Put two traps out first thing this morning, with a slice of fruitcake on each, and half an hour later - SNAP!
I rushed out to check. But the cake had gone, with the trap snapped shut, and no sign of a rat!
A short while after that, there was another snapping noise. But again, no sign of the cake or any rat!
WTF is going on? I suppose next I'll have to set up a webcam to see how they are getting away with it!
Or perhaps I'll try several traps close together, like a classic special forces antipersonnel mine pattern - Dodge one, and the crafty sods will hop straight onto the next.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Rats are very intelligent creatures.
I once set out some rat poison in a small dish in a cellar. Next day the buggers had covered the poison with a pile of small stones. They did the same the next day FFS.
...And this is before they evolve into Rattus Sapiens (a la Doomwatch).
I finally got rid of them by filling in their runs with broken glass and 'offed' one unlucky one with a mallet.Comment
