What did you accomplish today?

Well shit.
So I'm sitting in my favorite chair having coffee, when I hear some strange noises. Just as I'm wondering WTF it is, I hear something run across the attic floor -- right over my head! :shock:
That's just great. Probably got a family of raccoons or possums up there. Sounded too big to be rats.
I may dispatch them myself but it won't be pretty. I'd like to use a .22 with CB caps, but they could suffer if shot placement isn't perfect. It would also be messy.
I wonder how much an exterminator costs.
What would you do?
I've killed lots of critters in my day and blood doesn't bother me. 8)
Poison blocks mashed up and mixed with peanut butter....I just put it up in the attic or under the house on a plate .....works great for keeping pests to a minimum....if you have other animals around ....take a milk jug or something similar in size ...cut a hole just big enough for rat or mice and put the poison inside of that .....I have several large protien powder containers I attached PVC pipes to .....so mice and rats can crawl inside the tubes and eat ....but my birds and other animals cannot .....GL

Possums and raccoons I just trap and release by the river ....

I was just thinking that there's no food up there, so they've gotta go out of the attic some time. I probably heard them on the way out to scrounge some food and get a drink of water.
Hopefully I can find the entrance & block it while they're gone. No killing, no mess, no problem. :eyesmoke:

I use poison mixed with mackerel.

Bet it would work for raccoons, possums, rats, mice et cetera

I got a load of logs today for the sawmill, 26 pine and 1 very large pear tree I sawed the pear first, it is so beautiful. The pines are ok , but after you've sawn 10,000 pines , well let's face it , just another stack of fucking heavy, sticky logs. I'm going to be sawing till about midnight , the neighbors will be so happy, but I can't hear them over the saw hahaha.

Btw the pear will be a farm table next summer. Plus some other stuff .

Save every non usable scrap of the pear for BBQ, it's excellent for grilling fish and seafood
