Every Winter I've had at least one Rat build a nest somewhere in my shop. I've done everything every year you did, Clint. Ever try the electric traps?
Those are cool.
Finally I started putting moth balls all over the shop, especially in my wood pile, this year for the first time, no rats or mice.
Great shooting by the way. The wife would make fun of me sitting in the shop in the dark with a flashlight taped on my pellet rifle
