i'm pretty sure its a mouse and not a rat

heres one of my favorite storys back in april 24th 2000+5

Walking out to my car after I exited K-Mart I spotted some thing coming out of my wheel/hub cap area it appeared to be a string of some sort with what looked like some sort of brown gauze thought to my self how the hell did that get in there I tried to pull the string out but it didn't budge one bit so I decided to pull my hubcap off glad there easy to put on and take off

After I removed the hub cab I noticed fly larvae crawling all over this nice little dead field mouse which looked like it had about 10 whiskers and its body was all caved in with 5 little fly maggots crawling about having a huge decomposing feast on the nice little dead field mouse how it got in there I don't wanna know but I bet it got in there while I was at work

I didn't even try touching that dead little bugger with my hands... thats just plain nasty. I shook my hubcap in a violent motion I checked to see if it got loose/out of my hubcap and it was gone. So I searched for to where it went and i couldn't find it then I looked behind me and there it was laying on the ground with the fly larvae still crawling about the dead little field mouse.

So I put my hubcap back on my car with a few hits from my hands my hubcap was back on and stuck my key into my door lock to unlock my door opened my door got in inserted my key in the ignition started my car and off I went to leave that nice poor decomposing little field mouse in the handicap spot in the K-Mart parking lot for other flies and maggots to join in the feast of the little dead field mouse...

Be careful and protect yourself and your g/f. Wear gloves and masks when you clean the car out.

if i wasn't afraid of rats i would.
on club rsx somebody said this:
"When you get it stuck on that sticky ____. Put it in the microwave and let him sit there for like 30seconds. Just enough to ____ his skin up, and not kill him. Then get a knife heat it up for a bit, then dip it in alcohol n cut 2 of his legs off and his tail. Then ____ on it and step on it"

somebody has issues

EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW

We have rats near us due to the way a trench was built with all the berries they want to eat.....and we see the turds running around to our neighbors to get the dog food and back into their hole. We have put out deacon and haven't seen them since the snow......hopefully they are gone.....then we will put more out to kill the rest of them that may have been too young before.

My parents found babies in their BBQ...good thing we heard the squeaking before the fire was started...but EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWw

do you think this rat will fit in your car tight places???

I think its more of a mouse and not a rat.

If it was a rat then you'd need bigger traps.

This are the biggest traps we found. they are about 6" in length



An interesting fact about rats. A full grown rat's skeleton is made entirely of cartilage. they only need 1/4 of an inch to fit through a space.

The rat ____ that I found in the car was way bigger than a grain of rice. i read somewhere that mouse droppings are the size of a rice grain.
