A rat or a field mouse? I've never seen a rat around here although there are plenty of field mice. It's not very good rat habitat. I leave the rodent problems to the Cat Force. When I was a kid we dried some squash/pumpkin seeds in the fall and that attracted mice. My mother had a thing about mice so my father put down some poison. It was some sort of phosphorous concoction that smoked as you spread it on the bread. No more mice. Fast forward to just before Christmas when there was a cold snap. The dog had a house out in the chicken house but we let him in the cellar. Of course he found the long forgotten rat poison. Scratch one beagle. No way would I use poison. I'd rather not kill the hawks, eagles, cats, raccoons, and other things that might eat a dead rat.
