re: Rat in my Shop

If you use sticky traps I put a dab of peanut butter in the middle and then I nail or staple them down because any decent sized rat can definitely get just one or two feet stuck and carry them off. I'm not a fan of sticky traps because they don't kill them, I've caught many still alive in them then you have to kill them. They will crap themselves and chew limbs off, it can get brutal.

Put the traps in the natural places they go, along walls and what not.
