Here is a big rat, one of the biggest I have caught. This is a regular size rat snap trap.

Certainly is. A lot of rat even for that trap. What's the bait?

Yes, what's bait? I have them in my chicken house. Best to pre bait traps for a few days so they become comfortable before setting them?

Yes pre bait for rats if at all possible. I use the green machine from wildlife control supply, I did a job next door to this place about 10 years ago had around 20 traps out. I used every bait I could find and this won out. I have used it every sense. This place is a MERF so they have constant problems. It’s good for a constant paycheck.

What Bait? A board leaned up against the wall with enough "space" at the bottom between the wall and the leaning board, wide enough for a 110 Conibear will "TWIST" every Rat in that area. The Key is to Saturate the area with "sets". Try and set a large number of these Coni sets in the area at once. Because it won't TAKE long, and the Rats will become "wise" to the set. How about those 5-gallon "Walk the Plank" 5-gallon bucket traps with 12 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket. Self-setting. Never Stop Working?
