# nicely, and as i was saying
bad rats
although it's quite a nice looking one, but it has to go. i now have traps baited with rolos in strategic locations in my garden. i'm told they love rolos. they also make good bait cos you can push them on the traps trigger thingy and the rat has to work to get it off, leading to clabbam and a rat with a head ache.

# it's not my food
it's the little dickie birdies food, i don't mind it so much although it/they will keep emptying my compost bins which is a pain, and orders is orders the rat has to go.

# i have taken precautions
i've put the traps inside the compost bins, and stuck the other one behind a sheet of board that covers up it's run from under my shed. that's the main reason i haven't and won't use poison.
the buggers managed to set off a trap last night with their bloody digging and left headache and rolo free.

# OH NOES!
Don't give the rats headaches, just trick them into leaving by throwing the rolos onto a bus or something.

Rats are hard as nails, and smarter than, oooh, 74% of the human population, I reckon. He'll have yer telly and DVD player whilst you're outside trying to balance Rolos on contraptions made of bits of wire, just you wait and see.

How rats get into your bedroom at night.

# i fear you may be right
but this is only day 2 of my battle against the rats, i don't count day one where i caught it sitting on a bird table and narrowly missed it with a church candle that i lobbed out of an upstairs window at it. one way or another they are going.

# It'll have taken that candle home
and used it to build a fake bomb, in order to hold up a sub-post office in a nearby town, you mark my words.

# I'd like you to know that I am totally with you in spirit
I got the same problem with Rats.
as someone suggested the other night, plaster of paris with icing sugar 50:50 mix.
Haven't tried it yet.
I'm going for the .22 air rifle method first...I've been lying in wait all day.
I had 1 shot but missed...I've zero'd the sights and I'm gonna wear cammo and boot polish tomorrow.
