Cornbread rat cure

That is hilarious, an addicted rat. Great job on the real life testing.

I always take some scientific studies with a grain of salt unless the results have been replicated. Your experience validates what the other studies found.

Ya I had dogs so I was weary about using poison. I tried traps and every kind known to man. They were successful but slow going and the rats would get wise to them. Once you have any kind of population you can't trap them as fast as they breed.
I tried a few of those methods and although I wasn't a true believer I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.
It actually did. The time I wasted messing with them gave them time to really build the numbers to get out of control. Lesson learned.

You know, last time I checked with Howard E., I lamented that he wasn't on the forum and asked why. He said he got tired of giving out advice that people wouldn't follow. He did an amazing job of researching and presenting the facts but he just got worn down. You said you tried a few of those methods, Howard E.'s three methods? Which one worked for you. He would be happy as hell to know his message got through to and that it solved your problem.

Rodent reproduction, their gestation period is three weeks, they wean at another three weeks and two weeks later they become of breeding age. Credible science states a pair of rats can breed another 1,250 in one year, this story claims it with unlimited resources, no disease, and no predators that can produce a half billion off spring in three years. 500 million potential rats from just one breeding pair... Wait till the gubermint figures out they can feed them to us... or feed us to them... Solyent Green! https://www.qualityassurancemag.com...ce-half-a-billion-descendants-in-three-years/

Moonshiner, we have been going about this all wrong. The idea of mixing cornbread mix with rats might have some merit.

I didn't even make it that far. That's nasty stuff

Dude, that is what the OP's cornbread mix with baking soda is for. Baking soda keeps fridges smelling fresh, right? Now git your skinning knife out and that cornbread mix whipped up so we can bread some nice Chicago chickens for dinner.

Turns out I was just ignorant....

Apparently the bucket traps work. I’ve never tried them but I second the traps being worth about one dead rat. I had one still alive in a snap trap and my cat wouldn’t finish it off so my pug did. That dog was better than the traps and the cat combined

You fry a couple up and get back to us.
