[QUOTE="EhlerDave, post: 2812419, member: 2564"] Along with mice we have these fellas under the house, under the hoods of our cars and in everything you can think of. The bean field next to us is just full of them. I mowed part of the yard one day and started by mowing a square then cutting it smaller each pass. I had a pistol with rat shot. I did not think I would need a belt fed weapon but when they got to a point of running I KILLED 17, yes not a typo before I ran out of shells in my speed loaders, More were hit but made it to the taller grass or back to the field. I am now catching mice as fast as we can set traps. For the rats I have just said screw it and I have been putting steel jaw traps under the house. I had been baiting them but found that with no bait and placed next to the skirting the rats just walk into them My wife does not like the idea of skinning a bunch of them for a vest. :) We do this each year, these big hairy tailed rats are new, just started showing up last year. They are much larger than the normal field rats we have had forever. The picture of the rat is on a 2x4 hand railing, gives an idea of its size. I have killed more than I can count when mowing and I thin up to 11 now from under the house in traps. I have even caught a few in the live trap. A pellet to the head and out they go.
