Rats!

[Dinner]

I have a rat problem in my storage shed out back. I was keeping a box of unused bird seed for my bird feeder in there and it seems a colony of rats has taken up residence. I've thrown away the bird seed but the ****ing rats have left a horrible mess as seeds are thrown every where, boxes have holes chewed in them, and the whole place stinks of rat droppings and urine. I'm letting it air out a bit and then I'm going to go sweep everything out but it looks like several of the books and items I was storing out there are now damaged.

Luckily it isn't attached to my house but if they're in the backyard...

QFT. A year ago, the winter had been really wet, which resulted in a rat population explosion in the nearby park. The houses along the periphery were invaded. It took months and about a dozen or more rat traps to get rid of them. This year hasn't been so wet and the coyotes have wandered back from the far side of the park, so things should be better.

Let the coyotes in your yard.

I say make the rats clean up your shed. Turn it into a lesson on responsibility.

I support the coyotes

They are beyond rehabilitation. Punishment is the only answer.

Send them to the local university for science experimentation. Let's see how nasty they are when they're crawling through some maze looking for the cheese and avoiding electric shocks.

Actually, rats usually fail but the cousin in the rodent family does do a little better, they have been known to be sexually attracted to the electric shocks while licking the melted cheese from the dead rodent's arse in front of them.

These rodents are referred to as Mustela kathiah
