Went out to start my gas grille yesterday .
Lit the first burner, then open the valves for the other two burners, when the other two burners lit off, there was a thumping / thrashing sound coming from inside the grille .
Backed off a few steps and saw something fall out of the bottom of the grille, smoking .
About 5 seconds later a rat scrambled up the wall between the neighbooring property, stopped on top for a few seconds .
I could see that just about all of the fur / hair on the rat was singed off !!!!
This the first I've seen any trace of rats in my backyard for over two years now .
I got the electric rat zapper out of the attic and set it under a shrub and then placed four bait stations in the general area .
I'll see if there is any bait taken or a deceased rat in the electric rat trap when I get home this afternoon !!!!!
