RATS

[Larsky]

No, not messageboard rats.

A family of what appears to be Norway or Tree Rats (really long tails) has taken up residence under one of our Juniper bushes. There's little ones, so they're breeding. They need to go.
I want to kill them without collateral damage to the other critters. Thinking of the smoke bomb nerve gas, but I need to locate the burrow.

Suggestions?

Secret if NINH coming back to HBO-Max? If not, call an exterminator and put out some rat bate. The ecology of your yard will recover.

Find the burrow. Flood it with a hose and when they start coming out shoot them with a 22 semi automatic....

.40 snake loads would be fun.

Sounds good if you don't live inside city limits.

One or two hungry feral cats in the area ought to do it.

Buy a good pellet rifle.
They are quiet and can easily kill a rat with a head shot.
It's fun and Mrs. Larsky will think you're the great white hunter. ...

Buy a flamethrower.

Buy a cat, dunk him in radioactive ooze, and teach him ninjutsu.

Build one. Great project and teaches attention to detail and the value of quality components.

That or stick a 16 oz bottle of tannerite in the burrow and shoot it setting it off. Boom! = no rats

HAHA! That reminds me...

Years ago, when the kidlins were all still at home, I threatened James' life if he didn't get rid of those garden/lawn destroying moles.

We didn't own a gun at the time.

Yeah... oh oh.

It was our bright idea to have James be the chief of drowning. As the poor lil beast came out of the hole, it was my and the brats job to do something about it, lol!

What a cluster fuck.

I had a shovel to bean it in the head. Somebody had the fishing net. One son had a ball bat. It was like that. Our youngest refused to arm herself but said she'd yell mean names at it.

I'm still not sure why what happened next happened but no one did jack. Some kind of herd panic I guess That thing burbled up out of that hole a coughin and afartin and we collectively leapt into the air, did a pivot while still in the air and took off like we'd been tasered in the ass, and our shrieks were heard 47 miles away.

James asked us what the hell was wrong with us, lol!

Laid some poison. Rats gone.
So are the chipmunks and rabbits. Bummer.
