    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    I will say that I had mixed results with the bait. Using the cameras, I know there were customers who dined at one of my "restaurants" every night for a week or two. (locked bait stations) The electric traps finally ended that. edit: One rat taunted me every night by eating my stuff and posing...

    New Year's Eve Driver Error

    Great coverage of an incident that could have been much worse. A minor fracture and some landscaping vs. possible death or the car hitting the house instead?:eek:

    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    Hi Tony, those are all the right questions for sure. I don't have all the answers. I was waiting to have the bracket in hand before settling on a final plan and was mostly wondering here about general practices or things to avoid. It's dark and raining now so I am lazy and will go outside...
