OT: F’ing Rats

[Matthew]

5 to 12k to repair the wiring?! That is insane!

When I was in high school we had a combine burn up due to mice chewing through the wiring. THAT was an expensive bill.

I absolutely loathe rats. They're the most vile creatures on the planet. Just disgusting.

rats chewed the wiring on my ex-GF's brand new HVAC system...cost her a bundle to have it fixed.

personally, I hate squirrels more...but they're just basically rats with a nice coat. so, same same.

little bastards frequently come out of nowhere and try to jump into my front wheel...have almost gone down trying to avoid their stupid kamikaze moves...

rodenticide is a good thing.

Rodents will eat Pex. I was getting ready to replace my plumbing with Pex, the new miracle solution! Options? I have more squirrels than rats.mice. I have a few large black snakes that seem to keep the rodents down.

You can buy a light that connects to the battery and flashes every few seconds. Rats apparently don't like the light as they are destroying your car. Pack rats are a huge problem in AZ. They chewed out AC wires and I know of many friends and neighbors that have had costly car repairs.

All my bikes have rim brakes.

My college freshman son came home with one Beta fish, two rats, two lizards, four tattoos, one pieced nose, and a very serious girl friend.

The rats are fun!

I am having a problem here with.... monkees. They invade apartments to steal food and may leave a mess behind. Last week a small dog tried to catch a monkey but fell off the sixth floor. Owner cried for days.
I´ve had three encounters already. i just shouted and the animal fled but a honey jar and a melon were stolen. My walls are signed w/ their handprint.
No one knows where they hide or what to do.

I wish...he arrived at age 36. Oh, I have a 6 YO daughter too. And I'm 55...and aging.

I feel like I’m reading the germ of a pandemic.

The fish... He actually responds when I enter the room.

And one of the lizards...
