WTF?! Four legged trespassers! (1 Viewer)

[Texus]

Openend my hood this morning to find a mouse nest on top of my battery!!! material consisted of all that foam in front of the radiator (along the top), a bunch of grass/straw, and the coil loom wire wrap around my various extra light wires... also, lil bastid(s)' were chompin' away @ my rear bumper light wires (direct to battery)... bizare because I run this thing around atleast 3 times a day... it never really sits around in one spot that long...

I had something similar happen with an Accord I used to own. Nasty little bastids. Glue traps...I swear by them.

Good thing you found it - there was a post over on Pirate recently where they ate a 100 Series harness to the tune of $2500. Ouch.

Bastids.

Wow...

Holy sheeiiite.... My friend Mr. Browning would have a lil' face time with the critter that did that.... If I could find him...and if not... I'd have to take it out on every one of his relatives...but I'm just silly like that...

Make sure your intake is still sealed up tight. Sucking a mouse into a cylinder would make an intersting repair story.

I have a couple of geckos under the vents in front of the windshield. I guess that means there must be a good supply of bugs in there too...

You need a Peanut Butter Fun Wheel of Death. Basically an empty dry wall bucket with a board leading from the ground to the top edge of the bucket where a plastic bottle is suspended on a small metal rod from on side on the bucket to the ohter. Smear the bottle with peanut butter and fill the bottom with some vermit killer. Criiters climb up to get a little snack, venture out to the bottle, bottle spins over and dumbs them in the bucket.

Didn't work for my truck but keep my buddies hunting cabin free of mice.

Hah, that's a good one! I have the Mouse Paddle Wheel O' Death which is a spring operated affair that I found in the attic when we moved in (along with a nice bow and arrow set and a couple other minor things).

Anyhow, you wind it up with a simple handle and put a blob of whatever in the center. Mice come in the tube to check it out and when they step on a plate, get a sweet 3g spin and are tossed into a little room. It's good for up to 12 mice according to the label. Works great. Then you bring the trap to your buddy's house and let them all go in his garage. A week later, he's begging to borrow the Mouse Paddle Wheel O' Death and you get to negotiate a price such as making him mow the lawn, etc...

That is funny, Mouse Paddle Wheel 'o' Death. Amazing what you miss living in suburbia where there isn't even room for mice.

Ha!

That's great!!! excellent smithers.....excellent

check your air box also. when i bought my T-100 it had about 3lbs. of dog food in it from some squirrel or some other "four legged trespasser." The guy i bought it from couldn't figure out why it was so guttless so he cut me a deal.

Any ideas for raccoons in Palm Trees? Not sure if they are mating, fighting or what but these critters make a racket when they want to. Time for Navy SEAL mode:

The cheap way to keep them from chomping at your ride is to put on a mask and shoot the under side with pepper spray. NO JOKE! Will even stop pups from chewing on your deck furniture and shoes. Dries clear and wonk kill em'

my .02

Also keeps cats of your fences and other things.

Bounder,

A USN SEAL would kill 'coons in a Palm tree by waiting for a full on gale, 3am, tie one hand behind his back, spray himself with pepper spray just to get in the mood, strip naked, climb the tree with a hard on and a knife in his teeth, snag them one at a time and cut their throats without the others knowing it, then use the top limbs to build a shelter, gut them all and live on them while waiting for a week in case any others happen along.

Did someone call?

 

[IdahoDoug]

<snicker> Guess I should have added that when he left, the tree would be boobie-trapped and there'd be s*** buried 100 feet away in every direction.
