No one has more Coyotes than we do here. A good barn cat will outsmart them. Dumb cats,,, they're lunch.

Look at the cahaba snake trap. I use the lift top trap with the cheapest mice glue traps I can find. Theirs are the best but expensive. The reason I use this is it protects the glue traps from cats and dogs. They work great for me.

I've got the electronic device for the rodents but this explains why my wife's car is being attacked by ants. I guess I'll have to encircle her car with bug spray as well. Seems like you could mist down the engine compartment with some fluid film (or similar).

For my RV trailer I put bait outside the trailer in two "traps" and inside I use Fresh Cab. So far so good. But I do have to replenish the bait about once a month.
The Fresh Cab makes the trailer smell nice and piney but it may be a bit too much for some.

Wow. I did not know this.

I RECENTLY learned the rats will carry the bait blocks off and nest w/ the bait block (like a squirrel?)...not all bad BUT in my case a rat took a bait block and nested in the pool heater...chewing up the 18 month old pool heater, busted a water line inside the heater....$2300 GONE!
Ive since been told to grind up the bait blocks and mix it w/ some peanut butter....the wont carry the bait off and they'll eat more of the bait, faster.

to those who put items under the hood, where do you place? Up high, battery, around the bulk of wires at the driver side firewall? On my V-10 they nested in the valley under the intake and chewed wires on the driver side firewall. With the 6.7 and the turbo, I would not want anything flammable there (including a rat or nest)
