December '22 Chat -- "Shitter's Full!" -- and other Christmas "crap"!

Ive used dryer sheets underhood on the vette the past few years. Just take them out when getting the car back out in the spring.
Also, peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls in a cup in the interior help keep them out. Makes the interior smell good too.

only thing ive used that works or putting a light on under the car and hood at all times.

my buddy has a HUGE pack rat problem. fuckers bring cholla catcus in with them and eat up everything in a vehicle. hes tried the soap trick, they just eat it. dry sheets dont do anything. sprying smells dont work or they drink the water with it in it. And noise alone doesnt really work. He put these in everything he owns and has had 0 issues since.

out at my place, i dont have a huge problem but they are out here. i put those same amazon deals on my trailers, the trucks and the tracker. Now that everything stays pretty much inside, i built traps at entry points. just a shoe box with two small openings (like 3"x3"), a small snap trap and an almond hot glued to the trigger. ive killed about 10 so far this year.

Moth balls work pretty good too.

I had a minor problem with some rats for a few years. made a tipping over trap from a plastic drum, a pipe and magnet. put the peanut butter on the end or inside the end and they walk out to eat and it tip over and they fall in the water.

worked well. no more rats around my house

i thought about doing that with a 5 gal pail but these packrats dont like to climb unless its a hidden climb along edging. id have to get all extravagent with it where the box and trap work well and take up very little space

I have one of those trip tops that go over a 5gal bucket, never worked as good as a glue trap with dog food on it

I don't know what you guys have but the ones around me can jum out of a five gallon bucket with ease. that's why I did a drum

bury the bucket so the top is level with the ground?

 

[Chevy1925]

caleche says no lol. i need a bigger/heavier tractor to do it. plus i dont care if they are outside, i just dont want them in the garage. i make sure the king snakes and bull snakes good around my place. They keep the rattlers down as well

Who's '57 Shoebox?

It Used to belong to the Owner of Danchuck before it was wrecked. The Current owner or at least the person driving claims to have purchased it within the last year and supposedly finished the repair's.

The car is or was called "red sled" https://www.danchuk.com/blog/?p=5551

Got the Xmas lights all done this past weekend. Yes, Santa's sleigh was stolen by Santa Pig and his Rein-hogs.
Santa tried to stop him, but in a cruel twist of fate, was run over himself. You can see his flattened body hanging off the back of the sleigh.

The side yard is more traditional.

BBT is sleeping, as usual.

Lets see your Xmas lights!

Nice work Tom.

We haven’t touched Christmas decorations yet. We close on a new house today and then I’m sure I get to put a tree up.
