Comments on: After the floods came the rats… http://www.mythailanddiary.com/240/240/ This is my journal of living in Thailand Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:38:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Baba http://www.mythailanddiary.com/240/240/#comment-222 Baba Mon, 17 Oct 2005 03:28:15 +0000 http://www.mythailanddiary.com/240/240/#comment-222 When I lived in the USA, I lived in a very old timber framed house and at one point I got mice... nowhere near as bad as rats, but still can't live with mice. So, I got the snap the neck type mousetrap after my neighbour told me how her mice caught in glue traps chewed their legs to get away... *gag*. At one point in my month long battle in getting rid of them I decided to get 'friendly' traps where they get caught in it and then you can release them outside, except mine suffocated. Not very friendly at all ;) When I lived in the USA, I lived in a very old timber framed house and at one point I got mice… nowhere near as bad as rats, but still can’t live with mice.

My sister caught mice in those glue traps and had to listen to them scream. I would hate to have to kill them. Probably I would put them in a garbage bag and drop a brick on them so I don't have to see it. Ugh. Just the sight of a rat makes me feel sick. I can't stand the way they run. Ugh ugh ugh.

But it remains the best way to get them. I find the glue a bit inhuman even if they are rats. Problem with breaking necks traps is that it sometimes catchs a finger.

But we have a dog and I wonder how she would cope with a cat in the garden as well! Not sure if cats would chase them. There are some stray cats around that don't seem to chase the rats...

We had rats outside the house in Washington DC, but they never got into the house. I still remember trash nights...we'd put out the trash and five minutes later the bag would be moving.. Oh ugh!

Not sure if I could deal with rats though......but I guess If I had to I would. Rather rats than snakes! :) We had mice once in the cellar and normal traps worked quite easily.
