And your car’s engine compartment is the perfect spot for them to nest during the fall and winter months. There are simple ways you can do to prevent them from rummaging your car. You can scare them away by keeping a cat in the garage. Allergic to cats? Well, you can place traps and poisons, BUT be careful not to leave them around your pets or children.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rayskillmanford.com/section/secondary/car-dealerships-in-indianapolis-indiana/" rel="nofollow">Erwin Calverley</a>Erwin Calverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721178747832478887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531794809906460381.post-64141927475144476982012-06-29T10:09:56.704-07:002012-06-29T10:09:56.704-07:00I would say that "boring" is far prefera...I would say that "boring" is far preferable to finding dead bodies in your building, no? Yikes. You are exactly where you want to be, Lynne. Besides I think life is only boring if you allow it. Personally I'm NEVER bored!

Rats were in our barn when we had horse feed. I've also found a giant black snake in the boot of a car that had been parked for a while. I found him again in one of the birdhouses. I called him Longfellow and I haven't seen him in a year or so. We have rattlesnakes, too. Hmmmm.....<br /><br />But again you are safe home and that is good.<br />happy spinning and knitting,<br />VickieVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801201470050175830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531794809906460381.post-66347089032082130632012-06-26T13:45:32.925-07:002012-06-26T13:45:32.925-07:00You do have your adventures, don't you, Lynne!...You do have your adventures, don't you, Lynne! Glad you got home safe finally.<br /><br />BTW we once had a Douglas squirrel build a nest in behind the headlight in our VW van while we were camping in the Rockies. We tried to discourage her but she was determined. Unfortunately we lost her somewhere along the way and unbeknownst to us her tiny babies died. They were found later when the headlight went out because dumb mama squirrel had bitten through the wires! Poor little doomed things. And then there was the time when the deermouse and the fieldmouse were running rampant around us in the middle of the night. At least you weren't trying to sleep while the packrat was enjoying himself in your engine compartment! The Bro has it right - critters are cute until they aren't!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531794809906460381.post-86963988452029672642012-06-26T08:52:58.621-07:002012-06-26T08:52:58.621-07:00Had the same problem in Germany with varmint calle...Had the same problem in Germany with varmint called marten. Ate through wires on the BMW. More than once. Critters are cute until they aren't. You might have to trap them to keep them out of the engine.

Nasty mess though!! I had the bird feeders too close to the carport, rats found their smorg and hotel!

After the start of spring here so dry we have been getting rain steady so things are so green, would not be bad except with all the bare clay around the house, things are a mess, will be glad to get the front deck built and get the landscaping finished. Take care!Crazy Lady with purple fingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638003936298753440noreply@blogger.com
