  1. How to Catch Rats

    Share Share Post
    Get a tar barrel and put it beside a low wall or something low. Put a wet sack across the mouth of the barrel. Put it in a way so that if you touched it it would fall in.
    Put some bread on the sack.
    When the rats come to get the bread their weight will make the sack fall in.
