Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping Bait for rats

I've got rats in my toolshed.

Been using a small have-a-heart trap to catch them, in case I catch a silver greay that I want to "re-locate" instead of killing.

Problem is, the mice keep eating the bait, peanutbutter.

Have caught three rats, but most days the bait is gone, and NO rat.

Finally set out a Victor mousetrap and caught two with one setting! Both heads under the spring snapper.

Any Ideas on bait that might work better in the have-a-heart to catch rats only????

Thanks! Virgil B.
