I set 28 stools and caught one rat the other 39 rats came off of feed beds and toilets. I can't figure It out I've caught 1000s of rats off of stools In ND In the spring but these WI rats won't commit to them. Being in the military, I've trapped all over the country and that is the biggest trapping mystery to me. I've had places the rats climb all over floats and stools and places they completely ignore them, even with bait and lure. No idea why. They don't seem interested here in PA but our season ends pretty early too.

It remains a mystery to me.
We were walking on ice yesterday checking colony traps. Caught 10 rats but It was lots of work chopping them out. Going to pull today.

I cant spring trap here, but if I could I would use some rat toilet material like it appears you do. Mine are fall pics from a few years ago.
I have a stack of beaver floats, and they work fine, but I have never showed that in a pic....
