Trapping rats.

[waiting hawk]

I hear ya Barry. I love to blast a rat but capture one and shock it with things or put a cigerette out on his little booty aint my thing. Now for politicians on both parties OH HELL ya thos are different animals.

Good lord so much anger over a rat.

We had one in our house in Carlsbad, and I kept putting stuff out on the trap and the wile sucker was able to get the cheese or Peanut Butter every time. I actually think the feller got trapped inside when the pest control closed off a vent. He was climbing the back of the stove and grabbing stuff like if I left some cheese out after cutting off a hunk.

Finally I took some string cheese and tied it around the trap so that he’d need to tug on it to get it off and sure enough, Whammo, and the damn trap didn’t quite get him. So I have this poor rat thrashing all over the counter bleeding and yelling with the family sleeping. I had to hit the little thing with a hammer and it wasn’t easy. Super glad that the crap was finished but seeing those little eyes looking at you as you get ready to bash him was tough. However he couldn’t have lived in that state, a leg was crushed and the side of the head was hit.

Another time I whacked a Raccoon in the garage. Our rental in Dallas had an attic Raccoon issue and it was really scaring the toddlers. So I set out a can of Tuna and sat in the garage. Now I assume a Raccoon would destroy a house cat in a fight, but my huge ass mean cat came out there with me (garage with attic door down). Interestingly the cat never stopped eating the tuna. He looked up saw the raccoon and went right back to eating tuna. Do coons and cats have an alliance? That could been the wussiest little yipper dog on earth and my cat’s hair would have been raised and the cat screaming and hissing would have started. However with the coon, nothing. All I had was a 9-iron when I finally shooed away the cat, and didn’t catch the coon flush. Not proud of it, but I had crying babies and one with asthma that completely went away after moving to the midwest. One exterminator trapped one, and shot him with a 22 right in front of me but the next time out he said it was one of gods creatures and dropped him off somewhere in the wild. Then the coon trap kept getting the neighbor’s cat, so we gave up and moved.

Could try mixing a bit of Nitrogen-Tri-Iodide and placing it along their trail before it dries. Put a little peanut butter there too…[/quote]

Sadly nitrogen triiodide detonates spontaneously if left alone for a few days.

PETA crap and not indicative of what most people think.

[quote=walterwhite]How much suffering is involved w rat poison? I’d imagine it’s similar to a glue board for pain, probably not panic.[/quote]

Most rat poisons pretty much just make them sick and thirsty, and they die in their sleep. The pest control techie I spoke to a while ago says the poisons they use dull/numb them.

[quote=walterwhite]Would you want to punch a guy laying out Ray poison stations? What if they’re not in buildings just doing their rat thing out of doors? Why not use the least suffering model available, set snap traps everywhere? [/quote]

No, I wouldn’t… because the guy isn’t just sitting there torturing an animal, intending to hurt it for his own satisfaction. I oppose any form of poisons outdoors because other animals will get to them and it makes more trouble than it solves. Snap traps are good, but sometimes they are not viable when you have a mass infestation. Sometimes, unfortunately, poison is the only solution.

[quote=walterwhite]They are pretty grim though, I’d say, we treat each other worse.[/quote]

That’s not an excuse.

[quote=walterwhite]I do think a public fight I’d more likely to break out over public mistreatment of an animal than of a human. Perhaps that’s as it should be.[/quote]

That’s probably because people view animals as more defenceless and vulnerable, like children. Besides which, I can’t agree with you considering the amount of charities helping the poor and needy as opposed to the number of humane animal societies/shelters.

[quote=walterwhite]I am not too worried about the rats feelings. Perhaps I should consider them.[/quote]

You don’t need to be too worried, just make sure you don’t torture them needlessly when killing them. They’re not inanimate objects, so I think method of death should be considered.
