As far as traps, it is interesting as to how many different traps have been invented over the years. The common snap traps work fine, the secret is the bait-try peanut butter. Poison, the one commonly used causes the rodent to bleed internally. Since they do not vomit they die a slow death and will seek water. If, they die in the walls or attic it will stink. Years ago, I was sure it was a rat. I kept needing to re-bait the trap and having it sprung but missed. In the end it was a field mouse. Finally got hm with the arm of the trap. Point a rat trap does not only get, kill rats.
You are so right. A rat trap can indeed catch more than rats. Once, while baiting a trap, the trap caught me.
O.K. let the rat jokes begin. I can take it. I'll just sit here quietly and nibble my cheese. 😊
