I bought 2 live traps from Amazon, ones they cannot get out of.nThen you have a choice, you have a Live rat. You can throw a couple of pieces of TOM CAt in the trap as well as having capful of peanut butter ( I used old bottle caps) and caught 11 rats. This way, poisoned bait traps exterminators use which allow rats to die outside their traps where othe animals can get them is avoided. I have the traps now along the side of the house . Have not caught any more for 2 months, so I guess the group was cleaned out or moved away. CAUTION. if traps are outside, you will catch the local squirrel perhaps twice, but they get smart fast. I don't bait TOM CAT in the outside traps, but toss a piece in after catching a rat until the surreal has been caught once and won't enter again.
