Rats

[DeeDubya]

Now that's what I'm talking about. A rat safari. I used to shoot them when I was a kid. Had an old single shot 22. I think the barrel was worn smooth so it held a good pattern with rat shot. The old barns on the farm had plenty rats, big rats, but they were clean rats. Not sewer rats like in NY. Of all the rats, I prefer Texas rats.

Yes, more rat pics.

We got rats in our attic. I fucking HATE rats and mice.

So every night I put out dog food for the dogs, and eventually they finish eating and go find someplace to sleep in the yard. I wait about 30 minutes, then I burst out the back door with my rat-catcher broom. They rush up the chimney; I use the broom to pin one of them to the brick, then with the other hand I use my rat-tongs to grab them by the tail.

Then it's whappity-whappityp-whap on the brick till they stop moving. I then submerge them in a bucket of scummy rain water (I keep another bucket of fresh water for the dogs) till they stop wriggling. Then its toss into the compost heap, and rinse and repeat the next night. Eventually I'll get most of them and the rest will move on to an less dangerous neighborhood.

I mused over using a gun, but my wife freaks out when I say I'm going to start plinking rats with my 22 rifle in the back yard. Awww crap, I never get to have any fun any more.
