My surefire method of rat trapping is,, well ,wally,,,surefire!
I've always used an adhesive like liquid nails and glued a milk bone dog biscuit to the pan of a #2 under coil steel leg hold trap(coyote, fox,bobcat)
And set that pan trigger really light,,, you set a couple where you know he hangs at,,, you'll have a dead rat in that trap within 24 hours.
(Pm me,,,I'll fed ex you a couple,,, don't cry to me if you catch your own finger though,,,:lmao:)

When Melon gives you a trap, you're liable to catch a red haired rat. Lol

serious questions about rats and cats.
my house in SF has an unusual structure with 1.5 feet gap between a tile exterior and the inside wall.
i got a rat that is living there.

i dont have a cat and want to borrow a cat.
we got lots of feral cats in the neighborhood.
i figure out i will use some catnip to attract a few one night to take care of the rat.

i have a 70 feet long driveway that is very steep.
i figure i will use multiple piles of catnip/catfood to lure the cats up the driveway.

any ideas?
will it work?
any downside risks?
how far can a cat smell catnip from?
how much should i use?

thanks!

Get rat poison and he will be gone and you never know it could be more than one.

rat poison works so so in my house. the house is very unusual with the gap between the walls and 3 levels. the darn rat could be in many places. i also do not want to leave the rat poison out while i am gone for weeks.

i did the poison trap and got one.
but the space really invites rodents so need a long term solution.
a cat would do it but i am not there enough to keep a cat.

the rat comes out to feed at night.
i can hear it moving.
i need cats to wait outside for their meal.
Ewwwww that's gross. Kill the rat or it will multiply and you will get hordes soon.
Kill them all.

  • Call an exterminator
  • Get two cats
  • Put out some traps
  • Pray
