It is deffinately the year of the rat.

Caught five small rats in spring/peanutbutter traps in two days. Unfortunately, also caught four sparrows - two simultaneiously.

Using six traps. Beginning to consider poison, also.

This year's rat horde appear to be attracted by the 'premium National Geographic approved - no waste bird seed - and the heads of last year's sun-flowers.

Sincerely,

Gargoyle
