  Pack Rats

I used Decon in my shop to knock down the mouse population. But I put in locations where the mutts couldn't get to it.

My brother has a problem with stripies (chipmunks). His neighbor taught him a trick that has been working very good and has proven to be entertaining as well.

He takes a large old-style wash basin and fills it with water, but not to the top. He then rigs up a plank as a ramp. He covers the top of the water with sunflower seeds and makes a trail up the ramp. They go up the ramp, see the massive food in the tub and go for it. If they can swim, they survive until they get too tired to swim. Then they are gone. Fish it out using something and start all over again.

Something like that may work for your rats too. But you gott make sure the sides are steep enough that they can't climb out and deep enough they can't keep their heads above water.

Murf & Mark, those electrical pastes do work. I've used them on certain electical connections as an engineer to prevent corrosion from cutting out the electrical circuit. They do conduct electricity and may be just what you need to make the electric rat circuit work.

Personnaly, I love the rat mortar myself. I'm at work and deperately trying not to laugh too loudly. It reminds me of those air powered pumpkin launchers. I bet it would work. Even if they survived, they'd be pretty shaken up.

I hide my Dcon boxes under and behind large objects where the mice/rodents can go and the dogs can't. Glad I checked this posting again, I remember seeing a mouse in the shop earlier this week. I need to get more set out. They go through it like kids with candy.
