I put the traps out for 2 successive nights and each time one of them was tripped but no rat. I'm pretty sure they weren't set off by anything else and as such I clearly was not winning the battle.
So I brought out the heavy artillery. The "Giant Destroyer" It looks like a stick of dynamite but rather than going ka-boom it releases sulfur gas. Yesterday I plugged all the holes and lit and inserted 2 of them. The end result?
This!
And this!!!!!

FUCKERS!
Miguette suggested it was game, set, match to the rats, but I have just begun to fight! Actually after my original disappointment I'm glad the battle wages on.
Today I collapsed all the tunnels they have out side of the periphery of the coop (I think), and tried the gas trick again. I have the camera set up and the traps again, this time baited with peanut butter. Let's see what the morning brings. I can't wait!
Love

Your adventures are WAY better than mine the last while! Keep us posted.
ReplyDeletePete, you make me freaking LAUGH!!!!! Love the Battle of the Rats post. Just what you needed, a distraction to take life a little lighter and enjoy the moment even if airs at the expense of rats.
