Chip, is this the gigantic mouse trap? I have one, but am afraid of my fingers trying to load it... lol....

I think that trap will snap them right off...

My suegra gave us one of those to catch a pesky rat that we watched squeeze under our front door and run into the kitchen [never to be seen again] . First we tried the poison, and when that didn't work we tried the trap. It looked like an oversized tostonera, and I stayed far away from it belgiank - I think it could cripple a bear.

Mr.Ego baited it alternately with cheese, peanut butter, longaniza. The thing he liked the best was bananas - we'd find a big hole in one in our fruit bowl every day - GROSS - but hard to use as bait. Either we didn't tickle his tastebuds or he snuck back out under the front door because we never did see him again.

I think the rat ate the poison and went nuts with thirst. I am sure he ran outside to the nearest colmado to buy a fria.
Good thing about the rats poison which makes them dehydrated is that the rat doesn't die right there in between a hidden corner or under the bed, he runs away to find a water source and usually goes outside of the house if its raining. There he dies.

He's back.............

Nah, he is just waiting until you least expect him, then....

Just think , while you are laying in bed tonight he is peering at you with those beady little eyes, gnashing those sharp little teeth, just waiting until you fall asleep, and then...............:cheeky:

maldito rat the diablo. I was sick like a dog yesterday. I had a huge headache and vomited. Do you think this Hijo de Puta rat put the rat-poison in my food while I was away?

You are dealing with a non-barrio Rat, lol. No only did he try to poison you, but he sold some of the rat-poison to other rats...

For the first time in you life, you wish you were around some poor, lazy, barrio rat :cheeky::cheeky:

I have seen the size of the rats in DR so I wouldn't want one in my house either LOL my first rat sighting was one afternoon while gazing off the back patio at the beautiful scenery, the mountains, the mango trees, the plantains, the neighbors pasture full of goats...the giant brown rodent running across the back yard...wait, giant brown rodent, what is that animal I ask ...thinking its a gopher or a possum only to find out its a rat. Yuck! (The spiders are big too in case nobody else noticed) ;)

if it was that large I would say it was a mongoose, the rats here are actually fairly small and quite cute looking - they just need a better image promoter
