I had a rancher tell me one time to raise the hood of my truck so they didn't have dark places in the engine compartment to chew. Oh, I heard and tried that too. Didn't phase them much since their handy work is done mainly at night. Also, there's is the rain/dew issue for the truck engine. Get a battery powered LED light, should last for months at a time and stick it under the hood. I've heard that the light thing only affects pack rats though. Hmmmm, didn't try that one. Pack rats were my problem....

Release several dozen rattlesnakes. eventually some kind of snake is going to take up residence, if you don't get rid of the rodents. I agree Out west if you have rats you will have rattlesnakes The closer the rats the closer the rattlesnakes What a combination

The only thing worse than finding rats or mice in your trailer is finding a snake's shed skin in your trailer!

The only thing worse than finding rats or mice in your trailer is finding a snake's shed skin in your trailer! Guy on our lease opened his trailer up after being vacant for 4 months. Not only had the mice/rats had a party but a big snake came slithering out from under the bed and disappeared in the bathroom. Him and his wife refused to sleep in it for the weekend.

Victor electric traps. Poison is great, until your dog eats a dead rat.

Barn cats work incredibly well. But then you have a cat problem. I'm not sure which is worse.

Feed them a couple times just to keep near by and they won't be going anywhere. That is the way my grand parents controlled rats in their sheds.
