yes and want more advice on the sticky mat idea to separate rats from cats...
The solution to rodents is very simple. Poison from the inside and traps. They are gone fast. The rat will take the poison back to its nest and it will poison the offspring!

Any good news Waldo?
As Haley said Poison will be far more effective.

We should make a movie titled: Waldo and the Rats.

because i slept through the night in SF, i could not tell if there were any noises.
my guess is the rat(s) is still there.
the food was eaten apparently in the day time, so i left more when i left and sprayed catnip.

i dont want to use poison everywhere because i am not there enough.
next trip will try more things.

Have you considered tearing down the house and starting over

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.

Use less water, maybe 1/3 of the bucket...
