Thats the reason I would not recommend bait. Get ready to cut open walls/ceilings if one of them dies in a hard to get to place.

I had small rats called Norwegian rats, best identified by a body 1 1/2 - 2 times bigger than a mouse and tail that is at least the length of the body.

I finally got rid of mine with the RatZapper http://www.ratzapper.com/. It looks like a traditional live trap door trap but it can only be entered from one end. The food is placed inside the other end which is closed with a grille type end. In the center on the floor is a section that is electrically charged . If they cross it to get to the food they are electorocuted. Powered by 4-aa batteries.

Trick was finding what they like. From cat food pellets to bran flakes.
