Jim in Anacortes
Life of the Party
Just a quick glimpse of him was all it took for me to go full on "Daniel Boone" on his ass. I ordered a "live trap" online, set it up and got one the first night. Sadly, the little guy did not survive the night and was dead in the morning. Apparently we have "brown" rats and "black" rats (both are known by other names). I think he was a "black" rat from the photos. My neighbor has a "compost pile" that is probably not helping, but I'm on a mission to nip this in the bud. I did not get the regular rat traps as I was worried about squirrels and other animals....and I like letting them go better than dumping the body in the garbage. It's a bummer that I've got rats around but ,to be honest, it's kind of fun being a trapper.
