Oh Rats Part 2

So, we have had a black, "tom cat" rat trap, under the bushes, near the front door of our house, for awhile now. Ron has tried peanut butter, taco meat, ham, and cheese as bait. Sometimes, just the bait was gone. Sometimes the trap was sprung- but caught nothing. One time, the bait was still there and it and the trap was covered with ants. Ron was getting pretty frustrated. I'm surprised he didn't just drop the whole thing in the trash a couple of days ago. But instead, he put new bait on it and put it back out. Last night, he was doing his usual late night thing- (watching a baseball game on the computer- don't even ask about that. hehe) when he hears a scratching noise outside near the door. So he goes down stairs, gets the flash light to look and see what it is. The trap is gone. It must have walked away. Probably not on a rat though....

there is probably a possum walking around with a black rat trap attached to him. :)
