Invited vermin (ie gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) will be permitted to be coddled, as long as they don't escape and become feral.<BR/><BR/>Live-catching traps are the way to go. The problem with neck-snapping traps is that they sometimes splatter brains and gore, or maim the rat (or raccoon or squirrel) and they end up dying inside the wall. The sticky traps are inhumane, and rat poison creates more problems than it solves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16414599.post-54099775915260739172008-01-14T09:16:00.000-06:002008-01-14T09:16:00.000-06:00Sorry.
