Any of you EVER try bodygrips like 55s or 110s for rats? How did it work out for you, and did you use standard wires or added pans?
I know snap traps are the standard, I'm just curious Guess not

Standard wire 110s work, set the trigger on the last notch and start it so it moves free a bit like for mink. Set blind
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

I know snap traps are the standard, I'm just curious Illegal to use here without a permit and would be best used for muskrats with the regs that are in place. Jmo, those traps aren't practical for most applications when it comes to Adc work for rats. More of a preference thing than effectiveness. The majority of places where rat traps need to be placed in order to be successful in regards to time and catch volume those traps wouldn't cut it. Bigger liability risk when dealing with children and pets at the residence as well. I too at times like to use certain methods and traps to do a job because I like that method or trap. If you run two traps along side by side on the same job you can get a feel for how effective one is over the other. (Pros&Cons) Those traps would be out trapped by standard rat traps and ultimately you risk losing money on the job. For the simple fact of trap placement and running time.

What's wrong with a bait station (cubby) with a 2" hole in both ends and run rat poison...Aka rodent rocks ...

Nothing at all if you're licensed to handle it on someones property besides your own, and if the homeowner allows it to be placed on their property. Many folks are 100% against poisons being placed on their property. I don't have a core License to handle it on someones property besides my own, and have no interest in obtaining it at this time. Not sold on that's the best method of removal either, especially after the repairs I've done to homes and apartments for the removal of dead rodents in the warmer months.
