Rats in garage, they won't touch peanut butter bait
We have a atleast 2 rats that have made our garage a home to escape
the cold and rainy winter nights here in N. California. I've seen them myself several times during the day. I bought some enclosed mouse traps. I thought the hole for them to crawl in could be a bit too small, but I learned that rats and mice can crawl through any hole that their head fits in (body will compress to fit). I baited the traps with peanut butter (which everyone seems to recommend) and left them in the paths where I have seen these rats. The traps were out for days, where they weren't even touched, moved or triggered. Then I tried putting a smear of peanut butter outside of the traps and the rats never even touched it. I then noticed the peanut butter I used was a light peanut butter with added corn syrup, but if anything a sweet peanut butter should be even more tempting for them. Looking for some advice. Thanks |
