I would gladly do a free commercial for the folks who make screen patch kits. That stuff is great and super easy to use. It's screen in squares that's been dipped in hot glue. You just cut it to size, position it over the hole and hit it with a blow dryer. Presto, it works. You can tell it's a patch in the daylight but it nearly even looks good even then.
And so much for the peace accord. Our favorite problem returned last night and ate through the patch I'd put in the big screen. I mean, not somewhere else, he ate through the new patch. Well, part of the new patch.
I'm going to have to put poison on the porch and be mighty careful about it to make sure Kenny doesn't get into it. Put it out at night and take it back in in the morning.
If I put poison underneath the porch where it belongs, it'll kill all the rabbits. There would be a dead rabbit or three laying in everyone's yard and mass hysteria would set in - somebody's put out poison.

Betting is now encouraged and I'll bet the scumbag won't get in it. He's too smart. Smarter than the average (fill in the blank).Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Hmmm what to bait the glue trap barge with? Oh, I know. Guess which one of these sausage patties will be for Willard. Unit said, "I can't believe you're cooking for a rat."
And then, do I patch over the patched up hole and the new hole that he made over the patched up hole, just to make him feel like he's accomplishing something when he comes in tonight? Or do I just leave him the newest hole so he can walk right in? So much strategy involved...

I am a big fan of the 5 gallon bucket trap similar to Bob's description - but I use an empty aluminum beverage can with peanut butter on it as the "roll and swim" device, drill a hole in the bottom and use the pop top anchor hole in the top to put the rod through. For the mice I was hunting, a 5 gallon paint stir stick was a perfect "ramp". I did not use the seeds over the water, just water. Other friends with remote hunting cabins use antifreeze instead of water for obvious reasons - in our basement / crawlspace - the water alone is fine, my record haul at this point is 5 mice in a day or two.
Good luck pdub!There's always something new to learn.

These things don't come with a protective covering on them. They come in twos, folded together and when you unfold them, they are ready for business. Turned some upside down onto wax paper (silly me) to tape them together and thereby I ruined 5 of them and had to go get some more. Oh my gosh that glue. that glue loves wax paper, and anything else that gets in it.
Now is the time to bet on tonight's result. It's okay to lay odds if you want to. I'm going 16-1 odds on no rat in the morning..Charter member of the Turd Nuggets
