What to use on the boat.
 

LIke everyone, I have put the boat away for the winter. It's kept inside a shop with the covers on. The other night I had a Nightmare That a rat got in the boat and, you can figure the rest. My question is, what could I put in the boat to deter them from looking to make a home in it? :mad:

I have always used dryer sheets every where
just make sure the area is dry where you place them

also helps take away the smell in hte spring time

I used moth-balls/moth crystals in various places in the cabin, cockpit, and engine compartment. I made sure to get some down in the stringer area in the engine compartment so they wouldn't have a party underneath. It worked well.

What smell? :D

Re: What to use on the boat.
 

From the Rat pizz of course! :D

I have put those little boxes of rat/mice poison in key locations inside the cabin and cockpit. Figured if they got in there, they would do too much damage before they croaked.

i use the dryer sheets to. seems to work. also use them in the summer and i dont get any boat spiders.

Never use poison, traps only..if you poison them they will crawl somewhere and die, leaving no trail to find them but a smell that will absolutely drive you insane. With a trap all you do is pick the sucker off and reset for another.

go the trap route. talk about stink, a dead festering rat/mouse will draw all kinds of other bad insects, maggots, etc. you could always leave a ***** i mean cat in the boat. get one of those high tech self cleaning litter boxes. ratman

Seen a couple of those plastic trays with a sticky 'fly tape' bottom in them with mice stuck to it. Critters were like super glued to it and trying to pull themselves free. Looked like they were doing pushups, but with not much luck.
Kinda felt sorry for the little rodents. Maybe they have a super size tray?

It was only a nightmare....... :D

Dam*......Someone's always inventing a better mouse trap! I like that idea even better. And the pun was kinda funny too.

I don't have rats, I just want to make sure they don't move in. I'll put some moth-balls inn just in case. :drink: Happy Holidays to all OSO brothers and sisters. :drink: :drink:

Print this picture about 5 times and leave all 5 copies scatered about the boat. That should do the trick. :D :D :evilb:

Move out of the "Hood". Rats don't like nice places. :D

Re: What to use on the boat.
 

Just get a nasty Pu*sy for your boat! :D

Re: What to use on the boat.
 

This works.

Re: What to use on the boat.
 

So moth balls work?

I figure the smell would stay with the boat?

Re: What to use on the boat.
 

We used to do this in Chicago. In the spring when you remove the moth balls the odor is gone after a few days.
Down here in SE Florida it works on the Palmetto bugs, roaches and gekkos.
