RE: RATS!!!
had that happen a couple of years ago with pack rats. had a bucket of bird seed and had left the led off the bucket. not think much about it one day i was changing oil and air filter in my truck and pulled the air filter out and the thing was full of bird seed where they had been storing it. now i always make sure the lid gets put back on.

RE: RATS!!!
Man, you guys got me worried. I think I'm gonna have to take my fairing apart and look for critters! Well, I think I'm adding Hogtunes in a few weeks. I guess it can wait till then.
Jsans, I wish I had nice small little mice. I've got rats! One of em I killed last night, I swear, it was damn near as big as a squirrel. Went into the garage tonight, flippped the light on and damned if one didn't scurry out from under my workbench and up under my boat. I'm gonna kill me something tonight!

RE: RATS!!!
Had 2 of them get into the attic space, chewed up a bunch of stored gear. glue traps they just pulled around the room till they disloged em . I got some seriously large snap traps from the country harware store (asked the counter person for the biggest nasty **** traps he had, he smiled pointed to shelf and told me they would break my fingers if i wasnt careful lol) then i took some small cooked ham cubes and wired them onto the trigger so they couldn't steal the meat without really tuggin on the trigger, 12 hrs later, 1 almost severed in half and the other crushed half it's head on a glancing blow! problem solved with brute force!
Put the traps along the walls as they run along the walls, the dont like being out in the middle of the room unless there is a food source out there. Good hunting, get em before they get your gear!

RE: RATS!!!
All this rodent in the bike stuff has me paranoid now. I just ordered 25 glue traps on Ebay. $14.99 shipped for 25 of them.
I've never used a glue trap before. Do I have to kill the little suckers when they get caught?

We used to come in the next day and find 2-3 mice stuck to a glue board still alive. We then proceeded to torture them with our BIC lighters, burning them alive and watching them squeek and squerm. whoo whoo ha ha

RE: RATS!!!
Rat poison.....pure and simple (no kids/pets allowed where ever you put the poison!)
I store my bike in a large shed.......two boxes of poison have lasted........
I forget how long now). Squirrels and chimp munks count as rats by-the-way.
If you don't want them to come back.......a box of rat poison will send them puking.
