Sospiri Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 There are numerous rat/mouse traps on YouTube, some rather cruelly involving high voltage and done for the amusement of the Asian poster, I think. But the best involved no electricity, just a plastic bucket and about three spare bits of wood. They all seem to be using corm or maize as a bait. I've had mice between old lath & plaster walls before now. All you hear is the patter of tiny feet, and they are not easy to get rid of, but hours of amusement for a hungry cat!

I've had mice between old lath & plaster walls before now. All you hear is the patter of tiny feet, and they are not easy to get rid of, but hours of amusement for a hungry cat! Given what I estimate to be the gravity of a rat infestation problem, cruelty, is only a secondary consideration. I am not happy about this... but in my opinion it is a matter of survival. I like smaller rats, and love mice; but a friend who dealt with these critters strongly warned me, urged me.. they can take over a home if not dealt with in a decisive manner. As I said before, I met two unrelated people, on the same day, whose experience, sincerity, confidence abour the method and fact they both spoke of the same method, convinced me.. bait rats that have a poison that creates insatiable thirst, will eliminate them. I am not happy about this... I saw the bucket of water... "walk the plant" method.. and they drown in that method, unless you use no water, in which case you have to carry a pail of live rats a great distance , ONLY to have them invade another persons home. I wish there was a painless way that is practical. Quote You don't have ideas, ideas have you We see the world, not as it is, but as we are. "One mans food is another mans poison".

Mark Schmieder Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I feel for you. In my family, my siblings and I try to avoid harming animals if we can keep from it. But one sister was almost killed by a bear last year on her farm, right after it mauled and partially ate some of their farm animals. And when pests that can become a permanent problem, such as large rats, materialize, it is difficult to find non-cruel methods that will work. My sister kept small white lab rats as pets a number of years ago and built a huge Lego castle for them to play in. But those are completely different from the large rats that tend to take over homes, attics, sewers, etc. Also, a bit too big for cats to take on successfully -- at least with regularity.

I distinctly recall Jack Paar Steve Allen etc. Not to mention Abbott Costello and my heroes Laurel and Hardy. I know them all. My rat problem is solved, or is in the process. For your entertainment [video:youtube] i confess, yes - i was joking around. I didnt care about your rat stories as rats in your wall have zero to do with keyboards and hence you were hijacking our beloved forum for utterly and absolutely unrelated personal issues. Like if I came her to ask fellow keyboard players how to solve the leak in my toilet that causes it to run briefly every 5 minutes. I replaced the stopper, which is the normal source of gradual leakage causing the tank fill level to go down and trigger the float to re-initiate a refill periodically. But alas, that did not solve the issue. To further complicate, i tried to turn off the adjacent water valve but when i fully close the valve, it does not completely shut off the water supply. So instead of shutting of the main water supply to the entire house so i can solve the toilet issue, i have simply stalled any progress at all. But i would not think to bother keyboardists with my toilet problem. Im not a fan of L&H or A&C for that matter, but I do like a good joke. I liked the one about how Laurel and Hardy begat the Letterman show. I only asked as I had hoped you would provide further humor by elaborating on the misguided theory. Good day, RatMan.

Mark Schmieder Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hmm, a plan for solving cat constipation might best be laid while it is not on an expensive rug. :-) Great photo! Too bad that "monster rats" -- the type that infest homes and sewers -- are a bit too tough as fighters for cats to be very effective. Just as with possums. I've seen some brutal neighbourhood fights between cats and possums (and also against raccoons), and the cat did not come out well...

Mark Schmieder Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hmm, that might be the real reason my younger sister stopped keeping lab rats as pets.

You took it up a notch with me, then went insane with L&H begat Letterman delusions. i merely followed along. As to your question, i suppose no and yes, everything in life is in some way selected, we cant consume or be involved in everything. I guess I base it on the frequency of OTs and how far O their Ts may be. You are a more frequent violator of OT etiquette. Thats just fact, for good or bad. Now do I mind? no, why would i.

I-missRichardTee Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I used the word rat boy in response to RatMan. I have never heard the phrase RatMan before. So ratboy, just popped into my head. I bring this up, because after using the phrase ratboy, I feel I have heard it used before by a particular person, or maybe a show, or somewhere. For the life of me, I cannot recall where I heard Ratboy, before.. and I associate with something humorous. The only guy in town who uses the word rat is a great dance drummer... I think I will mention his name. WIllie Kellogg. He is not in his prime now, but when he was, he was a great dance based, blues, rock based drummer. He regularly has used the phrase rat F*** ever since we met. Verb: To rat F*** someone. I guess it is a "boys will be boys" kind of thing.. It never sounded malicious exactly. I always got a kick out of him telling me stories ( he is a great story teller ) and among his stories, Rat F, would come up. Anyway, I do not know where I heard ratboy, before. Howard Stern would seem likely, but I cannot connect Stern with that phrase. It is bugging me, I cannot recall my association with that silly phrase. Didn't you think it nicely fit, with your referring to me as RatMan? Do you happen to know the phrase ratboy, have you heard it before? The sound of it, makes me chuckle.

I-missRichardTee Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 So, no one has ever heard that phrase rat boy? It's really bugging me... because, unlike rat man, which I've never heard, I could "swear" I've heard rat boy before. The name itself, rat boy is of zero significance, but the memory aspect is what is on my mind. Have you ever thought you had heard a word before yet could not connect the word with where you heard it? I am speaking about an odd word, not a dictionary word.
