Well I went to precautions because I knew I was dealing with an educated rat. Since then, I've typically used latex gloves in setting for them. Maybe not necessary but it can't hurt.

A good idea when handling traps and the rats because of the nature of them and diseases anyways...

Right now traps are pulled. Corporate execs came in and it wouldn't look good having traps everywhere. I'm resetting this Sat. morning. I keep trying to figure how to set a foothold somewhere. All the trapping is taking place on a concrete floor. Finding a place where pallets aren't being moved or an employee working nearby is the tough part. Talking to WCS they were really recomending Detour gel, saying that the burning sensation it gives the rat will make it leave the safety of the insulation and more likely to enter a trap. Anyone have any experience with the stuff?

From what I was told, it's basically like pepper spray in a caulking tube. Put it in openings and passages and it will act like it's on fire and be more likely to run into a trap for cover.

Had a smart one last year that finally fell for a bread and sardine ball.

Well, the Detour finally came in. Despite the labelling telling me not to I had to find out. I did the entire application of this stuff with a dab of it on the back of my hand. I hope it irritates the rats skin more than it did mine. At most I felt a slight warmth, but will see, it may tear rat up. Looking at the label, it's made by Pigeonx, probably the same stuff. White pepper and mineral oil.
