made a nest under the hood in my race car. He at a wire or wtwo but just for the lights. He hid and the car and we went for a little ride throught the woods at 80 MPH. He jumped out from under the dash and went in the cowl at about 60. I guess he's still in there. Boy does he have a story to tell.


Can't wait to find the li'l bastage.


...I've got a little suprise for 'im :devilgrin:
 
We are totally against animal cruelty, Billy, so don't let him bite ya!

Dave :thumbsup:
 
had a squirrel eat my wire, had the truck taken to the dealer to get repaired...
Where's the pellet gun when you need them...
 
had chipmunks eat the wiring on SWMBO's beetle - grrrr
 
I can't begin to tell you how much rodent damage I've repaired in 15 years of being a tec.
My saying always was, "The only thing worse than finding a dead mouse in a blower motor, is finding half a head mouse in a blower motor."
But in reality it was usually the hand full of wiggly pink jellybeans in the middle of the wad of nest I just pulled out of somewhere inconvenient, that made me cringe.
Rubber gloves, and wash up really good afterward. Those things carry nasties.
 
Old timey mouse trap with peanut butter for bait.
Tie the trap to a string and tie the string off somewhere to prevent the varmint from crawling up to an unreachable
place to die.
I have to do this yearly with a boat. Dead critter down in a hull is stinky and unreachable.
Now days I just pull the string and presto....dead varmint.

Same here.

I'd usually soak th' wiggly pink jellybeans in a can of gasoline to disinfect 'em. :devilgrin:

THEN go scrub.
