Get a cat. Only feed it about once every other week or so....just enough that it will want to stay around.

When the mighty insurrection takes place and we have to hunt for our food, these will be beautiful little furry-tailed rats on a platter. I have at least a hundred of them in my yard and sometimes in my attic.

OSS , come on , you live in New York. You know those are not real rats. New York rats are as big as a dog. As far as a treat , steel wool with a little peanut butter smeared on and worked to the inside. If it won't kill them , at least you can laugh when they take a crap and scream.

This neighborhood is lousy with stray cats. They do keep the rat and mouse population down. A few years back somebody complained to the city about all the cats, so the animal control folks started trapping them. Fewer cats, more rats. The cat population is now inching back up and the rodent population is inching down. But a few remain and look for refuge inside. |

Friend of mine accidentally found a way to catch them. Leave a tall glass half full of cheep wine. Cleaned out his garage in no time.

We used to fill a five gallon bucket half full it water and put some peanut butter on the tip of a board. Stick it out to where its balanced enough they can walk on it and fall in the bucket. They can't swim forever.......
Of course you can really only do one at a time this way but it works ok if you don't mind throwing out buckets of drowned rats......
