Default Battling wit' Luis Ratones

dammit Earl. Sometin been chewing on my plants. At 1st I thought I was being clumsy moving stuff and breaking it. We all know better. 6 bulbs I can break off a jenkinsii. 30 I cannot. Counted 30 leafs bitten off. Thats 2 years of work at least.

Put out some mouse bait. Checked on them today and didnt notice they been eaten any. So decided to clean up the greenhouse some and remove some cubby holes that nothing fit in but empty pots and junk...

Holy fReeking Moley!!! This was not a mouse in my greenhouse. Does the term" We going to need a bigger trap" remind you of a movie? Was no mouse but a big fat azzed field rat!!! Me and the Dog were going nuts running around chasing that damn thing. I didnt know hannah aka 'HAMBO' Queen of Licky Da Bowl Cleen, the rare German bred 'PootzanFartz'. is a Rat chaser. She was on the job. 80 lbs of rat chasing lap dawg. She thinks wiggling her tail all day is a work out.


Found the rat had been living up in the barbeque pit. Hmmm...Ratone ona Stick maybe? I smoked him out. What started out as a little cleaning today ended up being a 3 hour long major ordeal. I hate Rats!!! We got a field a few blocks down they just mowed and dug up and now we got urban invasion of the residents. So habitat destruction is taking place in our backyards and sometimes we dont even realize it until they come out and attack.

Anyway dont know how Im going to catch him yet but you can be sure I will post the corpse when I do ...Im liking the electric Zappers.. I do live in Texas after all..

I sprayed the greenhouse down with vinegar, It kills the scent trails. It might help but I want to see this big fence climbing Rkid chewin little son of Luis Ratone on a stick nice and crispy.

Moral of the story is you might not have them but you can safeguard against these invasions with some foresight...
