Update. That fker was a pretty good size one, about 8" body length. I had it pinned up against the wall after it set off the spring trap at around 1 last night. I rushed to see its crushed body but it took the bait and the trap was clean and no rat. Somehow he got downstairs and I hear my wife screaming my name and all four of us went rat hunting at wee hours of the day. Moved, searched everything I possibly could but saw no trace of any rat but we did see pee at various places. It was hiding up in the curtains. Smart 'lil bastard. We made a barrier and I has a piece of plywood and pinned it up against the wall, and gave it a few good whack with my leg hoping to injured it enough that I can grab it. No dice, but I did squeeze more piss out of him against the base board. Before we had a chance to get at it, he ran over my wife's foot and disappeared. wife and I went to breakfast this morning defeated and bought a few of the largest sticky traps. It said no bait needed but I am thinking of leaving some Slimjim in the middle to attract it. What do you think?
