The rat is back. Fortunately, it's confined to the laundry room. Still, that's where we wash our clothes and the kids walk through that room to go to and from the back yard. I put down eight glue traps the other night but they didn't do any good. I actually saw little paw prints on one of the traps. I'm not quite sure what to do now. I had pretty much pinned all my hopes on the glue traps. We're going out of town for Thanksgiving and don't want to let the rat have run of the laundry room for five days. I'm considering getting some poison pellets and sprinkling them around the laundry room. It's a method the rat hasn't seen before and won't suspicious about. The downside is that we don't know where he hangs out during the day and that's where he'll likely end up dying.
