At least he could leave a thank you.


Ideas? Do the electronic rat traps work?


I have tried the electronic *mouse* version. Fantastic! Humane,
deadly, net, and clean. There are no misses.

As for conventional bail traps for rats: Set it up with the long
axis perpendicular to the wall, with the end touching the wall,
and the bait end toward the wall. That way, the rat cannot
jump away from the bail when he sets it off. I once had a rat
that I tried to catch for a month. When I switched to that
system, I caught him the next night.
