My barn rats are the size of the cats and love to party.  :smt044  I gave up and just nuke em with bait. Bait gone...no rats for a while ... so I just keep the traps baited year round. I know when I see a rat the bait is gone. Kiss those rats goodbye :smt008

Don't want to use poison?  Try the Bob Tanem way...  3 cups of oatmeal 1 cup plaster of Paris put in gallon jug or jar and feed.  ;). The plaster gets hard and they die.  Good thing is anything wants to eat the rat, they won't eat the rock.  Works great.
