One pleasant evening I walked into the kitchen and a RAT (a FREAKING RAT!) jumped from the kitchen floor and INTO the open dishwasher. I reached over and flipped the door shut behind it and then stopped to do several things… 1) make sure my heart rate came down… there’s nothing like a RAT IN YOUR HOUSE to FREAK YOU OUT. 2) Look around for suspects, and the House Tiger blinked at me innocently, BINGO. Thanks dude. 3) Figure out what to do NEXT.
The dishwasher is a brand new Bosch, it took me seven years to finally get the dishwasher I wanted so turning it ON, while CONSIDERED, was quickly ruled out. Maybe not so quickly, but EVENTUALLY ruled out. Luckily I had a box of these in the pantry and I got it out and baaaarely opened the dishwasher (that thing might of karate-ninja-leaped out at me, maybe, probably not…. But i wasn’t taking chances) and slid it into the upper “cup” shelf of the dishwasher and quickly slammed the door. The House Tiger found this entertaining and meowed encouragement. B**stard. Then remembered my grannie used to put peanut butter on mousetraps so i dabbed a little on the longest bread knife I own, cracked open the washer door again and dabbed a little peanut butter in the middle in between the two traps. Then I went and watched something relaxing, like Die Hard, to calm down and wait.
In less than 30 minutes i heard the “wappita wappita wappita” of something trying to run around in the dishwasher with a glue trap stuck to its’ foot and opened the washer to success! Then I called a Mandatory Staff Meeting to debrief the situation and brought the rat for the discussion. Neither admitted fault, both were highly entertained, and I suspect they might want to do it again just to watch the fireworks.
Now, here’s the only problem with this trap. Once you have easily and efficiently CAUGHT the rodent, you STILL have an ALIVE RODENT. There’s a difference between killing something and making it suffer for a week in a garbage can before eventually dying of dehydration or whatever… I’m not here for THAT business. So, we (and by “we” I mean me, the rat in the trap, and the two suspect cats) went out in the driveway where i dropped a bucket full of gravel on him, the bucket squished him and that was the end of that. There may be a better solution but I was under duress. Don’t hate on me for killing a rat on a rodent trap review. That’s why we’re here, right?
Anyway, I ordered a couple more boxes of these for my pantry, having a spare and a spare, spare seemed like the prudent thing to do… especially with MY questionable cats. I uploaded a photo of the “Staff Meeting,” in retrospect, that was too much peanut butter but I wasn’t leaving anything to chance at that point. The traps flip open like a book but the rat’s “wappita wappita” running around in the dishwasher made them separate.
All in all, these are inexpensive, work perfectly, are easy to open and put wherever you need them and there’s plenty of seriously sticky glue for itsy bitsy mousie feet.
