Rat Damaged

[Double Venom]

OK, for no charge here are two tidbits of information;

#1 all rodents like to knaw/eat the insulation of all types of wiring BECAUSE the oil that the insuilation is made from is the same oil as Peanut Butter! Yes they will "die" for peanut butter!

#2 and the best hint is "Mothballs". Rodents of all types can not tolerate the smell. When we stored boats for the winter mice/rats etc., could and did thousands of dollars worth of damage to the wiring and the interiors. After "X" number of complaints an insurance agent told me to scatter a few Moth Balls in anything we stored. Problem immediately solved and have never had that problem again been nigh onto 15 years now....Catch them with peanut butter- make 'em run with Moth Balls!

Just another of my 2-cents worth...

I am going to have to try that.. MY wife told me that a few weeks ago as well but i had read somewhere that it is only a short term solution.. But you are speaking from experience that it works, so its worth the shot. I should go check my traps and see if I caught any more..

... and a lot of people hate the smell too. Use Bounce dryer sheets.
