I am aware of 3 ways of attacking the problem. 1) trap(s) 2) poison 3) cat(s) RE: traps. I understand that you need lots of them to get *ALL* rats fast otherwise they get wise to the traps and sneer at your efforts. peanut-butter was recommended as bait, as they can't remove it from the trap. RE: poison. I don't want them to die in the walls and smell up the house, so I don't think I'll try this. RE: cat(s). I understand I need a very *BIG* and *HUNGRY* cat. can I borrow someone's ?? Any thoughts and recommendations welcome. Mail, I'll summarize. to: ARPA: werner@ut-ngp UUCP: ihnp4!ut-sally!ut-ngp!werner
