Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

I would also say fat of one sort or another,..although I am surprised that they are not going for whats on offer,...rats will normally take anything,.. maybe your traps are the wrong color

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.

Thats a bit like feeding seagulls with soda balls,.. they eat those and `blow up`,..simply expands in the gut, might work with rats to

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