I bet you all thought I was gonna make a joke about a local political party...
Not this time..
Couple of weeks ago I thought I spotted a rat tail near a bush my yard. Didn't really pay attention because it could have been a pale snake. Couple of days later I was told by my woman we got rats. 1 mom and 4 kid rats all peeking out from a air vent along the foundation of our house.
I could have went and complained at the town board that we have a rat issue in town but instead I went to Valu Home center to pick up the world famous Victor rat traps.

Natural finished woodbase snap trap. Metal trigger and a safety catch for use in setting.
I don't like the sticky traps or poison. I could have used a live trap and taken them for a ride but didn't.
First off wear gloves. Mice and rats can smell your scent on the trap and on the bait. Plus you should protect yourself from germs.
I like to use peanut butter topped with an apple just like this. You really don't need the apple but seeing it's their last supper you might as well be nice. Be very careful when setting the trap. You can really hurt yourself.
