Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?

Well... after a rat left the space under my deck... I don't actually care about it's wellbeing.

What is your trump card?

Relax. I am going to use against you your sheer existance.

Why! We can always relocate a rat to vetmed2002's place.

All brazilllions of them.

What is your trump card?

Well...

Mine is perseverance. Some say stubborness.

Could be from my paternal grandmother - she was regarded as stubborn even by Russian standards.

Who am I to kill? Well, I am the one who kills. Come and bite me.

I live in a big, in Swedish terms, town. The rat population is large as well. While I wouldn't hesitate to kill a rat, in this particular case there's no much meaning in it. I'd rather that the local rats would consider the space under my deck as the least desirabale occupationable place in the world.

As simple as that.

What is your trump card?

The one with which you continue to maintain the game, when everyone else gave up on you?

You ultemate strangth, that is.

The most of 6 pages was just merry chatting :)

I don't live on a desert island, see? Gbg is the second town in Sweden after Estokholmo. And people here feed rats. Well... they don't think that they feed rats when they feed birds or just put food rests into bins along forest or park lanes. But the result is very same - they feed rats.

My objective is not to kill this particular rat, that lives under my deck. I'd rather to find a way to keep off all the prospective rats.

If I lived on a decert island though....

Many on here have Eglish as fouth or fifth. For me it's only the third.

Are you fishing for something?


There certainly are some people that I dislike. But I'm like the most of the inhabitants of these fora and there are some, you included, that I'm very fond of. Perhaps, my posts don't reflect it. I blame language barrier :)

RE: Fight for love.

Fight for love.


Love is a feeling. Your feeling. Whom are you going to fight for your feeling?

This forum is rather old one, which gives me lilberty to assume that one or other participant here has already lost someone very significant. Parents most probable, a class mate, a sibling, a cat or two... Death per se doesn't cancel love, see? You still can feel the warmth that those people (or animals) induced in you, when they were alive.

Once I had a cat. I loved him. He died. I cannot have another cat. I don't want a cat I cannot love.
Once I loved a man. He died.

Fighting for a relationship is quite different matter. I did it twice. Lost both times. Not going to do it again. Am I not good enough as am? The exit it there --->

Nope! In case I'd resort to blood-spilling meathods and win, I'd like this one to remain unknown gnawer.

To Buffybear:

Thanks, but I don't want to know where this rat goes, I think that everybody, a rat as well, has right to privacy. As long as this rodent keeps away from my back door, I content :)

RE: Stuff I'm rubbish at...

But how are your hunting skills? Are you able to catch and kill your food?

Your dogs can't, so much we have established :)

RE: Where are the Japanese?

Here's a link, galrad:



After visiting it, you can always start a thread: Where are the Americans?

Or should I start it for you?

Bought cayenpepper and sprinkled between boards over the place I think it has its nest. Saw it run out. Dunno though, whether it was annoyed by pepper or the activity above its head in general or that was just a co-incidence.

RE: Its Going To Take Time For Those of My Generation And Older

Well... as pain-killer or an epilepsy drug, why not. But please, dear pot defenders, pay attention that it will be in pill form and quite possible on prescription. What seems to be the progressive liberals fighting against establishment will result in Big Pharma increasing its profit.

Perhaps, it's time buy some more of their shares.


As an aid to deal with everyday life... A drug is a drug still. If only pro-cannabis brigade spent as much time promoting healthy life style.
