My friend's car has a rat in it Help!

My friends eclipse has a rat in it. It has just been hanging out and he can't get rid of it. Any suggestions?
 
Leave the door open for a while? I think the rat wants to be out of there equal to if not more than the amount your friend wants him out 🙂
 
I worked at a petshop for a while that did not have the cleanest back/storage room, nor were the rat cages the best. Often a rat or two would get out and very quickly we would have a colony of rats living in there. What always worked was finding a nice sized peice of of wood or metal, about a foot long and an inch or two wide and have fun hunting down and chasing rats around. If you were fast enough you would catch one by the tail and bang it against the wall for a minute then throw it into the stock tank that held a four foot cayman.

You could do the same thing, just minus the cayman😀
 
roll up the windows, turn the engine on, stick a hose into the exhaust, put one end through the window, and gas that little mofo. dang, what does your friend do in his car? man, that's ghetto.
 
I had mice in my car last year. I put a mouse trap into a box with one side of the box open (so it didn't make a mess 😀) and I put cheese spread on the mouse trap. I caught all 5 mice 😀

Get a five pound block of dry ice and put it in an open igloo style cooler. Roll up all windows, turn off all vents and close doors and hatch tight. When the dry ice sublimes, the levels of CO2 will be lethal to anything inside. This won't stink up the car like poisons. Works like a charm.

Cheers!

Hehe, so in addition to exterminating those suckers, he'd have to play hide and SEEK with those bad boys? And within a short period of time, before they start to decompose 😛

Actually, this is an old trick used by seasonal liveaboards. Many times they find quite a flurry of unwelcome guests onboard and this seems to be a great inert way to rid of them. Yes, it is recommended to get rid of vermin before any fumigation for obvious reasons! There isn't too many places for a rodent to hide in a auto, however.

Cheers!
 
Um yeah the problem with all the ideas like the C02 from the dry ice and the other idea of carbon monoxide is ull have a dead rat in ur car..then what if u cant reach that dead rat, well it mite take a while to even find it in there...best thing to do is set up a box and inside there have some mouse trap and have cheese & peanut butter 🙂..hte box is there so things dont get messy with mr. rat and his insides flying around ur car.
 
er... no way don't try to kill them by posioning them. You need to catch them in a trap or something, cuz they will just die in your car and it might be hard to find them.
