Your post is most amusing, wrong but amusing. If you were to deal with rodents of any kind on a daily basis you would know that your facts are way off the mark. I have been in sites where the rats actually came out when humans were present. They would chase a rock if you threw it, much like a dog would chase a ball. There were dogs tied at 18 feet intervals all around the house each with 8.5 foot chains as not to reach each other. The dog piss was horrible but the rats simply burrowed under the dogs and made their way to the house and truck. They were living down inside the intake manifold of the truck entering through the carburetor and eating the wiring as to render the truck useless. A Toyota dealer suggested that the truck be scrapped due to the damage and danger with the vehicle. The owner bought a new vehicle only to have her warranty voided three months afterwards due to the rats gnawing on the wiring and shorting out the cars computers. I have never seen moth balls work for rodents. You must have seen that episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe went with Vexcon, or better know as excon, and they said they were going to put out moth balls to deter snakes and rodents. They also said you have to be in touch with the moon and stars in order to understand Pest Control. What a crock of shit. Where do you get that Bitrex stinks? It is in many of the products we use today to keep dogs and cats and other non-target animals from eating it. It isn't the bitrex you are smelling it is another ingredient of whatever you are using. Now if you said you tasted it and it was nasty, that I would believe. By placing out bait in bait boxes you are not attracting more rodents you are killing the ones that happen across them. I never recommend using cheese on traps because that is a cartoon myth, rodents don't really even like cheese. Peanut butter is not good either because it contains oils that will aid in the rodent escaping. Use seeds, or even cotton to bait your traps with. You will be much more successful and its cheaper. -- tim@oneSNAKEpest.com Capture and release the SNAKE to email me. www.onepest.com
