Poison pellets are under the hoods off all the vehicles and the water bucket is set up. If I don't get it tonight I'll have to find my old rat traps or buy new ones.I am clearly the slower one of the bunch here,, why not open a box of D con and sleep like a baby?

Got a fishing pole ? Prop it up and hang a small hook close to the ground . Put bait on the barb only , just a small amount , to much and they will steal it . If you hook em , reel it up so he hangs there . When the rest of his rat buddies see what happened to him they will all run away .

El Raton means mouse in spanny, so i can see where the confusion comes in. How do you say rat in canadian? i'd say its a rat. Mouse shite is much smaller. Rats are far more destructive. A guy i work with battled for two years with them. They cost him thousands to get rid of. He had three separate professional exterminators come in. He'd get a few here and there, but it was really like a war for him. Some he got with traps, some with poison, some with the swimming pool. They'd come in waves. He finally traced them back to an old drain pipe in the side of his yard. I guess they will choose to nest in the same spot. This guy lives in a NICE suburb, so it was even more strange. He also got a cat, but the cat never did anything. After he dug up and destroyed the nest, he notched a few more kills, and declared victory. He's been rat free for over six months. (except for the rubber ones we sporadically leave on his desk) Ever thought of tossing a game camera in the area? maybe under your car or near the dog food? You may get a good idea of the scope of the problem. Good luck amigo. Keep us posted.

Never really had a vermin problem, but I imagine I would be posted up with a spotter and one of my ruger 10/22 awaiting the kill shot. It may even be time for a silencer.

It's a rat, zero doubt, thanks guys. I said it to my wife after I saw the foot prints a few weeks back and then convinced myself it was a mouse after seeing the turds and the small places it was getting into. I guess I was rationalizing that they could be mouse turds based on my own occasional mega
It set off two traps last night (but left the bait?) and 5 of the 8 poison pellets I left out can't be found. It moved all but one of them, but I don't know if it hoarded them, or ate them. I see it's been feasting on my oranges as well. I should hire some Mexicans to pick them, but those guys are all up in CA.
I just bought 5 rat traps and stuck them in a bag of dog food to scent them, so maybe tonight will be the night, but I'm running out of bait options. It knows peanut butter, cheese, chorizo and oddly located dog food pellets mean trouble, so I guess chicken, steak and oranges will be tonight's bait. The little F%&#er eats better than me!
It just occurred to me that we're leaving home for a couple weeks very soon. If I don't get it dead by then my vehicles will be ruined because if I leave the pellets out it'll knock them on the ground and my dogs will eat them.

Correct, "raton" is a mouse and "rata" is a rat. Cigarettes are called "cigaros" and cigars are called "puros" It's a confusing language

Were the bait pellets fresh? If so, it ate them,,although i guess it isn't really hungry..... I've never heard of a pet eating them,but understand that isn't a chance we're gonna take. Damn vermin.It would be rewarding to see it in a trap. But I bet he got enough poison to be dying about now. But then again, I think ours are much hungrier than yours

Rat bait stations are safer for pets and children, the ones that you fill with green blocks. bait your snap traps with dog food as they already trust that food, and don't let them run out of dog food before they start to feed on the green blocks and then don't let them run out of green blocks until they're all dead. Once the colony is dead there will probably be one left (the alpha male). I went through this a couple months ago, I think I won the war but those RATS are smart, very smart, and they learn from their own experiences and from others

Oh and the poison! I used the one with an antidote (vitamin D I think) for accidental poisoning. Some rodenticides have no antidote and don't seem to be better. Just different poisons for when they adapt to one type.

8 traps out last night and not even a turd this morningThis is why I didn't want to use the poison, but if it killed it so be it. I'll keep trying for a few months.
I keep hearing about nests. I suspect this (these?) guys are coming up from the sewer. The last three I saw above ground did and after killing two of them I dumped a bottle of Rat Treat one man hole upstream from my place and was rat free for almost 5 years after. Time to repeat.
