Had one take up residence in our loft a couple of years ago. It was smarter than both me and the council rodent exterminator put together...even tricked me into setting off a trap on my thumb.
The exterminator tried half a dozen traps cunningly arranged but it wasn't until the third different poison we got the little rascal. At one point we considered moving home.

This one must have died of starvation I think, it was trapped in the seat bridge.

I'll bet it would not have been a very pleasant car to sit in for a few weeks.

Hi
I seem to remember Rick hurting his fingers on a trap at one time? I think it included a burn!
We set a trap in a mates shed, turned round to set another and the first went off, it was that over run with the little devils.
Cheers
