We used to have a very serious rat problem here, but I found a solution. We trap them and I BBQ them in my smoker. Just like a short haired squirrel......:clap2:

Had me some of that BBQ rodent just the other night when we went out for Chinese food. :mmmm:

I check/refill them every 3 months and each time there is far less evidence of any rat activity, so I assume I am killing many rats and have seen NO evidence of rats around my house for years. Not very costly, easy to check/refill, and clearly effective.


I went to Tractor supply today across from Rural King and bought these.

Cabbage Palms may be the attraction.
 
During the 2 hour seminar that the County Extension put on for new homeowners we were told if you have cabbage palms then you automatically have a black rat population and they most likely will attract black rat snakes, and similar ones, which can be very helpful.
