No offense intended but this is some crazy sheet.
Why do you need to be there to use poison? I'd put out some poison and call it a day.
You could also try the bucket trap aka the Maine mousa.
Place five gallon bucket on floor. Fill half way with water. Place cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels over a thin piece of scrap wood or something similar and lay that assembly across top of bucket. Put some peanut butter on the cardboard tube. Lean a board or something against the bucket.
Rodent smells bait. Scampers up the ramp, across the board and onto the tube only to have it spin out from underneath flinging him into the bucket. Trap remains set for the next one.
Good luck. This is a great thread.
thanks for the reply.
well the normal bait did not work well, and i had to use the liquid bait that is not sold in stores.
i am worried about that getting out of control as it would have to be put outside the house.
i just looked up the maine mousa.
pretty interesting video on it.
the issue is the rat(s) not finding the trap rather than stealing the food from the trap.
