    You won't regret it.
    Disclaimer: turn off the smoke detectors and open the windows, it'll get a tad smoky (dinner and a mosquito repellent can't get any better!)
    Get that sucker! Critter sausage goes well with blackened fish! :anonymous:

    I cheated. That giant skeeter pic is from AK. I've lived all over the US. East,West, South, North. AK as usual has skeeters beat too over the lower 48. (Sorry Texas) [​IMG][​IMG]

    Dear God, I used to sleep in my grandpa's swamp camp and that thing was skeeter netted to the hilt but I've never seen it that bad!

    You and the wifey need to make that trip to AK that Jace and new wife just did for their honeymoon. I'm glad I went up there for 11 months. You may as well be on another planet. Rodents causing damage is the least of your problems if you hit the trails there. Remember to make sure you have cup holder liners in your truck. Could be the difference between life or death.

    This problem is serious, errrr maybe not :

    This is something that may ruin your day: [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
    or this horrifying image (warning, not PG): [​IMG]



    Even further off topic, sort of....This is why the Yeti is THE best cooler. The 1st Certified Grizzly(Brown) Bear proof (and plastic eating rodent proof?) cooler. It's not always about cost. Err.. Yes it is. You get what you pay for: [​IMG]

    Dang it, I just saw a mouse.

    I HATE those things. Are they still as bad as they were a few years back? A buddy of mine got paid to shoot and kill those b@st@rds.

    Nah, they're not as bad. But with the past flooding, who knows what's next!!
    Yep, I was the one my wife's family called to get rid of those suckers around their house. They lived less than 100 feet from the bayou on their property.

    @RowdyRon they did! I forget exactly how much though and I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure it varied depending on which parish you were in.

    There's a $7 bounty on hogs around our family's place. Some counties do it, some don't. This was an easy $28 the other week.

    I got some coons and a couple of armadillos too, there's no bounty on them but we have to 'restrict their population' as they are considered a nuisance as part of our Wildlife Exemption.

    I just posted about that this week. rat chewed my window washer hose. Cut straight to it. Droppings on intake cover. Looks to be the only damage.
    I Live in L.A..big city...with the CA drought, rodents are thirsty and they go for places with water...like my windshield wiper water...

    I just got that Rodent spray for automotive. I spray the shit out of my truck..smells like heaven now...
