Are you serious SM? Does this really work or are you on a wind-up?sandman67 wrote:fry bacon in a pan with plenty of hard fat such as lard or even butter.
eat bacon
cut foam ball, or foam from a chair or cushion, into small finger nail sized cubes. Soak in grease, and allow to cool and dry. this makes the foam bits shrink as the fat cools and hardens
scatter round rat hole.
rats smell bacon, eat foam bits
stomach acid dissolves fat, foam expands, rat dies.
no chemicals involved
I loathe killing anything, but when the little ratty things have comprehensively destroyed my hugely expensive cooker by nibbling all the wires (they got in through the back), and made nice little nests with the insulation I feel I have every right to kill the little b****ds.
Rubble (aka snake wrangler) does a pretty good job, and he's the reason why I can't put down rat poison. But when it's time for bed and the kitchen is being semi-destroyed by a well-meaning 25kg dog trying to catch an oversized mouse, my patience is running thin.
Anyway, it's a great excuse to have bacon sarnies (with a fried egg, of course
).VS
