Snap Traps are quick.
Glue traps are good but they’ll chew off their own leg to get out. And rats heal fast… don’t forget, we’ve had them as pets. If they do end up dying on a glue board, it’ll stink … under your deck, in under shingles and in a wall…
Don’t use poison. What happens is if the rat wanders off and dies… and Sophie finds it and takes a bite, like dogs do… she will die as well.
