get first choice.
