Only they wouldn't be adorable fluffy baby bunnies
You see it all started one night at 3am when I woke up feeling thirsty. I went out to my garage fridge to get a glass of milk (it stays colder in that fridge, long story) and of course I assumed that I'd be able to fall right back to sleep because I wouldn't be alarmed by two rats the size of my small dog wrestling on one of the tool shelves. But you know what they say about assuming.... it makes an ass out of those damn rodents in my garage.
I remember when I was little, sometimes my male and female rabbit would get out at the same time and start rolling around together. My dad would tell me not to let them do that, and to only take them out separately. "But why dad?" I said.....and after some mumbling under his breath and a couple of "well...uhhh....ummmm..."s he told me that they were "fighting". So I knew once I saw these two rats "fighting", it would end with the same result- only they wouldn't be adorable fluffy baby bunnies. It was time to take some action.
Plan A- buy traps. Plan B- move far, far away.
With a little leftover bacon grease in the handy cup that goes in the bottom (no worring about snapping your fingers like those classic wooden traps!), I caught 3 rats within the first two days. And these weren't regular rats- these were Florida mutant-sized rats. I grew up in Detroit attending Eastern market several times a year; so needless to say, Jurassic-sized rats normally don't phase me. But wow. These things were huge. I'm still not convinced they weren't labradors in rat costumes, but I didn't get that good of a look- which is another bonus of these traps.
Anyway, the traps were still right where I had placed them, so it's good to know that whatever they were, they died instantly. I continued to reset the traps and got a rat every night until finally....none. Now I can feel confident getting milk at 3am without the fear of interrupting any rat love-making sessions.
Great customer service, too. A couple of the traps in the first batch I recieved wouldn't set, even on the first try. So I sent the company an email and they sent me a new set of traps right away.
