In the new house caught a rat in a trap. Man I hate cleaning up those things, especially when the rat is still alive. :eek: :eek: <br /><br />The tail freaks me out for some reason. :eek: <br /><br />What bothers you?<br /><br />Ken

Re: Rats freak me out, whats your weakness

My wife hate rats for the same reason. Something about their tails. Rat traps are nasty and not very effective. Bait is usually more effective. I caught one in my garage recently, or I should say my lab caught it & killed it. <br />What bothers me are %#$@ California liberals. They defeated every one of Arnies measure last night, including one that says we shouldn't spend more than we take in. <br />I'm going to have to move.

ashamed to say it, but it is...human vomit. I tend to go in the opposite direction as fast as I can.<br /><br />And people who believe everything they hear on talk radio.<br /><br />hey KIZ, our latest weapon against rodents is...a red-tailed hawk. Saw 'im sitting on my backyard fence Sunday. But he took off when I came back out with the camera.

Don't have a problem with rats, mice, snakes. Used to be freaked by spiders. . .over that.<br /><br />Political radicals, left worse than right but right, too.<br /><br />Sincere, good hearted, self appointed evangelists who insist that their truth is the only truth and harangue me to "believe" as they do.

Re: Rats freak me out, whats your weakness

KIZ,<br /><br />Do you also struggle with snakes? I think the Rat tail is a lot like a snake in feel etc.<br /><br />Years ago I was sitting on the couch, no shirt, watching a Dodger game on TV. Felt something kinda ticklin' my shoulder. Looked over and there was a rat sniffing me and his whiskers were what was doing the ticklin' . . . Now that freaked me out. We actually looked eye to eye and then both of us freaked. I have great luck with regular old Rat traps. Killed a bunch of them here.<br /><br />Still trying to figure out the thing that freaks me out the most . . . hmmmmmmmm

Snakes. Man I hate snakes. I'll jump like a girlie man when I see one.<br />Here at the Log Home I have to empty the mouse traps and have no trouble with mice, spiders, crickets etc. Just snakes.

Re: Rats freak me out, whats your weakness

swimming in leach infested water freaks me out. I can do it but it still freaks me out. Another thing that freaks me out is being in the woods (hunting) and have it get dark on you, Then ad a coyote howl on top of that and I get the willies.<br /> One more thing.....smelly dish rags...keep them things away from me.

Rats rank up their for me too.<br />Hearing them move around at night when you cant<br />see them.<br />There are no rats in Alberta so I dont have to<br />deal with them anymore.

Re: Rats freak me out, whats your weakness

Ive got it. What really freaks me out is a guy driving his boat with the swim ladder flopping behind it. Almost as much as the guy driving his boat with a bow line trailing along . . .<br /><br />P.S. I know a rat in Alberta . . .
