Ebola rats! ![]() "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony.

I live in rural NYS and I've had a free-range cat for 19 years this november. He's castrated, but he just naturally became an outdoor cat. So loyal, so many birds. |

[link to cdni.wired.co.uk] Quoting: Face Palmer Sure they are cute, I trapped one once and then let it go. That little asshole burrowed under my compost pit, found a little rat girlfriend and multiplied at an exoponential rate. They ran out of room and invaded my house. Took me years, lots of decon and an AWESOME cat to get rid of that family. I think the cat caught more than any of my efforts combined, sometimes 2 or 3 a night. Its a sore subject with me lol. |

There are a couple of old time ways to deal with rat problems 1)Put two in a cage eventually they will get that hungry they will attack each other. The victor then has a taste for ratty. Let him loose and he will go kill and eat all rats he can find. 2) Put tar down on their runs, they get covered in it and bring it back to the den. Results in rat family all stuck together. |
