Whoa, was there a for real rat or was it a mouse or was it the cat LOL?!?!? I need to get some poison and traps out there if there was really a rat, I can handle mice but rats are super icky!!!!!! Sorry for the camera issues, I have it working again but cant make any promises at how long, my box is on its last legs so going to get a new one just to be safe. Hopefully my house cat doesnt knock down my contraption to hold the short in place LOL!

I HATE RATS!! I remember one time in a rental that I thought there was a mouse in the wall, so I set out a trap. The next morning, my son told me that I had caught a mouse, a BIG one! I didn't think anything of it, until I came out of my room. I had caught a rat, and it was MAD! And I was grossed out... Oh, I hated that place...

 

[Eagle]

Yes it was definitely a RAT and a big one too, if I see it again I will take a screen shot. Sorry if I woke you this morning Melinda but Cassie and I were worried that you were in trhe land of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and that the girls were popping out babies

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

That is totally fine, better safe than sorry! In that case I am going shopping when I run into town at lunch time, all varmits beware, Im gonna get em all!!!

 

Rats are just part of horsey business in Florida. My barn is slatted for ventilation -- so of course, they have access. Had to put up another feed building -- which the rats ate holes through to get in. Had to have my sons actually TILE the inside of the building to keep them out! I must have the only ceramic tiled feed shed floor and walls in Florida -- looks quite pretty -- except I'm the only one that see it. But it DID work -- no more rats in the feed!

 

[Eagle]

Yes I have them here at the house and in the barn. The idiot ex made me stainless steel containers for my feed which kept them out

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

The only feed they can get into is that which the horses are eating! I have my grain in plastic containers and I know they havent gotten into those...yet! Ive seen mice but hadnt seen a rat yet...ICK!

 

[Eagle]

Sending prayers Melinda for a safe foaling
