I had a rat issue on my boat in St John, USVI. Those things were like house cats, and smart. I tried snap traps and sticky traps but they outsmarted both of them (I guess me too). Finally got an electric trap (battery operated). Got him on the first night. The body was almost 12" long. The nice thing about the electric trap, aside from actually working, was that there was no mess or angry, sticky rat to deal with. It kills them instantly by electrocution. Probably the most humane way, for anyone concerned about being humane to a rat.
