    set off a belt of firecrackers in it and leave the doors cracked. If the sound doesnt get them moving the smoke will.

    You cat lovers will love it when one of them uses your interior for a scratching post.

    They aren't great ratters either. That's why the Irish bred Rat Terriers back in the day.
     
  12. I tried this last year. I ended up with a bar of soap with bite marks. Don't think it worked too well.
     
  13. I picked up a snowmobile from my brothers woods been there a few years. We dragged it down and out of the woods with his quad probably about 2000 feet. We loaded it up in my truck I drove to the car wash and power washed every part of it. Got home unloaded it and dragged it into the garage. That night i was pulling the engine and disconnecting the coolant hoses. Look down and guess what was looking right at me?? A mouse!! After all the moving and banging and power washing he was still in there! He hid some where I couldnt find him.. I finished pulling the engine and Stopped working on it.. The next day I went out in the garage and was eating my lunch and it was real quiet. I heard little crunching sounds coming from under the hood of the snowmobile. I peeked through a vent in the hood and there he was still in there!!! So i just opened the garage door and dragged the sled outside and left it there until i sold it and that was this past winter when we were getting hammered with snow and real cold temps... So dont count on them bailing out on the ride home. A car has alot more hiding spots then a snowmobile...

    Possum's can be an issue also. Had a friend that brought home a car, put it in his garage, went in for the night. Came out next morning to find his garage was torn up by the possum.

    Very true my brother has a 1936 buick that has been sitting in his driveway for a few years. He went to move it and there were a family of racoons in it and they absolutely destroyed his interior. So he took the 3 babies out and turned them over to the D.E.P.

    Snap traps! Every winter the little bastards want to hang out in my house. I starts seeing mouse turds on my countertops...itsssssssTIME! The wife is always dragging home some new crap from the store, this year it's snap traps with a huge plastic cheese thingy where you are supposed to put the bait..looks good for people who think that mouse hunting is easy, and mess free..just kill the mouse and put it in the waste basket..hardest part will be to get the trap in the wastebasket without touching the nasty thing..oh yeah, she brought a couple of somethings that look like a hockey puck with a whole in it..hmmm the little mousey is supposed to crawl in the hole to get the bait, and the puck rotates and traps the mouse inside. Oh, how cute, you don't have to see or accidentally touch the little mousey. I humor her and make a big fuss about the new shit she has wasted good money on. After she leaves I go to my stash. I have to hide mine because she thinks mine are nasty. I have pulled my traps out of the trash more than once after the wife tossed them with a dead bloody mouse in the jaws. Mine have a big "V" on them..it stands for Victor, the absolute best snap trap made. You can barely read the V, many years of bait and blood and crud have long since obscured all that. Peanut butter is rubbed all over the wood and then wiped off, a small amount is pressed into the "curl", keep pushing it in there until it squishes out the center hole...oh yeah, I can't keep from chuckling because I am going to kick their freeloading furry asses. Now comes the key part..the hair trigger setting, put the rod in there too deep and they can jump on it and nothing will happen. I make sure as I flip over the bail that if it goes off it won't blap my finger. Holding my breath I move the rod to barley catch the bail bar. Using two fingers I carefully slide the trap right next to the plasty cheesy looking sissy trap. It's on..time to wait for the BLAP.
     
  20. I went to capture an OT parts car for a muscle car I was restoring for a fella. When I opened the hood on it before I hauled it to the shop a big ass rat pulled a switch blade on me and said, "give up the burger mang!!" I quit carrying a cheese burger in my overhauls that very day.

    I was in a hurry so I used the .22 revolver approach on those buggers. Killed 4 of 'em and the speedo before I decided to pull it up on the trailer.

    That still gives me the willy's. :eek:
     
  21. Years ago mice were running across the dash of a parts car I was driving home, should of had a cat riding shotgun. I've heard peppermint oil will rid a vehicle/trailer of rodents. How about some big ass speakers wide open playing heavy metal, I'd run!

    I second a Terrier as the "organic" method. Give one a whiff of the vehicle and you won't be able to get it to leave until the job is done. Stupid cats just torture rodents slowly to death because it amuses them. Terriers are killing machines that were bred for the purpose for farming and will even drop the carcass off in a convenient spot for you.

    I bought such a car. I opened the doors, trunk and hood then used a powerful leaf blower.
    They exited quickly. Good idea to pull the headliner down and hit it too.

    Better yet, an endless loop of your favorite rap classics- but then your neighbors would throw moth balls, dryer sheets, snakes, lavender, bleach, leaf blowers, cats, Jack Russells and grenades- at you :eek:
