Rats in my yard

Outdoor dog feeding is why my neighborhood has rats.

Plenty of traps. You have to position them along walls near the food where they're going. Only way I could get rid of the ones in my apartment a couple years back was to kill most in a trap, after about 11 I didn't see them anymore. And having stray cats hanging around helped too.

There is NO way these bastards can sustain themselves off of what they find in my dog's bowl. I live on a corner lot. Neither the neighbor behind me nor the one beside me has an outside dog. The same goes for the one neighbor across the street. I'm pretty sure there's at nest in the base of one of my trees. It's a nice magnolia so I'm not willing to trade it for them.

Get a cat that's half wild

Go to the pound and get a couple of Cats... They will rid the problem with the quick unless the rats decide to move inside your house.

This sounds like a great excuse to buy these...



and this...

this reminds of a horrible memory last year. My old neighbor left her backyard area like crap. High grass, pile of wood they never burned. It was something we didn't know about until we had already moved in

Anyway one time I go to turn the grill on for dinner and a fricking rat is inside my grill eating dried up bbq sauce. He climbed in from underneath, just enough room for that bastard. As soon as I opened up the lid it scared the everlivingshit out of me and he darted out the way he came and took off like lightning.

I bought some traps and killed two but it was never the one I saw in the grill.

I didn't want to get rid of my grill but I didn't want to use it again so I stuffed cardboard into his entryway to keep it out (was planning on giving it away). Someone comes to pick it up and that little fricker got in somehow and was now on top of the racks eating bbq sauce again. I lifted it and again it scared the crap out of me and instinctively threw the lid down at the same time that rodent was jumping out and I caught its tail in the lid and he was hanging.

I cannot stand rodents and it makes me want to yack to this day thinking about it. I went and grabbed a trekking pole and was screaming at that thing while I beat it dead.

Finally called the health dept on this woman and showed her the pic and told her thanks for making have to spend money because she was too lazy to do a damn thing with her backyard.

RANT!!!!!!!

I'll post a pic from my phone if I still have it. :yack: :yack:

The only good thing about the whole deal is I love my new gas grill....before you crucify me I have a charcoal one as well. Gas is for the days we need to get the show on the road. The only meat that ever goes on my stove is fried chicken/fried pork chops/ground beef.

They used to get in my gas grill ALL the time.
