Well if you are here you have a mouse or rat problem and believe me I know what I am talking about! Rats are very dangerous to your health at the least and the for sure death of your chicks. Rats carry all kinds of diseases that are super easy transferred by simply touching something they peed and then you touch your mouth or eyes and boom, four days later your family has to look for a casket.
I have seen with my own eyes a rat killing a brand new chick in my brooder on the porch even though it was a solid tub with a cover that had tiny holes and one that was just a bit bigger and that is where the devil went in and killed several chicks one the head was half eaten off. It was gruesome and I bought those from Rual King beautiful Buff Laced Polish babies. I literally hate rats. I am sure God had a purpose for them, but not in my house or coop!
So rather than humanely catch the suckers and let them loose elsewhere and do the same thing to another family, I kill them as fast as I can!
YOU MUST TAKE A RAT PROBLEM SERIOUSLY!
And here is how:
We bough hundreds of glue traps and it was a disaster in the house and you can't use it in the coop. On my porch I put them, but behold I forgot to close the door and some smarty pie chicken came in and naturally got stuck. What a torture that was poor baby. Unfortunately, with the glue traps you catch lizards, frogs, roaches which are all food for the chickens, so glue is out!
Anyway, below you will find the quicker choices and less trouble for sure. I actually, build my own trap with a bucket and put a close hanger wire through each side of the rim with a soda can added some peanut butter on the can and inside was a bunch of water, takes about 2 minutes for them to drown. You can try that if you are on a budget.
