Rats/mice in attic

Good ol snap traps baited with pecans? Always worked for us growing up.

Set traps and check daily. Avoid the poison.

Snap traps will work fine. But you need to figure out where they are getting in at and seal that spot. If not, they will keep getting back in due to smell that the other rats have left behind.

Do not use the poison. I have not had a single experience where it didn't cause the rats to either die in the attic or in the wall.

Set traps for them, and make sure to close off all exterior entry points. Cut back big honking bushes, and get rid of piles of shite if they are near or next to your house. Also, go through your attic, and make sure there isn't anything in there that they want to eat

I use peanut butter with a little honey on top. I also wear rubber gloves when handling the trap. Sometimes they are a little sensitive to smells.

Have read it's best to put out several traps (along walls and corners) all at once, rather than hoping to get them a few at the time. That they learn to leave traps alone rather quickly.

snap traps have not been good to me. the mice i have around my house must be really smart because they get whatever I put on the trigger off without actually triggering the trap. Its really amazing. I even tried the traps that are enclosed and never caught one...had 10 of em out. I ended up putting a bunch of poison in attic and only had one case of bad smell but it seemed to eliminate the problem for now.

If you have a lot of insulation especially blown in, which you should, I highly recommend tying the traps down. I've used zip ties around the beams. There's nothing worse than going through 18 inches of blown in insulation on a hot weekend morning to find a 3 day old dead rat. Those big boys will flop around and/ or run off with the traps.
