Last month my dad's new suv got the wiring harness to the injectors chewed up by a rodent... Checked the truck and there was a rats nest made on the intake and valve cover... #7 plug wire was also pulled off the plug too... And that's kinda hard... Another nest in the Land Cruiser glove box... We don't have a bunch of garbage or stuff either... So somethings going on... Neighbor down the road has some flock but not a lot... Everyone has bushes and woods... So lots a places to hide... Declared war... Got poison, traps, and spray repellent for the vehicles... I was worried about the neighbor cat who is slacking on their job... But he doesn't bother any of it... Smells it all and checks it out... Won't even step on the traps she steps around them... I also wondered if the rabbits or squirrels would get into it... One big cottontail smelled it and moved on in less then a minute... Squirrels haven't been around it... Some of the rats don't even have any interest in it... Coons haven't showed up on cams... But this opossum comes through like a wrecking ball... Eat's all the poison, trips all the traps... Just leaves a wake of carnage... He's about 9 ounces in over a few days if it's the same one... I can't tell... Not trying to get this guy but man I know I'd be in the hospital after that much... The rats won't go in the bait stations... So I have Decon pellets in a tray under the pallet of firewood and Tomcat blocks on the wire... The brown pellets in a tub... (forgot brand) They don't eat the brown pellets... They prefer Decon over Tomcat... The Tomcat repellent spray works too... The cat doesn't like that area either...
