Ok, so I had a rat run across my feet a few days ago. No big deal, (ok im trying to regain my masculinity here, I won't let you know the actual 'pitch' of the scream I made ) So out to the store to get 'rat stuffs' to 'kill rats'
Long story short, I get a bag of this garbage. WOW, Rat X .... with a bulls eye and a rat in it. WOW!!! This must be some heavy duty #%$t here right? I mean this is going to make the species go extinct just THINKING about it right?
Then I read the ingredients.
W T with a capital *F*
are you KIDDING Me???
So Im going to get rid of rats by essentially giving them a saltine cracker? and you charged me HOW MUCH AGAIN!! How does this work? Do they say, oh Aaron sucks, he has such crappy salty food, ewwWW, let's go over to his neighbor instead.
Yes I got suckered pretty bad on this one, it's MY fault, I DO take blame when I screw up. I should have read the ingredients before buying it. So I looked around at other things they sell, they also have a Mosquito Trap too. The eX- TERMINATOR... or whatever the hell it was called again. OOhhh oogie boogie, that sounds so SCARY!!! Im about to wet myself just THINKING of it !!!!
Active ingredients. You fill it with water and put the magic 'powder' in. It's basically a little bit of sugar, and a little bit of yeast. In theory the thing ferments slightly, the CO2 attracts the skeeters into it, they suffocate and die in the CO2 air. It cost 12 dollars for a ##kn little tube.
Folks, READ LABELS when you buy stuff. I was concerned as to exactly what was in there, as I did not want to poison my birds, especially the lovable brat in the house too, I think I can honestly safely say that nobody here would want to harm their pets.
If it says SAFE for pets, or use in the house, or something, don't just say. Oh goodie, Ill get it. figure out WHY it is safe? If it's safe because it's absolute garbage, then you saved yourself some money and embarrassment. If for some reason the stuff DID work, well in this case, salty crackers, I could have made the same thing for a few pennies, instead of several dollars.
So let's use this as a learning experience for everyone. Anyone else ever come across something that was totally trash that they got suckered into getting? (No comments on the marriage license )
