Since my previous rat incident, I moved across town to another house.  I 
managed to have one that liked to hang out in my garage, and he had a 
hole in the drywall that he could escape in anytime I went out in the 
garage.  I set a trap but he ignored it.  I finally discovered that he 
was eating my dogfood and ignoring the trap.  I had bought a large bag 
of dogfood and as a promotion they were giving a free 5 pound bag of 
another food.  I decided to move the dogfood into the house and see if 
that would get the rat more interested in the trap.  I had never opened 
the 5 pound bag but when I picked it up I discovered that it was over 
half empty, via a small hole in the back of the bag.  Without the 
dogfood there, I caught the rat shortly after.  The body was 7" long, 
the tail was 9" long.
