    but we don't have rats living in our engine bays anymore.
    phyrric victory of sorts...
    It's just one cat Doc and she is very well domesticated. She has her own litter box and everything.

    Best part is, no mice have ever tried to infest our home.

    It's the outside rats we have to worry about because we live in a wooded area.

    be wary lang din na even dogs are destructive kapag bored at hindi na-spent ang high energy nila. well, depends sa breed ng aso at kung na train but before, i had 3 young askals sa compound and nginatngat yung wires sa ilalim ng RAV4 ni wifey[emoji849] brought them all to the farm and serve as guard dogs, mula nun naging behave na sila[emoji3]

    Let us know if it works on felines as well sir.

    Rat droppings inside the engine bay are a very bad indication, and you also have to worry about Leptospirosis where they pee.

    Good luck.
    Cats can be menacing as rats, litters/kittens can fit on cramped spaces of an engine bay and have teeths as sharp as a razor (first teeth growth causes an itch which is soothed by biting on something like a wire)

    even though our house is next to an empty lot, i've never seen any rats nor any sign of them in our property. i'm pretty sure those pests wisely steer clear of k-9's on the prowl.

    mice, on the other hand, is a different story altogether. our cats are too lazy to chase after them that's why from time-to-time, i see those critters inside the house. i'm not sure how they're able to enter our premises though. i think they do it via the trees w/c surround our home.
    the other day, yung dog namin keeps on barking sa may halaman namin sa backyard namin. na corner nya pala yung malaking rat. yung pusa namin, nanunuod lang kasi halos magkasing laki lang sila nung rat hehe. ayun, pinag tulungan pa namin ng aso ko para patayin yung rat.
