If they’re already inside, don’t reach for a poison that stinks up your walls. Instead, try the old-fashioned snap trap. It’s quick, humane-ish (it’s a trap, not a spa), and much more effective.
Here’s the trick: don’t use cheese (that’s a cartoon lie). Use peanut butter, bacon, or even a piece of dried fruit. Bait the trap but don’t set it for two nights—let them get comfortable. Then bam, set it down.
What About Those Ultrasonic Devices?
You know, those little plugs that promise to drive rats crazy with high-pitched sounds? Spoiler alert: they don’t work. Rats get used to the noise in about a week. Save your money for a nice coffee or a really good trap.
