Garage
I have a rat in my garage...help

We have a two car attached gararge where my wife keeps her two cars...along with tons of other crap for her gardening so there's plenty of places to run and hide. I found a hole in the side wall where he chewed his way in from the outside. There's droppings in a few places and evidence that he's been up into the cars....esp. her VW. This AM I discovered a pile of styrofoam 'pellets' and droppings under the VW. There is a cavity where he can get in and, I guess, chewed thru something and the foam came out. Dunno if he's living up there now or not.

I saw him on a shelf, briefly, the other night. I do carry a pistol with 22mag snake shot but doubt I could get a decent shot off. Have set traps in a few places with dog food as bait.

Any other suggestions muchly appreciated as they can do real damage to cars, as we all know. I was thinking of getting some coyote urine to spread around but dunno if it works...maybe bobcat urine...
