JesseFrank Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Which vermin do you reckon would be able to something like this. Happened overnight and the height is 60 cm. I was thinking about a rat, but I doubt the would be able to go a vertical height of 60cm, unless it is a very big rat.

splitlid Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) it looks like the rubber seal or silicone seal, could be cockroaches. or just a dog trying to get in as all of the stuff is on the floor.

zaZa9 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 A rat . They can cling onto anything. One ate a 2" hole thru our ceiling to get to drop into our kitchen. When she spotted him , he ran up the wall and maybe half a metre upside down back up into the hole. It looks like they cant get into your place , but they know where to try... Sticky paper and a bucket of water , or poison , is the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that a cockroach would be able to bite such large pieces out of a rubber. Not the size of the cuts on the floor. It is also no animal like a dog, since the property has a 2 meter perimeter wall all around, so nothing is able to enter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepsydaz Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Probably a Rat.. Rats can climb and about food.. it is not necessary that they try to go in only where there are food. They Explore... and looking at the picture it seems that the rat couldn't go in.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 looks like a two-legged vermin to me Unless directly behind that sliding door is aromatic smelling food I doubt animals would attempt to shimmy a door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubapro27 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'd definitely scatter some rats traps around outside that door over night and see what you catch, glue some chocolate into the trap, they go mad for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mice can do that, i laid a few mouse traps in the attic and caught the little rascals. What interests me are your tiles,i have tried to find some like that for ages no success, do you know the name of them or the firm that makes them?

dotpoom Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is the frame behind marked? It could have been a lever Kamoy trying to get in. If it was an attempted burglary wouldn't the burglar try to prize the door open at the handle end which is at the opposite end to the rubber end. To me it suggests a rat is the perpetrator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could actually just slide open the insect screen and then open the unlocked door. But I'm sure nobody would succeed in reaching that door without starring in a new movie, and the whole neighborhood awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseFrank Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Well, I bought some dinner for the rats last night. Spread Flocoumafen here and there around the land, and they ate like there was no tomorrow, and probably for some of them there actually isn't any. But I'm a bit surprised that given the large tablets, that they didn't gnawed on them but took away whole tablets. You think that this is normal behavior for a rat ? This morning I located a pretty large frog near that room, and however it wasn't dead, it didn't make much resistance when I picked it up with a spade to locate it at the other side of the perimeter. You think large frogs are able to do that damage ? Edited March 13, 2014 by JesseFrank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamariva1957 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 No it is a rat or at least a member of that family. Trying to get in? Maybe not. They love to gnaw on anything, even the covering on electrical wire, so the rubber seal on your slider is right up their alley. They are also able to climb anything so have been known to reside up in the dead space between the ceiling tiles and the rafters. I have had this problem also. Could not figure out how to stop them.. finally they just stopped. Maybe it was the cat that found a home with me? So maybe get a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWPattaya Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) One house I lived in a few years ago had a field behind it. We used to get mice/rats in the kitchen. I used to put down glue mats. One morning I found four feet and the latter half of a tail. The rat had chewed its own feet and tail off to escape. Yes they will eat anything.

Gandtee Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Make sure that when laying down poison you put into places and containers that only rats can get access to. Rat poison is used here to get rid of dogs. To see a dog dying after being being poisoned is not a pretty sight. Not pleasant for the dog either.
