I worked with a guy who doused one with scalding coffee then clubbed it to death. Very entertaining.Could have shot this one easily had I been armed with something other than a cup of coffee.

Did you come close to getting him once before? Where's the rest of his fluffy tail?Just went through this mess. First time ever. Got into my boat. Pieces of dog food in bacon grease held it on the pan of the trap to finally get it! View attachment 724744
YesSeriously?
Glad you got your intruder, but that’s no pack rat.Just went through this mess. First time ever. Got into my boat. Pieces of dog food in bacon grease held it on the pan of the trap to finally get it! View attachment 724744
If that’s not a pack rat, I have no idea what else would accumulate a 5 gallon bucket full of cat food, debris, chew things up and drag shiny objects to its lair then! Enlighten me please? I kept a minefield of glue traps, rat traps and the leg hold trap set for a week and caught no more.Glad you got your intruder, but that’s no pack rat.
OP- curious where you live?
I’ve fought true Colorado pack rats for years before I demoed and built a new house in the same spot.
If there’s one, there are more.
Protect your vehicle if possible, they chew the shit out of wiring.
Large glue traps, anchored somehow, seemed to work the best for me.
That, and my late Vizsla, Blue.
He’d destroy rats and mice, he lived for it.
You’re my boy, Blue!
They love to nest in piping. We used to tip up unused stored pipes in the equipment yard to dump them out and let the dogs snag them. They are not very fast and the dogs got them pretty quick. What a showThis sounds promising, I've got some old stove pipe too!
Bat-bombs, now rat bombs. I'm liking this.Get a tracking device and attach it to a small ball of string and leave it where the rat will find it .
The rat will take it to its den . Then start putting small amounts of Tannerite in the balls of string leaving them out also .
Do this for a couple weeks , maybe a month .
Then get a RC ignition device and another tracker , put them in the last ball of string , leaving it out .
Now all you have to do is wait until the two trackers are in the same place and pull the trigger .
Oh , and video it all , it should be Epic !
I suppose the crows like it, but that’s some nightmare sxxt right there.A livetrap on the front porch, and 22 birdshot..... Then toss them up on the roof to keep the dogs from getting them.
