After reviewing numerous rat eradication products at my local hardware store, including poison, glue and a very high tech electrocution box, I have settled on the spring traps that really do a number on your fingers if you do not exercise extreme caution. For bait I will use the nuts as these seems irresistible to El Diablo. The nuts were difficult to put on the trap with all the band aids on my fingers. Given my competency with these devices, I am now glad that I didn't use the electrocution box.
