Back in the good old days when I was an undergraduate, I heard how they
"trapped" rats in one of the housing annexs. 

Some of the students lived in an old house on campus which of course
had rats in the attic. As is the case with alot of rats standard poisons
just didn't work. Someone made up a batch of contact explosives
and then covered them with peanut butter. The goodies were placed in
the attic for the rats to feed on. Every now and then late at night
there would be a small explosion in the attic. You can guess the rest.
As far as I know rats can not built up an immunity to this method of
extermination.
