Rodents | | | Why are chinchillas, ginea pigs and gerbils considered as rodents (rats) since they dun look like rats???
| | A. | The main thing that classifies an animal as a rodent, like a few people already stated, is their incisors. Rodents have a single pair of incisors in each jaw, and the incisors grow continually throughout life.

| Q. | How can I catch rodents that use my cement porch as a bathroom? Baited traps do not work.? | Related Search:
Other - Home & Garden | | | The cement porch is large and is level with the ground. I am unable to find the rodent's home so I cannot set a trap there. The rodents are not tempted with a baited trap because they come to the porch to do their business not to eat. It is very embarrassing when company comes and the porch is littered with mouse droppings. Any ideas to get rid of the problem are welcome.
| | A. | get some EAGLE 7 and place it out of reach of children,,,,,,,that will get them........ | | | |
| Q. | How can I keep rodents away from my newly planted trees? | Related Search:
Garden & Landscape | | | They're only about a foot high and I'm worried rodents are lurking around them. Is there a spray to keep them away or should I put wire fences around them? Any help would be appreciated!
| | A. | Keep mulches away from the tree, at least a foot all the way around. Yes, you can put a wire fence around......but you must promise, truly promise to remove and reset that fence every year. Too many people forget about them and they end up growing into the trunk of the trees, girdling the trees.
There are also plastic tubes you put around the tree. Imagine a paper towel brown tube cut along that seam allowing you to loop the tube around the tree trunk. The Ross company made these plastic tree guards for years.....I don't know if they still do. Just remember to start them below ground and to high enough (multiple tubes) so rabbits can't stand on their back legs and nibble......experience. | | | |
| Q. | What kind of rodent was this? And do you know any good websites for identifying rodents? | Related Search:
Rodents | | | It looked like a rat but it had something on the end of its tail [like a piece of fur or skin]. I live in southern BC.
Any good sites to identify rodents in BC?
| | A. | It sounds like it could have been a kangaroo rat. I would guess that it was probably the Ord's Kangaroo Rat, which is the most common species of Kangaroo Rat and ranges all the way from where I live in Texas up into Canada.
Here is a picture of my pet Kangaroo Rat named Skippy.
For sites about identifying rodents, try looking through your local wildlife authority website and getting a list of wild rodents native to your area. Then you can look them up one by one.

Edit: Degus are not native to North America. If it is a degu, it is someone's pet who escaped. But it could be a pika. Those are the North American version of the Degu. | | | |
| Q. | How to prevent rodents from drowning in my pool? | Related Search:
Other - Home & Garden | | | I found a dead rodent in my pool. Since it didn't have a long tail, I'm guessing it may have been a gopher or something. Is there anyway to prevent rodents from falling into my below ground pool? B/c it's pretty gross to see a dead furry creature floating in the pool just as I'm about to take a swim.
Teach it to swim. Nice help. Anyone have coupons for rodent floaties?
| | A. | put a pool cover on it | | | |
| Q. | Whats go to repel rodents from a garden? | Related Search:
Other - Home & Garden | | | I need to know what to use to repel rodents from a garden? I really need help finding out what works best to keep rodents out of a garden, something keeps eating my tomatoes and frankly, I want it to stop. Whatever it is only messes with my garden, at night, I check it daily and I have found several tomatoes bitten into to. I have tried that critter ritter spray, but they seem to still get around it. So is there some other product out there I can try?
| | A. | My Grandma use to get hair clippings from the local barbershop and sprinkled it around the edge of her garden to keep critters out. They could smell human and it scared them away. I used rubber snakes to keep squirrels and bunny's out of my garden. Good luck. | | | |
| Q. | how can u keep rodents out of my new car motor? | Related Search:
Maintenance & Repairs | | | i live in the country , my husband raises hunting dogs ,and the dogs lot is way out behined the house and i just got a brand new car and my husband found under the hood of the fire shield of the car where rodents had carry dog food and hid the food their. what can i do to keep them rodents out of my car. thanks so much .
| | A. | i too, live in the country, and we have problems with chipmunks and mice. hang some mothballs in some of those mesh bags, that onions come in at the supermarket, in a few areas of the engine compartment. i have read this on more than one occasion in the local papers auto answers column. not too many, don't want to make it smell so bad that you can't enjoy that new car smell!! lol i say one on each side of the back of the engine by the firewall. reposition them if the smell comes into the passenger compartment thru the fresh air vents. maybe right behind the wheel wells and you could also place a bag in front of each of the wells, too. attach them with wire zip ties, or plastic bag ties, keep them away from the exhaust and any moving parts. while changing the oil on the girlfriends car once, i saw how they get up in there. they climb the brake drum or rotor, then hop on to the frame, once they are on the frame, it is pretty easy to get anywhere inside the engine compartment. also, have your husband see if there is anyway that he can cover any openings below the windshield wipers (fresh air intake for the passenger compartment) and also the air intake hose for the engine. one thing you don't want is acorns and such, rattling around in a new car. good luck, hope this helps. | | | |
