 DSh> What do they use as bait to catch the rats? [EG]  I've found 
 DSh>  that  raisins and peanut butter work well for mice.

 DSac> LOL.

   Gail said that I was wierd when I posted that.  Now she says we both
   are:-}}

 DSac> Raisins?  I never tried that, I only use peanut butter.

  Raisins are sweet, have water content, and stick to the prong on
  the end of the trap quite well!

 DSac> About a month ago, we started hearing skittering in the walls and

  I think they must hibernate in the winter.   I discovered evidence a
  couple months ago -- hole chewed in the side of my bag of apple wood
  chips.   Must have smelled good, but I doubt they got much nourishment
  out of the wood chips.

 DSac> So I left the hole alone, but since I knew now where the mice were
 DSac> entering the kitchen, set up a Victor trap there (the old-fashioned
 DSac> snappers, not one of those useless "catch them alive" things they
 DSac> make now) and baited it with peanut butter.  It snapped almost
 DSac> immediately.

  I think that our mice have learned how to lick the PB off of the
  lever.  It seems to be the raisin wedged in that gets to them.
