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.
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.
Everyone knows the most "efficient" way to a foxes to get some men on horseback and some dogs to chase after them. Perhaps they could switch to rats?

A Level Biology - sometimes it was a rat, sometimes a dogfish.
In O level Biology we had to dissect a fish, after that I refused to do any more. Watching Timothy running around flicking fish eyes at thegirls was too much. There was a frog and a small mammal - I simply refused.
In O level Physics we had to take in a bull's eyeball and dissect that. I did not take one in (many didn't) and tried to stay but the smell was too much.
In A level Chemistry on compulsory experiment (it went towards your grade) was chopping up fresh liver and dropping it in hydrogen peroxide to watch it fizz. Again, I refused.
