naaaarrr, try a different color..,... I say this as 90% joke and 10% not,..as I am sure that I read somewhere that rats see color, and are drawn to certain colors,... I feel a google moment coming on

Mix some flour with cement powder, then add water to make a paste. Leave it in a little dish in all the usual spots for rat runs. You could sweeten it with molasses or honey as well. Any rat that eats that will die.

In cold winter months, I've found that small piecs of Mars Bar prove irresistible bait to all members of the Ratty family..
