This rat trap anyone can build. You make it once and it catches many rats.
A bucket, some peanut butter, a pipe and some water. Yup, that’s pretty simple.
One improvement suggested by someone using this trap is to add antifreeze to the water, which instantly kills the rats.
Works great
Barbaric I would say…
Don’t put anything in the bucket catch them and release them in your local politicians house
My son did this when he was 8 years old– 20 years ago. Bucket with a board as a ramp, sprayed WD40 on the inside to make it slippery so they couldn’t get out, and put peanut butter crackers in the bottom. It worked!
Put one at the front door of Congress, Just put a dollar bill in place of the peanut butter !

WILL TRY
I have done this and yes it does work.
antifreeze kills babies toddlers and kids and dogs and cats and squirrels
I made one while living in a house that was over 100 years old! The closets and cabinets had so many holes in the floor they were covered in Prince Alpert cans that were flatened out nailed down! We never noticed there was a problem till it got cold outside and wow, they were every where lol! We are talking generations! We were getting wore out loading traps. We took a 5 gallon bucket and put 10 inches of water in it and took a Styrofoam plate and put toothpicks all over the plate! We took chunks of cheese and stuck them on both sides of the plate. It floated in the water and the wet cheese smell would call them in! We put it up next to a kitchen cabinet and they would jump in and eventually drowned when the plate kept fipping over on them! The first night we got around twenty mice and rats! It took about 8 nights before we stopped getting any rodents! We would put it out one night every couple weeks to catch the stragglers! I figured we caught over 100 victims! Lol
