The entire weeks storm caused other side of the house to have water leaks. But because of the rotten gutter, it has also broke our ceiling near it. Which allowed big rats to come in and wreck the place. I caught one before, but there was another it was very smart. I thought it has learned itself from Rat cages. Another reason I couldn't catch it because the cages But this morning I was able to catch that rat. This time they weren't small rats running around that this big rat fell for it. It pestered us for days that I out of desperation I end up browsing for rat poison. Well, no need to buy it anymore. Still, I might purchase a new rat trap because these are old traps, I was lucky. have a nice day

They can create a menace. Thankfully it is caught. You must be relieved. Hope that no more rats are there. But you better be prepared with a new rat cage. You might need one.

Hello @arunima25 There will be unless we renovate the roof in general which is not happening yet. Only the other side of roof and gutter was fixed.

@Letranknight2015 Oh! I see. Do you have plans to fix it soon? Anyways, the least you can do is have a new rat cage. These critters are a menace

My trap was not in a proper position which is probably why I couldn't get it @Mshafeeq

They are undoubtedly intelligent and learn through experience. However, their one vulnerability lies in hunger, as food becomes their greatest weakness. If you present an irresistible food item, they will go to great lengths to obtain it, often at any cost. This can ultimately lead to their downfall, as their determination to acquire the food may result in them being trapped.

I think i got lucky because I've been trying to get this rat for days @rsa101 but also maybe I didn't position the trap right.
