Rat Race

 

So "rat race" will forever take on a new meaning in my mind. So we have a slight rat problem despite having all our food either in the cabinet or in Tupperware which apparently rats can chew through. They are getting so desperate they eat through an oven mitt. In response we decided Friday would be the day! Lucha! (Fight!) We divided up into 3 teams and started strategizing. Midway through this endeavor the lights se fue! (went out!) No problem, we continued by candlelight. haha. Our trap we a chute like contraption starting at a usual point of entry for the rats with a bag which contained peanut butter (so sad but we had to make some sacrifices) to lure them in, and then at the bottom a water bucket...self explanatory. Despite how great this trap seemed in theory we were quite doubtful it would actually function. We also used an old regular trap as well.
