Swamp Wolf trapper Joined: Apr 2009 South Ga - Almost Florida	Originally Posted by WhiteCliffs I have a rat - or maybe rats - in my store room. I have two standard rat snap traps and have tried cheese, peanut butter, and marshmallows with no luck. I have a squirrel tube type trap baited with peanuts, pecans and walnuts. Not a one has been touched. He stole about 20 jalapeño peppers off a plant my wife put out there to keep from freezing. He wont eat jalapeño peppers I give him. There are a variety of other foods he wont touch. I have some one bite poison out, but obviously, that aint working either. Will those sticky traps hold a rat this size? That's a Boone & Crockett rat!!!! Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Finally finished the critter off with .22 rat shot in my living room. Life Member NTA & FTA "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

Also if it's cool out the stickiness is much less than in a hot environment. Switching baits won't usually make it commit to a trap. Large rats like that aren't easy to catch, period. It takes time and you will most likely catch it in a blind set.

Barely spray it with cooking oil to slick her up. Give it a test run if needed. Make a catch and move carcass to a likely spot and set up around it. This is where leg holds shine as killers. One fur season I let the skinned catch and scrapings pile up outside the shed and let’s just say I created a real problem. www.tomahawkoutdoors.com
