Nick,
I would get a good mouse trap and put peanut butter on the traps. You
will catch the culpret. If the culpret is bigger than a mouse trap can
handle, I would then get a rat trap which is much bigger than a mouse trap.
I keep my gas cans in an out building I have and have no problem.
I had my friends snow blower here last Fall to repair it for him and it
had some REALLY bad gas in it. I emptied the small tank (maybe a half
quart) and put the old gas on my driveway to my building where there is some
grass I wanted to get rid of. I then deceided to put a match to it and it
barely burned. I had ot put a few matches to it to get it to fire up. It
finally did and there is no more grass in that spot any more.
Jack in Shinglehouse, Pa

Subject: [FWDLK] gas and animals
Thought I would ask here. Since some of you folks probably have cans of
gas for lawn equip like I do.
I don't like to keep my cans of gas in my work garage and I leave them
outside my garage, but I have some kind of animal that likes to eat the
plastic can, even if there is gas in them. So far it's chewed holes in the
side of 3 plastic cans, chewed the spout in half on two cans and chewed a
hole in the gas cap of my snow blower.
Of course I know the best course of action is to put the can inside.
but any idea what kind of animal seems to love gas so much.
Probably the same one that chewed my propane hose on my camper and
barbecue and sucked out all my propane.
