The Raven Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well i think its a rat. Opened up the mrs renualt to top up the oil and was greeted by a shed load of food stuffed into the oil cap hole and some tissue paper. I guess its rat infested, although i always thought that rats didnt store food? Anyone shed some light on this. What ever is in there is getting a dose of farm grade rat killer when it goes for a midnight snack. More worrying is my supra has been sat......for months...not far away. I think it will be safe however soon as they work out its an N/A and the other rats tell it to move into a real SUPRA it will leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 - You crack me up dude!

The Raven Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yup, they have been storing food in the engine bay. There is a plastic cover, that has a 2 inch dip where the oil cap is. There was a shed load of food stuffed in it. Shes now upset and refuses to use the car.....................Ho hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame her, image driving along and then out pops a toasted rat from under the footwell Best way to solve the problem, get a cat... one that isn't a scaredy cat though Failing that, heard they don't like moth balls so you could put them in the engine bay. Another thing is you could wee in the engine bay, but can't remember if this was for rats or cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Right il ask her if im allowed to take a piss in her car. I reason the rat/mouse/unknown rodent is doing it anyway right? Joys of living where i do i guess, horses, and corn fields. I must have been in there around a week or so i pulled some cake out that i throw away 4 days ago. So that means its been in the bins too. The only way forward is mass genoside of all small furry things with tails within a 100 meter radius of the house via weapons grade Poison. The down side to this plan is if it dies in the car the stink will be awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 HAHA, actually i should not laugh. Best of luck no poison anything will do the trick, problem is once the smell is in your engine(piss etc) and you poison/jet wash they will always be so many more rats. They will track the smell and start nesting again, i had this problem for 4 years, I tryed everything and i became so evil i started too kill. The more i killed, the more came, the more they pissed, the more they nested and i got more fustrated. In the end, the carcoon system saved my engine and the rat problem.

The Raven Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Right. I figure its a mouse issue not a rat. What ever happens i will kill anything stupid enough to eat the stuff im putting down. Lets see how the little bugger likes the car tomorrow. I have now moved the car to another part of the drive, In a vain hope it will find the hay barn and decide its better to live there. I cant afford to carcoon all the cars in the drive.

jazz1 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Good luck they are deffinatly rats, try the humane rat cages by big cheese. Use peanut butter to trap them and that way you will know if it is a mouse or rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 The issue with the rat trap idea is i will catch one anyway. I know there are rats about if i put that trap down it will catch one. Like wise with foxes, hawks, and all manner of animals. Cant be hard to see a sodding rat can it? They are big sons of bitches. I will take a torch and have a looky tomorrow. I will take a picture tomorrow if the replace the food store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 How do you do that without creating a short and blitzing every breaker in the house? remove the breakers and replace them with m12 bolts. I was joking obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 No point killing them honstly, i tryed so much and i just wasted more money. Like stated my car cover luckily solved the issue, the only way you can keep them away is surround the whole car with big planks off wood and so much rat glue.
