Trust me, he is still around, with plenty of friends. There is a
formula for rats. If you see one at night, you have a bunch. If you
see one in the daytime, you have a ****load. Rats are tough and it is
real hard to get rid of them.
I haven't seen a Rattus norvegicus here but we have lots of Rattus
rattus (AKA roof rats, tree rats, fruit rats or "palmetto" squirrels).
I know better than to think I can eliminate them but I do keep a bait
station in the boat house. Based on the bait I go through, there must
be a lot of dead ones somewhere ... or they have developed an immunity
to it. I have had them chewing up the boat wiring from time to time.
If one gets into the console, it is a mess. The last time it was my
fault. I did not have the door closed tight and it popped open.
I have also had them hiding on the boat and Mr Ed flushes them out.
That is exciting until they jump in the water. A rat running around
being chased by a 112 pound dog. Auggie Doggie was better at it.
Occasionally he could catch it, kill it and bring it to you. Louie
(the dachshund mix) was deadly on them. If they didn't get overboard
right away they were dead.

On the old farm place I run though a lot of bait too. concerning immunity yes I suppose it can happen. I switch brands ever so often for that possibility.

I'm thinking I need a Mini-14 so I can sit on the front porch and plink chipmunks.

That is way overkill. A decent pellet gun will do the deed and not
scare the neighbors. Of course a load of rat shot is less challenging.
Harry's suppressor will make it quieter than the pellet gun.

Actually, I was kind of just kidding.

My buddy in Folsom shoots the ground squirrels with a pellet gun. Works
great, cheap, quiet. They keep chewing up his irrigation system.

One got into the storage compartment of my camper. Aftter seeing
evidence I set a trap baited with peanut butter. Got the sucker
within 12 hrs. Had no evidence thereafter. One rat can do a lot
of damage if given enough time.

Do you use the crunchy or the creamy? My rodents seem to prefer the creamy, Jif of course.

That should certainly get the job done. Unfortunately the pellet at
1200 fps it will probably make a sonic boom "crack". Better if it
were something like 950 fps or thereabouts. Personally I like CO2 for
rapid follow up shots.
