We have many rats in Florida - On the water, fruits trees, tropical environment - do the math.

I have found that the best method of dealing with a semi conscience, poisoned rat - is grab a long handled shovel - swing it well over your head and bring the flat part crashing down upon said varmit. Shovel will make a sound like a "toon skillet" when the right combination of momentum, speed and deflection is met.

"Toon Skillet" is what cartoon characters use when they hit each other in the head with a skillet, usually forming the profile of the character in the body of the skillet. The sound is almost of a large bell, BOING!

Use same long handled shovel to discard of varmit.
