[Guest]

Sunday the Check Engine light turned on and took her into Toyota on Monday.
Diagnosis:
rodents eating wiring

$1200

Insurance covers it but I've had enough.

1) mouse traps
2) more mouse traps
3) rat traps + Taipan Vet
4) elimination of squirrels

Day One + Taipan Vet Long .25 + ATN 4K pro

Boy I’m happy that your insurance covered the damage. I would of thought that there was caveat in the policy that would of gotten the insurance company off the hook. Seems it could be a reoccurring problem. 
oh and nice shot on the potential culprit, the follow up shot was brutal!!

Thanks. I expected the claim to met with the "Act of God" clause, phew.

I like to follow thru

@mikehunt good job and may victory be on your side!

Wow your insurance is good! I know people in my neighborhood got their wiring harness destroyed and they have to fix out of the pocket. 


May you be victorious in the holy war against the evil hordes of rodentia! God speed sir Mikehunt!

I am trying for Number Two the rest of the day should one be stupid enough to show up.

Lots of false alarms from the birds we enjoy so much.

My first year shooting air guns I shot lots of rats and mice. Once I got the rats under control the mice started coming out. 
If you have not already. May I suggest the Harbor Freight driveway sensors. Then build a little housing for it. Put your bait pile underneath. I can shoot from inside my house. I have about five different locations. I’ll hunt over one spot for a week. Then move to the next. Shots are 13 to 20 yards. And I zero my gun at the exact spot. 
This photo is 17 yards out. There are 5 mice in that photo.

Down below is a rat at the same location as above. The wood structure has the motion sensor in it. You can also see my zeroing target

I now have the rat and mice population under control. I’m lucky to get one a month.

When they start messing with the Tacoma, it is time to go full blown John Wick mode. Head shots for everyone.

Wow! That second shot was devastating... The rest of that squirrel crew better watch out.

This housing gives the rat or mouse a false sense of security. They kinda hide in it. Also because the sensor is pointing straight down you get less falls alarms. Animals can walk right past it without setting it off.

That looks like the area where the sacrifices occur and I like your setup

Aye! A fan of John Wick I am.

My setup includes a 'comfort area', red LED above, doorbell camera and a Taipan perch indoors on the breakfast bar at 13yards.

I put the stenchiest dryer sheets I could buy in the Wife's car, under the hood of course. Supposedly those works unlike the internet folklore about Irish Spring bars.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like a clear case of someone who is just looking for a reason to kill those varmints…Admit it, you crawled under your Toyota with a box knife, just so you could shoot those innocent little rodents.

I have found that the noise maker- night lights are very effective. I have them in my garage, and throughout the house.

Sometimes I wonder who is serious and who is joking... (chuckle)

This motivates me. I'm going to have to look into those sensors.

Mike! That sucks! I golf with a guy who owned a Honda car dealership and he had rats do the same thing to his wire harness, they even set up a home inside in his engine bay with flowers, leaves….get’em get’em! Nice shot and video with your Taipan VL on that nutter!
