Going to bite the bullet here and admit that I have a rat (at least one) that I cannot catch. I have found a couple of places where he (hopefully he) likes to hang out and discovered that he loves Butterfinger candy bars and unpopped popcorn. But I cannot get him to go anywhere near a trap of any kind from the old fashioned wooden traps to the new fangled ones that look like a lion's mouth to glue-sticky things which I question anyway...although I had trouble getting one off my slipper when it caught me.

While I have a certain grudging respect for such a wiley critter, he simply has to go. I'm at the point where I'm considering putting out some poison traps and just hoping he doesn't die inside a wall somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Please don't suggest a cat.
