roof rat

There was a small creature living in our rain gutters. He finally showed his face on the porch about a week ago.

He was small (and cute) for a rat, and didn't look like one of those nasty rats you see. He was more like a giant gerbil or large fieldmouse.

Anyhow, a rat trap from walmart and a smear of peanut butter on the trigger took him to his maker within about an hour. We saw where he was coming/going and put it there.

Re-baited it, but have heard no further noises. We shall see.
