The third rat of a family of rats who were eating cat food at my home was caught. This third rat was by far the most difficult to capture. I used the Arlo security camera system to study the rat interacting with the rat trap over a number of weeks. I had to set this trap up in a special way to have it trigger with a tiny amount of weight on the trigger pressure plate. This initial rat problem was a precursor to a much larger rat infestation we had during Winter. This infestation involved over 20 rodents and I saw one giant King rat that was impossible to capture. One thing I have learned is the humane capture methods are very slow. And this then allows a rat family time to generate more numbers. Some people who saw rat one and two capture videos said these rats was the start of a much bigger infestation. Those people were correct. The Winter rodent infestation was very difficult to control, I had to use every tool I had to trick these very smart rats.
