Kuddos for persevering! Im dealing with a rat or something lately. Wont go in live trap. Keeps getting out of the regular traps. I like the screw idea! Rats are devils.

Try it out, they are shifty little things. Before you set it, give a few days free food on the trap to get him comfortable. I would also recommend doing multiple screw traps at once. The one I caught in a screw trap was huge and I realized without the screws the trap wasn’t killing it and it could struggle its way out.

I have a smart rat problem.. and is really smart. The sticky trap does not work. It comes off. The other regular trap does not get it. We got the cage one.. and we can not get it…

I had the same issue, but I had to bait these traps for a week or two every night without setting them and then eventually I set the traps and they got them. I also wore gloves one handling the traps and the bait and what worked well for me for bait with slim Jim’s

Plus one for the gloves. Wash the traps with soap and rinse really well. Then only handle them when wearing gloves. The big ones get off the sticky traps, but I gave the ones plaguing me some really bad nights stuck to the sticky traps getting stuck also to my bicycle and wandering the garden with a dinnerplate sized board stuck to them before I got them with washed traps.

It's odd that YT won't let you show a dead rat. Since I've viewed a few deer hunting how-to videos, my feed is full of videos of deer being shot (both archery and gun), deer being field-dressed, etc. Obviously, the Kings of YT are pretty much OK with many deer "snuff videos." Puzzling.

Let me clarify… I could probably post it but I would risk it eventually being taken down or getting my channeled dinged so I just avoid it. Thanks for the comment though, have a great Christmas & new year.
