Wasn't there a pest control product that electrocutes mice/rats? If it gives off sparks parang delikado.

Spring loaded traps and racumin works well in my experience. In an earlier thread a poster suggested using bagoong as bait, you can coat the main bait with it, rats supposedly can't resist the smell.

Racumin works well enough, but it could get messy/smelly. But imho better get rid of the rats asap before they take up permanent residence.

Naalala ko lang:

- my uncle kept big dogs once. At night they'd hunt rats, then drop them in front of my uncle, waiting for a reward. Odd thing is they were never trained to do so
- one time there was this rat that was going through the death throes after eating racumin. Yung kapitbahay ko kinuha pa yung air rifle niya(the types that use CO2 used for hunting birds) and shot it point blank. Sure glad it wasn't a shotgun :D
