[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so devastated and also creeped out.
We have a lovely cardinal couple and many other little  birds and a couple of squirrels we like(d) to feed roasted sunflower seeds. The cardinals have been coming for years.
I used to toss the seed out on the patio but then one day last month we saw a big fat rat. 
So we moved the feeding up to the back porch, in a big  saucer. I never left it out after dark.
Today I went to the glass door to the porch and saw the #&$@ rat! I don't know how it knew to look there.
[b]I scrubbed the porch with bleach and soap[/b], rinsed it, obviously can't put the saucer back.
DH is going to be very upset. This will be a fight because he likes to put out seed for his cardinals.
I don't know what we could do.
But obviously a huge rat at the back door is impossible to risk.[/quote]

OMG you didn't. This has to be a joke. You'd put poison on an outdoor surface, because... there was an outdoor creature on it?

If not trolling, definitely the most over-the-top, insane, absurd, OCD thing I've ever heard. [/quote]

I rinsed it, use your reading. I wanted to get food scent off it and yes, rat cooties.

We are chumps as the PP above noted.

But rats are a vermin too far.  [/quote]
