I bought an awesome almost new Kawasaki Brute Force 750 from CSR member Tim (Blown284) last year. Plows snow and muds like a champ.

Here's what I found a couple weeks ago.

I hate rodents, especially rats!
Some liquid latex on the chewed up wires and she is running again. Only sat 4 weeks! Put some moth balls in a nylon stocking to keep them away.
I nested the babies together on the ground and gave them a helping of #4 steel 3&1/2" 12 gauge which made rat pulp out of them. I traped mama and squished her guts out.
 
Eeeewwww!!! I hate rodents. You're braver than me.... I would have burned the whole ATV.
 
Unrolled my inflatable this spring to find mice had chewed a hole the size of a dime through the one of the main tubes. Never thought that they'd chew through rubber. I know better now.
 
I had one in my boat at our slip! Chewed up paper towels, etc. One day i caught him out on the finger, knocked him into the water and he climbed right out again. Used my gaff like a baseball bat when he was climbing up a dock line to get back in boat. He went flying into water and a monster Tiger Muskie came up and grabbed him!
 
Couple of years ago in the fall I found a mouse in my work shed out at the lake. I keep it pretty neat, loan mower etc, and a nice work table. Anyhow, I see the mouse in there and in a moment of compassion (was was getting cold out) I let him be - big mistake!. It was about two months before I went back in the shed. That little fu&*r chewed about everything he could in there, and what he couldn't chew he pooped on it. Looked like he spent most of the winter nestled down in my work boots. Well, I fixed him a nice peanut butter snack - oh what a sound the "snap" of an old wooden mousetrap. Never again - those little things can do mountains of damage, cars, boats, anything! And if they don't do damage they die in some small in accessible space and smell!

Kinda like some politicians in Washington.........................
 
How mean and inhumane can you be ?? Those little babies didn't do anything to hurt you !!

Who am I kidding, smash them all.
 
The wood rats have a new enemy.
