To catch a RAT!

A week or so ago I spotted what looked like a pile of dirt or mulch in the corner of our deck shed. I asked Frank if he had dumped some dirt in the shed and the answer was no........hmmm....let's go look at this. We found 2 actual holes that were dug and a couple days later there were about 8. We didn't know what was doing this - a mole? racoon? possum? squirel? Nope. It was a big rat. Frank found a have-a-heart trap and caught this smart rat with peanut butter and nuts. He had to do it right and position the cage in a way where it couldn't just get to the snacks but had to be caught b/c at first it figured how to just eat the treats. We might find more but hopefully not!
