9-19-2010 mugshots
Last night I caught two pack rats. This morning Cazie & Fringe worked together to get one of the rats out of a cage and crunched it. Cazie is the bad influence; Fringe has never tried to bother them in the cages but Cazie has carried the cages off in the past only to let the rat get away.
Fringe and Cazie trying to figure out how to get the remaining rat after I hung the cage up.

First Pack Rats of 2010
I've had a long stretch of not seeing any pack rat evidence on my porch or patios until now. If I keep putting out traps I predict a run of getting a rat every night for about a week. The following are the first two prisoners of 2010.

9-2-09 mugshot
This fellow wreaked havoc in my garage. He was elusive to catch and was taunting me. I once heard him say "and I shall taunt you a second time-a you silly english kniggit". Before I caught him he chewed the rubber seal along the bottom edge of the garage door, started to chew the seal at the bottom of the door going from the garage into the house. I haven't parked in my garage this week because he chewed the wire in half leading to the safety sensor so the door won't shut automatically. I finally caught him using peanut butter (smooth not crunchy) on a club cracker.

Finicky eaters are we now?
Two nights trapping and no rats. Maybe they don't like crackers, time to use the tried and true popcorn or Cheetos as bait. (But if I buy Cheetos I'll be tempted to eat them and they are evil so popcorn it will be.)

They're Back!
It's time to start trapping pack rats again. They're back and chewing my irrigation lines. I set out two traps tonight so maybe tomorrow we will have another mugshot or two.
