Haven’t caught it here. Maybe mid week when this system passes I’ll get a chance if I get a bit of elevation. Agree that about 30min past sunset would probably get the best light.

I bought the CD in NZ in 2001. Pretty sure it was an aussie band. I thought the band's name was A Simple Plan. But it's been 23 years.

We have a rat or rats in the basement ceiling. I'm pretty sure I know where they're getting in and out of the house. Should I seal it up with spray foam and steel wool, then try to trap them in the basement? Or should I fart around with trying to make some kind of one-way door where they're getting in, so they can leave.
I'm 99% sure their access is under the porch, and I'm going to crawl under there tonight and put a bunch of traps out
Wear a respirator and toss your clothes when you're done. Hantavirus will ruin your ski season.
It was already very difficult to see the day before you posted, on the 19th. Maybe if you live somewhere very rural. Was hoping to see it clearly on the 19th because the moon stayed down for an hour after sunset that night. Was far brighter a week prior, and even a couple days earlier I could spot it with city lights and unfavorable moon. I pointed at it for some folks on the 19th, and they saw it through their binoculars. I'm not an astrologer, but guess it has moved too far from the sun to have much of a tail.Quote:

If you know the entry point then start there by blocking that.
Also, knowing what it is helps with your plan of attack.
I had a feral cat have kittens in an attic once. Fucking loud and vicious lil buggers when it was time to retrieve them.
Rats, god damn I hate them. Anyways, seal up every entry point and then put out the traps. Hopefully you can get the last one standing before it dies and stinks up your home.
I'll bet there weren't any rats up there, though. :DQuote:

Am I overthinking the possibility of rat poison getting into my food?
Not over thinking, but not enough to kill you.
YER GONNA DIE !!!!

Thanks for the pro tips on my rat problem under the porch. Been awhile since I had to crawl around in a rodent-infested space, so good to have the heads up on hantavirus, that wasn't on my radar.
Poison is off the menu: I had to get into a floor to remove a dead rat once, and it's pretty high on the list of things I hope to never do again. I'll stick with traps. I'll try to get them in the basement and/or under the porch, then work on sealing up their entrance. Seems rodents don't like strobe lights so I was looking around for a way to put a strobe light with a motion sensing switch under there for long term deterrence, but I can't find anything battery powered.
The problem with strobes is that they attract ravers, who are worse than rats. IMO.
Ravers might have good drugs.Quote:

You won’t die from rat poison. You’ll get bloody diarrhea.Quote:

It was hacked recently but I think is still operating. archive.org I think, also called the Wayback Machine.
Thanks GL!

Why is MAGA going after Puerto Rico? A serious question. Not interested in politics or name calling, just trying to understand the backstory?
