I guess my question is what would you do?
1. Poison
2. Kill w/rat traps
3. Catch and relocate
Catch and relocate. You'd fell really bad if somebody's prize pet or child got into the poison or was harmed by the trap. I use a Havahart. A piece of apple coated with peanut butter and it works everytime. Be sure to take it far enough away that it can't find its way back. I take them to the golf course about 5 miles away across the Interstate.
