My neighbor has a large rat running around his tool shed at night, so we setup a trail cam to monitor its activity and see if we could trap it. Although we got some great video clips, the rat was too smart for the trap. Watch how it plays with and moves the trap without tripping it...
Tonight, we are going to switch the bait from cheese to peanut butter, drop some poison bait and then see what happens.
Update 10/27/2024: That rat outsmarted us once again. It is so big that it was able to reach the peanut butter without putting enough weight on the plate to trip the trap. However, it did take the poison bait, so we may get it that way. Video posted at https://youtu.be/cApdJcVSIv4.
Update 10/28/2024: It appears we may have gotten the rat with the poison bait as it did not reappear on last night's video...
