Speaking of rats. I have had them since fall. They come into the chicken coop and eat the leftover corn. I didn't believe it a thirst so I set up the trail cam. I have never gotten more than one on the cam. There most likely is more though. They stay under my shed. I am sure I got rid of some , I hope anyhow. When I find a fresh hole, I take a 1.25" hose and stick it in the hole a ways and the other end goes to my tractor muffler for 15 min. or so. It snowed last night and saw a trail from the woodshed to the chicken coop. They completely avoid the victor trap. Never got a rat, but got a chipmunk instead. I suppose a small live trap is in order. I tried a 110 conniebear trap with peanut butter but they seem to be much smarter than that. I hate to use poison though.

But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
