[SEL] Very OT but need help

[peter ogborne]

Curt ...I have avoided the problem . I was warned that bush rats would like 
the engine bay of my Nissan diesel.They like the warmth and could chew the 
wiring and cause a bloody lot of damage . So I have fixed a small plastic 
box with rat access  and in the box i regularly put TALON rat baits.......no 
more rats.
