think I've got rats Under some cabinets in my kitchen. I can't reach where they are due to some cheap baseboard against the bottom of the cabinets. I can only see holes the little bastards are eating away at. What's the best way to get rid of them?

Can't reach the areas to lay traps down. There's only a gap of about 1/4". Poison is a no since I've got a dog. We used to have ferrets but they died.

Snakes are easy to get....... now a mongoose and a mountain lion are tougher. Now we're talking about making a journey to find these exotic animals then staying alive while they are in my home.

lay mouse traps baited with peanut butter near where you think they are. then take the cap from a bottle of antifreeze or something and fill it with southern comfort and place it next to the trap. 60% of the time, it works every time
believe it or not, some mice/rats are smart enough to get the bait without getting caught in the trap. thats what the so-co is for. couple ounces of that, and they just don't give a ****

when we first moved in our house there were rats in the garage cause the house next to use was vacant for 2 years and there is a wooded area down the street. we used so blueish-green color poison picked up from home depot it worked i went outside to cut the grass one day and found 2 rats dead with the stomach exploded... but one died in the garage behind some shelves ( garage smelled bad one day ) it was hell getting / finding it. i would lay that stuff outside but not inside if it dies in the walls your screwed.

Get a live trap and put a little peanut butter on the flapper. Attach a little block cheese to the peanut butter and set tue door opening close to the hole. Once you hear the door snap shut, go fill up a large bucket or ice chest full of water then drop the trap in with the resident inside. I was told to stop because that was cruel but I enjoyed watching them drown after seeing what they did to my A/C ducts!
