What is the best bait to use to catch a rat?

In: Mice and Rats [Edit categories]

Answer:

Believe it or not, rodents prefer seeds FAR more than they enjoy cheese like on the cartoons. Although, the best BAIT is usually a small spoonful of peanut butter. And, you can increase the likelihood of a rat hitting the bait if you put a piece of breakfast cereal like corn flakes on the peanut butter.
