I had a few squares of bees wax in my garage shop, but when I looked for them, they seem to have vanished completely, even the one on the lathe. There are also mice in the garage, so I wonder if they eat the stuff. Anyone know about this?
:) Tooth marks are tough to measure when they consume the entire wax package :) Setting glue traps will let you know pretty quickly, They typically do not discriminate between size or species of critter...Once caught 2 live rats in the same tray...not a pleasant find, as they were both still alive...
I've seen bigger in NJ and NY. Found a super fat 2+ footer under a trash box while cleaning out underneath. Never knew they could get so big and fat. No one else did either. It kept three audlts and two dogs at bay with barred teeth and snarls, then hauled ass towards the local park. Two people walking up the street made an abrupt backup.

It was during the rainy season in SE Asia, and, in and attempt to stay dry, we decided to quarter in the bunker for a few days while we regrouped from the battle.
Only problem was the underground rats, almost as big as some of the "pet" dogs (who followed along side of us a convenient food supply).
First night I sat, awake in my sleeping bag, with a Montagnard crossbow, to kill them before they got to me.
One night of those rats and I decided to sleep above ground, and deal with the cobras instead ...
