    Cover the compost heap with plastic and use exhaust gas from car, toss the neighbors cats in under the plastic for good measure.

    Singe some bacon and lash it to the trap trigger with cotton (so it can’t come off easily) Tie or pin down the trap so the rat can’t run away with it then set the trap and wait. The delay caused by the cotton not giving will go toward the trap snapping closed on the rat. Try it and thank me later.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Also set the trap with some bricks forming an alley so that the rat can only access the trigger/bait from the best angle.
    Use enough gun

    This is my pencil case trap, works well as bait does not need to be placed on trap but can be stored at other end of box, a toddler could put their hand in the hole, but usually only once...you will notice plenty of chew marks around entry hole so shows it is not exactly humane at times but gives the rat plenty of time to tell his mates to fuck off elsewhere.
