How to get rid of rats on a sailboat? We had rats in the boatyard, on the boat, under the boat, inside the boat and running around all the buildings. With no cats around, Penuwasa boatyard was a haven for the beasties.
After Episode 247 (where you see Liz trying to get her teeth in properly to speak about rats, and where Jamie holds one up in a trap to camera) lots of people asked us to talk more on the subject. So, in this week’s video we give you the full low-down on what we’ve experienced and how we deal with rats. Believe us when we say that we learned the fast way in Kudat!
But it’s not a completely rat-infested video. Jamie talks about the new (to us) anti-foul we are experimenting with and the added magic ingredient which we mixed in at the last minute.
There’s a few seconds of a grumpy Liz mending the dinghy cover and we get to grips with the worn out hoses on the auxiliary oil filter.
