[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 832441, member: 176256"] Well I have bought a larger version but whether it's from the same company I don't know as the traps are in France. You have to adopt a different technique with rats compared to mice as they are more suspicious anything new. You're supposed to put bait down for a few nights without arming the trap. This gets the rat used to taking the bait and then, when you arm the trap, the rat "should" try to take the bait without undue caution. Having said that I never had any success catching rats that way. We used poison bait which, given that we are away from our place in France so much, is a better idea anyway. There are two types available in France that I'm aware of. Grain and a paper sachet containing some fatty substance. Both are colured blue for identification. Again, you're supposed to start off by putting ordinary food down for them and put the poison bait down when they're used to feeding from that spot although my experience is that they'll eat the stuff anyway!
