    How do you treat your rats for mites/lice? I saw it mentioned before to treat them as a preventative, but how on earth do you do that?

    LOL! I'll bet he made you jump?

    I let the Controller at work borrow my Have-A-Heart trap because he saw one in his barbecue. He brought it to work the next day to let it lose in a field behind our building and I have to say it was the cutest rat I've ever seen. Not that I'd like to have a wild rat in my house, greenhouse or garage but he was really cute.

    Re: I have a Rat in the Shed

    Well ............... "Have a Heart" is not working. I think i have a heart! Anyway, He is too smart, and loves the food out of the hoppers more than snickers and peanut butter, which is insane to me, but i'm not a rat trying to survive in a shed. He has now started to chew the water bottles and has figured out that my shed has all the food, water, .......and if he could just figure out how to get in the racks, wives he could ever wish for.


    So ........ i had to step it up a notch! Check it out!

    If you or anybody else for that matter saw what happened when i saw that rat, lets just say you all would look at me in a different light.

    Wild Rats and My feeder rats are completely different!

    Re: I have a Rat in the Shed

    i forgot to mention he's tearing up all the insulation in the shed ...... this one rat has cost me like 80 dollars already, and thats not even adding in all the food he's stealing out of the hoppers ...... he takes it all and piles it behind the insulation. I hope he doesn't call his friends!

    come on electric rat zapper!

    Re: I have a Rat in the Shed

    Yeah, he sounds like he's pretty smart! We had a baby rat get loose in the snake room the other night and Raul wanted to catch him but I just wanted to put the Have-a-Heart trap out. After an hour I won and we caught the little booger a day later. He was really small so I wasn't sure he would be able to trip the trap but he did. The most amazing part of this story is that another one got loose last night and I was informed that it's happened quite a few time. Seriously, what was I thinking when I agreed to his hobby?

    Re: I have a Rat in the Shed

    interesting trap lol.. i wonder how humane that thing is compared to killing rats with co2.. might be a good thing to have when you only need one rat killed..
