One eyed pack rat in engine

[digger dogger]

My ol’lady was just attacked by a one eyed trouser rat!
Aggressive son of a bitch!

Seriously tho, I’ve had to kill two while out hunting, both died from hiking pole wounds.
They’re wrecking buddies cabin, along with porcupines.

I'm going to put traps on either side of the tires and leave the hood propped with a 4x4 and spray peppermint or coyote piss (maybe both!) hopefully it works

Thanks for the tips fellas, if anybody has anything else thats worked for them let me know. Would be devastating getting back to the truck with Meat in Sept heat and those little scum suckers rendered the truck inoperable

Try scented dryer sheets tucked in various spots in the engine compartment.

I’ve heard that also.

Most people just have the hood open on their truck, they want dry, covered places to stay... But guess they could hop on top of your gas tank too?

I use a wire mesh “skirt” around the truck, weighed down with rocks. For packrats, smaller mesh is needed, smaller than chicken wire. Mine is half inch, and it works so far. Chicken wire works for porcupines, where the *******s have learned to chew rubber.

Couldn't the rats just climb the wire? Sounds like a good idea...

I think if you grabed a packrat you would be missing some fingers..did you leave the hood opem after the first encounter..and i cant believe you let him get away

Lol. I was fast and didn’t even think other than I didn’t want to hold on too long! Yes, the hood was fully open after that and the little bugger(s) still invaded.
