Has Anyone Else Had This Problem......

[eMsta]

So I get up this morning, run out to have a look at my car's fluid levels and this is what I find:

Whats that? Thats my beagle's dog food under the hood of my car! How did it get there? Well I first thought it was birds...but then one piece of information solved the case for me:

Thats Rat Poo!!!! Some how the rat(s) decided that they would hide the food in the RB25DET housing and then decide to mark their territory by leaving shit all over the engine!! Man, im soo mad!!!!!

I have thought about different ways to kill the rats - right now I placed rat poison out there. I have to buy more later on. If that doesnt work, Im thinking of calling the pest control. But eventually we will demolish this house anyway, so that will mean a violent end to the lives of the rat(s).

Has anyone else had this problem? How did you get rid of these little bastards??

[R33GOD]

hehehe thats some shit right there. one of the weirdest things ive seen

[mesmerized]

that's pretty f#cked up

where were you going to put the rat bait?

is the car parked in a garage?

reason why i ask, is because at my work we get ALOT of labradors and beagles that come in bcoz they ate rat bait (beagles as you might know will eat anything)

so obviously make sure your dog can't get to the rat bait

[Paradizzle]

lol i thought they were potato gems... ahh McCains you've done it again.

[R31Nismoid]

Do you live in a ghetto or something?

[abcent]

what the......

thats the most random strange thing ive heard/seen in a while.....lol

chuck some of the rat poison on top of you motor at night since that seems to be the place they like to go. Just remember to remove it again before driving it....

[eMsta]

We are in the process of cleaning out stuff for the hard rubbish collection (cleaned out the garage for the new car), so I have put the rat bait in a place where my beagle cant get to it....i suspect the rats might come from other houses....but cant be too sure. I traced more rat poo at hte edge of the carport/garage. There is no rat poo in the garage, so its probably somewhere outside.

And no ash - do not live in the ghettos....didnt even know there are ghettos in Vic

Oh....and i hope those bastards were hiding in my exhaust system, cos I had to take my car on the fwy today

[immortal^]

Sooo which is the rat shit??? the potatoe gem looka likes or the stuff in the last pic cause if its the potatoe gems, man .... thats some big muthafooken rats !!!! I would get a damn gun licence and those rat fooks

LOL

man, i do Pest Control for a living *waits for laughs*... its good f**king money hence it funded my R32 project.

theres plenty of ways to get rid of them.. whether i use a single wax block baiting option or go for the full horns and bait the dog food with a poison dust(make sure your dog is inside for a day or two while they go to it) then they will never come back again.

shoot me a PM if you want some work done, ill do half price for SAU and NS members

cheers

oh and btw, and this is no sales pitch, commerical rat baits DO NOT WORK... all you will find in them is basically salt and additives. which does nothing. the stuff i use will knock them out in one single dose and they will die off within a week

hahaahaahah that has to be the funniest shit i've seen all week. good thing you looked under the hood b4 heading out man. might have never gotten rid of the cooked dogfood smell. and yea like said above be careful putting poison around. even if the dog cant get to it make sure its nowhere near his food, water or that it cant be moved. also seal his food up a little tighter - make it harder for them to get in

Just wondering lol.

It was more a comical post than a serious one

thats no good at all... i had a mate with a rodeo. keept in in a double bay garage... they were getting in the engine bay and they ate through his headlight wiring, cost him a bit... probably best to go get some rat sack now...

[Al]

That sucks!!

Had a work mate, who lived near Emerald area and his neighbor had to get his 4 month old new car re-wired as a rat had used the wires and heat padding, in the engine bay, to make a nest.

I might take your offer man....but will have to wait and see. Because our house is old, one of those rodents did manage to get into our house. I spotted him running around the lounge while watching knight rider. It saw me. I saw it. Eye contact was made. It ran in one direction, I ran in the other direction. We killed it though with the poison - hasnt set foot in the lounge in a while. It takes about 7 days to die or something.

Oh and we got possums as well in the roof.

Yeah, im not leaving his dog food outside at night anymore. They can go hunt for their own damn food....spence's dog food costs me quite a bit already..... I aint feeding rats too. Actually, this could be the reason why his front paw is still infected....should call the vet tommorrow and find out.

Just wondering lol.

Ah...now it makes sense lol - my sis-in-law was saying that mt waverley and glen waverley are infested with rats or something.....but i cant see why that would be the case as the areas are pretty clean.

4drftn - yeah....we will see what happens this next week. I put the rat poison out there, hopefully with the beagle's acute sense of smell i would be able to track down some dead rodents in the next few days........If not, looks like Josh might have to make a visit to kill these buggers

its the brown/black shit in the last pic that is the real rodent shit......the other stuff is dog food. And yeah, if the "potato gem" look alike was rat poo...im packing my bags and leaving this suburb man lol

That sucks!!

How much did it cost to get his new car rewired btw? Wouldnt want that happening to us now as we just picked up the mazda from the dealership on friday.

Maybe the rats like the RB25 engine........but it also explains why me and my bro found a rotting apple core in the honda accord when we went to give it in for trade in....

[Al]

Would have definitely been a few thousand; obviously not covered by warranty.

[adznight]

Lol thats some funny AND weird sh|t! They'll be in there becuase it's warm

[Munkyb0y]

OMG CHEEZELS
