Sorry Ron, but.... I'd run over that tree rat if I got the chance. I hate those things. Send him to me. I'll make sure he doesn't come back from a ride on my bike. They've done more damage to my trees and house than you can imagine. Chewed bark off limbs and killed the whole limb, chewed the wood from my roof soffits and tease the heck out of my Golden Retriever. I have a .22 pellet pistol that I keep handy just for those nasty rodents.
