Bucket

 To create a simple trap, place a piece of plywood on the edge of a plastic bucket. A bait is fixed on its edge. Catching the aroma of food, the rat goes to the edge of the plywood, and then falls into the bucket. You can increase the effectiveness of this trap by filling the container with water. You should fill a third, because rats can swim. Therefore, if the bucket is full, the animal can get out of it.

Cardboard and glue

 Making these traps is very easy. A sheet of cardboard must be greased with high-quality glue. In the center you need to place the bait. It will be able to attract several rats at once.

This trap is quite effective. Use it on the street. To create a trap at the bottle, you need to cut off the bottom. The base must be buried in the ground. Running around the site, the rat will sooner or later fall into this bottle. It will not be able to get out due to the fact that the walls of the container are smooth.
