Super rat trap 136/365 Mon Sep 27

We have chickens who eat grain, so we have rats who also like to eat grain. Dave built a wire box that slides inside the chicken pen with 4 rat traps on it. The theory is that the rats think the door is open and they can get at the grain, but instead......snap! He has caught 3 so far. Two rats went in as a team after their single friend did not return. They went in together and did not come out.
