Rat Bastards

jdlev · Jun 21, 2011

Mice love grain. One of the factors I didn't think about when I went all grain

The rat bastards are everywhere in my garage now. When I brew, I see at least one. One of the rat bastards decided to declare war today. I picked up some plants to move them outside, and one rat bastard tried to run up my arm

I dropped it and shrieked like an 8 year old school girl.

This means war....

I lol'd, although I would have done the same thing.

Dang, I've got my grain just sitting in a closet. I'd better get some good containers for it.

Time to get a cat.

jbsg02 · Jun 21, 2011

And a pellet gun.

mlyday · Jun 21, 2011

Or a cat with a pellet gun.

jbsg02 · Jun 21, 2011

or laser cats

Malintent · Jun 21, 2011

he wants cats with friggin lasers on their heads.

but seriously, though... standard rat traps baited with peanut butter will take care of those bastards... and a good quality plastic bin with a nice tight lid for your grain supply.

Allstar · Jun 21, 2011

Or a snake.

jbsg02 · Jun 21, 2011

But then what are you gonna do about the snakes!?

E-Mursed · Jun 21, 2011

The little SOB's procreate cause they have nothing else to do but eat, sh*t and screw so you have to be diligent to the end or they will just regenerate their numbers. It's not a battle...it's a war.

Traps and poisons along the walls and keep your grains in metal. They can chew through anything if they really want to get to the other side.

I'm pretty sure I've lost masculinity points with every rodent encounter I've had

Get a mongoose.

Seven · Jun 21, 2011

Time to seal up my grains!

then when the mongeese (probably not a word) overrun the place, get a gorilla

unionrdr · Jun 21, 2011

turn on the car,close all the doors/windows,& gas the lil hoes! wait outside with the pellet gun (I have the original Crossman Powermaster) when they try to run for it. Bring friends with pellet guns & home brews. That's a redneck bbq!

lextasy23 · Jun 21, 2011

Kill them with fire.

ZamaMan · Jun 21, 2011

^ really big cats?

In a war of conquest you're going to have to move in, mate with and assimilate them. Continue to spread your ideology throughout the generations until all resistance has been eliminated. Total victory.

Fennis · Jun 21, 2011

Allstar · Jun 21, 2011

I like snakes so it wouldn't be an issue for me.

unionrdr · Jun 21, 2011

Maybe you need the help of the "inglorious Basterds"?

forget the mongoose, just get snake-eating gorillas, than when wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

unionrdr · Jun 21, 2011

I keep my DME,& other dry brewing stuff in the pantry. A field mouse got wind of this,& was burrowing in there to find that sweet stuff. My cat got hungry,went to the pantry,...When we got up in the morning,he was laying there with that mouse lined up,waiting for his brethren.

I feel like if we kept doing this long enough, we would get back around to the solution of "get a rat"

jdlev · Jun 21, 2011

I've decided for a scifi solution and am importing a terminator in from the future

unionrdr · Jun 21, 2011

My CPU is a learning computer. The more I'm around rats,the more I learn. It makes me a more efficient ratinator.

What do you do with a frozen gorilla? :drunk:

Transamguy77 · Jun 21, 2011

They can chew through anything if they really want to get to the other side.[/QUOTE]

And they will, the last Chevy dealer I worked at I had to replace a fuel pump in a Corvette cause a mouse chewed through the top of it causing it to pump gas right on the floor! $1300 to replace it!

Thaw for 30 minutes per pound, then prepare the same way you would a fresh gorilla.

Yep. You get an elephant to take care of the Gorilla and get a mouse to take care of the elephant.
