capitalquality Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is my biggest annoyance right now. it’s the only room we decorated since moving in (I hate decorating. Actually I hate a lot of things that take time and require you to be methodical) and they’re only out for an hour or so a day, and the little ******s know that they’re not supposed to eat the wallpaper because they look guilty when I yell at them.Someone link me a gig that gives pet rat advice.

nikavoice Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Be careful for what you ask for. A savvy spammer will quickly create a gig just to get a sale. 😁Can we see a pic of the brats, rats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalquality Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Paint instead of wallpaper?Unfortunately our walls aren’t up to not being wallpapered. Old house n’all. But good suggestion otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyaxrex Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Get a wooden box and some spare wallpaper. Next mix flour water, raisins, peanuts and basic whole food snacky stuff in a big bowl. Now use this as wallpaper paste and wallpaper your wooden box. Once dry, sit in the middle of the affected room as your rats run free and they should choose to nibble at your new fake walls rather than your actual ones.

Apart from the peanuts which are bad for them. But replace with walnuts. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent.Careful, if they are male rats the walnuts will make them crazy horny and the last thing you want is a bunch of fury s****l deviants running rampage around the house.Also, walnuts work on human males too, so maybe keep a bag aside for a dull day when you’re feeling a bit jiggy and want to transform your other half into the ultimate gigolo.

Or do you mean that you’ve already fed your significant other too many aphrodisiacs and warn him out?In either case, you never know when things might take a turn, so keep a bag, if only to grind them up and slip into the odd houseguests tea if they are suitably handsome and charming.

thewriterfiver Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I’ve wanted pet rats for the longest while, but if there are any in Jamaica, I can’t find them. People here consider rats as just plain old dirty things, so no one would even think of selling them. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZers have an aversion to anything that eats baby kiwis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyaxrex Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Aww. Actually they’re thought of oddly in NZ too. It’s hard to get stuff for them. NZers have an aversion to anything that eats baby kiwis.I used to kidnap Kiwi eggs in Okarito with DOC. We used to go out at night, find the burrows, steal the eggs, replace them with dummies, and the real ones used to get taken away to be incubated before the chicks were raised on an island somewhere and returned to Okarito when they reached adulthood.I ended up having a big falling out with DOC, though, as they also started dumping 1080 poison everywhere which I thought was just insane.

You’d make half Bangalore redundant and there would be no one in Cyprus to cook your eggs for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcopywriter Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 You need to hire exterminators, or pest controllers, I think they prefer that term nowadays.Rats are a serious problem. If you have roof rats, they could chew the electrical wire and end up causing a fire. If you have small children, rats have been known to attack them. Rats also carry diseases, and cats are no good, cats only attack mice, not rats.In the meantime, I leave you with a clip from one of my favorite shows, back when I had cable.

misscrystal Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Cats do attack rats, and usually female cats are the best hunters. The problem is that once rats are in a home there quickly becomes a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
