Not for the Fainted Heart

Last week my neighbor Nina called me and it went a little something like this.

Nina "OH MY GOD WE HAVE RATS"
Andrea" Are you FREAKIN SERIOUS"
Nina" YES, I went to the trash can and I saw this big RAT!"
Andrea"UH, UM, No way, we can not have rats"
Nina" It was as big as a squirrel"

Well, she told me her husband, Josh, he went outside and poured gasoline and water in the hole. Nothing happened. So the next day he put out some bait. He said they go in the house, eat the food, drink water , and then it explodes!!! EEWWWW


So on Memorial Day Neil is outside grilling and comes running in the house saying he saw this RAT! That Nina was not joking. So, here I go with the camera and I called Nina. Her and Josh came out and this is what the boys were doing.

Checking out the hole. Neil said"Man that tail was long!" Josh said ' I am going to stick this stick down in hole."



Josh has something else is probing the hole with.

Then here you can see the red gas can. Josh poured gas down in the hole.

Here Neil is waiting to swat the baby rat that come flying out seconds later!

Then the boys decide to get serious. Neil goes and gets his tools, hoe, chainsaw, pruning shears, and flash light. They trim back the bush to get serious with this burrow that they have dug.

1. we poked it with a stick

2. poured gas into the hole (one baby one came running out, but it was too fast to whack with the rake)

3. we trim the edge and start digging!

Check out what they hit with the hoe!!!!

That sucker is huge!!!! It was disgusting! I can't believe Neil picked it up. What a crazy day!!

So, if you you need an exterminator call 1-800-Neil Brian!!!!!
