Ask any prepper, survivalist, homesteader, farmer, regular Joe, the worst thing about putting a great deal of time and money into stocking your shelves is having that money and time go to waste when rats and mice get into your food.
You can lay out dozens of the traditional mouse traps only to have the critters avoid death every single time.
Poison will only work for so long, too, as mice and rats can often develop a resistance to various kinds of toxins.
What you need is a trap the critters will gladly walk right into but won't be able to walk away from. To do that, you'll need a few supplies that you may not think of as of typical use in a dedicated killing device.
To learn more about this amazing rat trap, take a look at the how-to tips on the next page.

Hey I got that

Yep. Keep them around my homestead. They’re incredibly effective.
I think I’ll build one or two. Btw, I hear that floating a layer of sunflower seeds works too. They jump in or fall in while sitting on the rim.
Rats are stupid, and tasty
In cold climates use antifreeze if used in unheated cabin, garage or shed.
I’ve built one. It’s crazy effective
gonna try it Veronica
Works every time.
Jeff Otte have you put yours out yet
,
Put mine out last week. Used a 20oz gatoraid bottle & peanut butter. Next day, peanut butter gone & nothing in the bucket. I’ll try again but if the squirrels get to it your done because they remember that a bucket means a meal and they can leap out of the water. Trail cam helps identify what’s going on.

Careful this might work on some Blondes. haha
Piss on all that. I’m evil when I set up mouse or rat traps. I superglue the bait down so they have to tug on it. Works every time!
I practice my trap making skills. The Windless is my fav
Never worked for me
Another method that doesn’t use poisons is a mixture of quick oats with quick set drywall compound or plaster of paris in a gallon ice cream container. Place in a dry location only the rodents can get. Once they eat some it will plug them up.
But then they die and rot somewhere in your house…
FYI, Nick Greer — you may need to build this to get the last rat in the backyard!
Austin C Jordan – Yeh, that is a bit of a problem. I found that method from a farmer who was trying to get the rats in his barn not in his walls. I personally use a tradition rat trap found at the hardware store using peanut butter for bait or a muskrat single spring trap for the really big ones. I tried poison bait once, fine for mice, but rats have too much meat on them and smell awful for a couple weeks, not to mention the hundreds of flies that show up.
