Well, whichever Rats are left they are as crafty as ever! They only eat bait that's outside the trap.
So, I bought a conventional trap (linked below) yesterday and no luck as of yet.
The next step is poison bait, although I'd prefer not to do that if possible.
Any suggestions would be great.
Amazing how smart these critters are!

A guy in the crowd held up a sign that said Rally Rat.
I thought this thread was in honor of him!

Rally Rat was hilarious. My brother lives in DC and the rats are everywhere. They climb trees next to his house. We were chilling on his deck the other day and one of them just came up to hang out. It wasn't scared of us at all.
They are poisons so you decide if you want to go that route.
Please read the instructions and warnings and you decide if you want to go that route.

I would look for alternatives first - like you have, but then I don't lose any sleep over it.
I'd try not to use a poison that could impact predators, something quick acting that doesn't longer in the blood if it exists. Bucket of death or pellet gun are my go-to's but I do use poison some times for mice in the house.

Bigger than mice.

Get a night vision camera to see where the rats are evading your defense systems!

But, I just set the peanut butter as bait.

We have now reached a complete circle, this was my first response, lol when Grey Pilgrim started the initial thread.
It ate all the peanut butter off the conventional trap pedal and the kill bar didn't activate.
:mad:
At least I know it likes Peanut Butter!
Will try again.
I did.
this sounds to me like a group operation. I suspect a few of them are holding the bar down while others take turns eating up the peanut butter.
rats are like Velociraptors they just won't be denied - they must be eliminated.

This trap worked! Got a another big one! What should I do with him? Bury him in the back yard?
TIA
