[QUOTE="Star*, post: 422099, member: 4964"] I had pet rats - and had one of these accidentally plugged into the wall - (forgot it was there) and um.....my rats couldn't have cared less. What seems to work better for Mom is a radio tuned to a non-station - just static. But she's been using peppermint oil for years and I can tell you for sure - one whiff of that stuff and my rats were on the other side of the cage. Also - worlds laziest cat ----hasn't caught a rat but DF did. I urged him to use peanut butter. He decided to go with his own "rat catch" brand of genocide food. He used Cheetos. Go a head and laugh but the little buggers preferred it 3 to one. And (gross warning here) The mate to the one that got caught with Peanut butter? Well I kept hearing it in the attic - skritch, skritch, skirtch-------So I told DF - better put the live trap up there. To "amuse me" he did. I didn't know that he also put up a wooden rat trap with a cheeto. So I'm in my office and I hear - SWEAR to you - sounded like a rat dragging a row boat across the rafters. This went on for about an hour. I called DF into the office and said Shhhhhhhh.......Listen. (well he's nearly deaf, but you could not miss this WHACK.....drrrrrrrrrrraggggggggg Whack...draaaaaaaaaaaaag) and then he got this look on his face, like I've never seen. Well I'm so puzzled. Things are going through my mind because rats are really clever little buggers, and I'm trying to thing of what scraps of wood we've left out that they could have possibly drug up there???? So DF drops the attic stairs and gets all "Wrangled" up It's quite hillarious actually he has "mouse wrangling gear" forehead light, kneepads, tapes his jeans shut at the bottom, it's a sight. All the while I keep hearing..WHACK......drrrrrrrraggggggggg....WHACK.....draaaaaaaaaaaagggg. Then I hear "Go back in the house Star." Well you know I did. ;-) Then I see him come out of the attic and exit the house, then come back into the house, get a pistol and then I hear *BANG*. Apparently he had decided to NOT use only the LIVE trap as asked - but he used a wooden trap and a cheeto in the attic. The rat had gotten caught but not died, and to end it's misery DF had to shoot it. I was VERY upset. Big game hunter on the other hand was somewhere between - Well they sure prefer cheetos over peanut butter, and I meant to tell you I put a snap trap up there - looking away from my glare for not using the live trap.
