We have rats. Not just in the critter sheds, but also in the mudroom, cellar and occasionally the kitchen. Our cat Jenny :catmoon: is very sweet -- too sweet to be the hunter that Marilla was. (Marilla was the cat in my avatar.)
In this very hot weather, fruit ripens faster than we can use it sometimes. Brian bought a huge bunch of bananas and you know how "fragrant" bananas get as they ripen. I can't stand ripe bananas, but Brian and Elsie the goose have been enjoying them and I've been putting the skins into the compost bin.
They've been disappearing like magic.
I wasn't certain at first, but the breakfast banana skins were gone this evening, and when I put the skin from Elsie's bedtime treat into the bucket, it was gone within an hour.
Okay, RATS! Now I know what you'd like in the live trap! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
One more idea . . . kind of gruesome. We have rat snap traps set but sometimes they catch a mouse instead. Something has been eating the dead mice very promptly. Next time, I'll put the dead mouse into a live trap and see what happens. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
