Peanut butter works best as a bait. Been there done that.
Those bastards cleaned a whole crop of corn in two nights plus ate a large cauliflower head.

You might also set a few mouse traps around for the babies.

good idea,....just so happened to have 4 brand new mouse traps...
 
AJ that small trap ain't gonna kill a rat those are mice traps. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get thos large black plastic rat traps. I had rats like that last year that started in the garden and they moved in the attic. Had to set poison up in the attic to get rid of them. You need the bigger more powerful rat trap, I've seen rats a foot long here.
 
got that but the Fort Worth Policeman that lives about 4 houses down (that I have never met) may have something to say if I let loose with several rounds of "000" buckshot...I got a pellet gun and will use it if the bastage is still alive...I may ask him have I used 5 or 6 first though..
 
If you can put some powdered or finely crushed glass in the peanut butter, I hear it will eventually take out the ones that manage to get some of the PB without springin the trap.
 
Put the peanut butter on a small piece of bread and put it under the bait holder. They have to dig for it and cannot steal the bait.
