Default I'm going after a rodent

My wires were eaten through. I had this problem last week and had to get it towed because I had no idea what happened. Well today I was changing my oil and diff fluid, so I raised the hood. There was a nest in there in the same spot the lines were chewed through last time. So I am pissed about that but when I get the leaves all cleaned up there were 5 wires chewed through including my positive cable. So now I have to fix this. All I have to say is the rodent it won't be in there anymore. I might even get a cat and dog.

In the off season, I put mothballs on the floorboard of my Mustang.
Rodents hate the stink as much as people do.

Man!!! I used to have an SHO Taurus and a field mouse came up through the shifter boot and made a nest behind the glovebox. Then it had babies. I ended the babies with a flat head screw driver, and the mother made a run for it so I grabbed the S&W .40 cal out of the door pocket and ended her on the second shot. It never stopped dropping chewed up insulation in my passenger floorboard. Stupid rodents!!!

lmao. I should have specified it ran out of the open door. It was on the ground when I saw how much lead it took to get to the center of a mouse-pop. . In the car.... would have got the screwdriver!

Still gets me worked up thinking about it and it was like 8 or 9 years ago. lol

Okay...a .40 may be a 10mm set on "stun", but that's still a lot of gun for a mouse. I'm all into ovekill and stuff, and even I think that with good quality modern expanding ammunition a 9mm is sufficent for small to medium sized rats.
