Once upon a time I began to hear some scurrying under my home. Upon investigation I found signs of rats or mice via the dropping they were leaving. I also found that they were getting under the home because of a damage to a small screen in one of the vents in the foundation. So off I went to Home Depot to buy some Dcon rat poison. Bad idea. It killed some of the critters(turned out they were rats) but upon their demise they did not just conveniently lay out on the floor where I could retrieve them for disposal. Nooooooo, they would head off for the various nooks and crannies of the home where they could not be found, die and of course decompose. I need not go into the rest of the details, but I did have a rather upset wife and we had the windows opened for a few day. I then found the Rat Zapper. Shaped like a very small bread box, has batteries. You place food in it(I used some of my dogs Pedigree), the varmint enters for dinner, there are 2 metal plates on the floor of it--one positive, one negative, and ergo one crispy crittered critter. A small led light on the box illuminates to notify you that you have mail, you empty the box of your catch and prepare for the next intruder. I have no more rats(got 3 with this device) but I also have repaired the damaged screen. Do a Google search, but here is a description. http://www.ratmousezapper.com/ Roger Schaaf 300 B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 4:16 AM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Storage and Critter Control > Also dealing with a rodent problem.
