Pack Rats
« on: October 27, 2007, 02:07:13 PM »
Friend of my other half said that his sister in Texas uses something to keep pack rats away and it works pretty good, but he didnt know what it was and hasn't found out. Anyone from Texas with a pack rat problem know what this is???

No rat problems here. Im sure thats due to the voracious pride of cats in my barn that will take down small deer.

I threw something away once.  Needed it within the hour.  Never again.  :(

Try a 12 gauge with #4s.

Well actually I have this. It's a Land Shark!!!! She's a skanky little dog that eats, chicken poop and steals cat poop out of the litter box. We rescued her from Rocky Point, why I dont know, but oh well she's here now. Her score is 5 mice, 3 pack rats and some assorted birds. She great for the ones that get inside the backyard, but it's the ones outside the wall that I want to deal with.

Love that Land Shark.  Had one like it, a fabulous Parsons Jack Russell terrier for 15 years.  Smart, energetic, loyal, brave, fun loving, disciplined, clairvoyant, a perfect living creature.
