I had evidence of them in my shop, but not in the house. Being that they are just outside, I'm sure that they will get inside eventually if they aren't already. I'm going to check the attic tomorrow.
Is there any good resources out there about rats in Western WA, or are rats just a normal problem for a house in Snohomish county that was built in the late 70s?

If Jake is trapping his nudist neighbors, there is nearly an endless supply. Better get more traps.

I meant Bearhunter's neighbors but clearing out the nude rats at o'l Lake Bronson wouldn't hurt...

:tup: Where did you get a live trap that small?
The trap is 17 inches long and 6 inches tall/wide
http://www.havahart.com/x-small-1-door-trap
It's the only thing I've found that'll catch wood rats. I've used victor rat traps (all sprung, bait missing, no rat) I've tried the tomcat rat snap traps also (sprung, no rat) then finally these live traps and been catching them good.
I was surprised they were able to trip the tomcat and not get caught, buggers are super fast.

I just bought some more mouse and rat traps my neighbors have several bird feeders out For the mice and rats to enjoy! I usually sit out in the back when it's getting dark and pick the rodents off with my Gamo pellet gun it's pretty funthat sounds like fun. Just picked up a crossman F4 pellet gun for pest control. Working pretty good for me out to 60 yards sofar

The neighbors have "bird" feeders. We don't, but we have a garden shed the animals seem to like for shelter.

On that rat, I notice it has dark eyes. So is it really an albino. Maybe just a white rat someone turned loose.The eyes are pink. I didn't come out in the picture.

I had one of my old customers call me back, their not happy with the other company they had.
Seems like they couldn't catch this critter............they were trying to catch ....... never mind I can't tell you it makes them look real bad.
I set out two small cage traps and had this guy the next morning.
Its a "Bushy-tail Wood Rat" or better known as a "Pack Rat"
Kind of a cool looking critter.
