rodent infestation

Scavengers are smiling I’m sure.
A dead squirrel in the road around here last about 20 min. Crows are always watching and waiting.

I got this one red handed in the act.

My son in law was having a pigeon problem in his barn and taking them out is logistically and tactually challenging. My son in law handled it brilliantly he bought a gamo and blunt pellets. He went after them and shot them in the barn when they were roosting for the night, and reluctant to flee in the dark. Less than a week later the pigeon problem is solved. Pigeons will not enter the barn.

I'm gonna leave this one on the swim platform as a deterrent, maybe the others will get the message.

lol
naw, they don't. I've dispatched a few over the years that were hanging on the bird feeders and others would climb up anyway before I disposed of their buddy.

Well that's not encouraging. I always thought they were rather clever.

they are clever. After I began dispatching them I noticed after awhile no matter how quiet I was opening the door and having my pellet rifle, if they saw me, they'd run. Also, if others were present like on the transmission wires, they'd chatter and flick their tails.....that's their danger warning

that is so true. just yesterday I saw a squirrel climbing around on my boat avoiding the dead one and found a new hole to get in. they have chewed several holes in the tonneau cover, enlarged the holes around the bimini fittings, the trap is useless, all that's left is to transfer the registration to Tree Rat Inc.

Take the cover off open it up for a couple weeks, eliminate the shelter.

It might be time to bite the bullet and call a pest control guy. I know a guy that works for a company that does all kinds of pest control. They have some good efficient methods. Probably be cheaper than repairing damage to your boat
