[SEL] rattle snake in my playroom

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Yup Glenn, we ve got five cats too, thats why I cautioned the use of 
antifreeze.  The Old Farmer who told me the antifreeze trick used this sure 
kill method for rats and coons in his barn.  Personally I have used it for 
rats in my engine shed with great success but the cats can not get in there.
