Use a golf tee in a hole. If the hole loosens up a little, the taper in the tee will still close off the hole and hold snug when transporting. :wink:

Tap it for a thumb screw. Never loosens.

I squeeze the sides in a bit too on the recangular plastic cans. seems to help a bit with the pressure, but nothing will help it on a hot day.

Had a field rat sneaking into a tool shed looking for feed that was in another shed this past summer that vented several of my fuel cans. Chewed the heck out of the filler spouts and vented the heck out of them, tore all of the bags of charcol up, quarts of oil, everything. That guy really made a mess over time. I don't care about the plastic ones, but that son of a gun got the rubber hose and plastic fillers on about 5 of the good old thick steel 5 gallon cans too. You can't find fillers for them anymore. Now going to have to start looking for flea markets and see what I can scrounge up. You'd have thought the gas or diesel fumes or drinking oil would've kicked his butt, but didn't. At least get him stoned out of his gourd and pass out, but didn't do that either. I fianlly saw him making his way towards the shed and a .22 got him. He got vented real good.

No a 22 or 12 is a fine mouse catcher. You must have good eyes to use a 22. I use a 12.. lol bad eyes. lol

Not great eyes, but a .22 or a .410 does a field rat pretty good. This guy though, was just plain mean with the messes he made. Like he purposely would spread charcol around then pour oil over it, and made half my fillers just plain useless. He was a big fat one too. Chased one of the ground hogs off that lived under that shed, or maybe ate him under there.

Be nice to your rat friends. Feed 'em. The smell usually goes away after just a few days.
