Baking soda and cornbread mix. 1 to 1 mix and leave em a dish..

I have found, without water or antifreeze in the bottom of bucket, the bigger ones can actually jump out.

I use Tom Cat all the time for mice. I prefer it to D-Con.

Been using a 1.5 victor long spring blind set in strategic places around the shed and cabin. Also have a 120 with trigger pan in use. Lost count but I'm up at over 70 confirmed in the past 12 months. Have also used poison blocks that disappear but still rat activity. Snap traps have caught less than 5 over this time period.

Change out the blocks after awhile with a different chemical agent

Beaver feet work also

Only on trapperman would you see beaver feet listed as a rat bait, LOL.

For sure. I've found mummified beaver feet that rats had stashed away in places I never expected.

Cats have grooves in their teeth designed by nature to hold bacteria. If cats bite a prey animal and it gets away, that animal usually becomes weak from the infection and becomes easy to catch or even dies. Few prey animals survive being bitten by a cat.

Cat bites are bad for humans too. Most people deeply bitten by cats need medical treatment. Diane, my mom and my friend Cathy all had to take intravenous antibiotics and have surgery to excise tissue infected by cat bites from their hands.
