Lots of things work for mice, but rats are much cleverer. Quite often a trap will catch one rat, but then the rest avoid it.
I'm hoping to get them used to the guttering/pipe seesaw, by leaving it in place, baited, with another piece of guttering underneath to keep it from working, while they get used to it and get ratty smells all over it. Hopefully that way, they won't wise up to it, even when it's dumping them in the barrel. |
