After a few nights of traps set, nothing. Then I was out of town for 2 days and came back to find one trap missing. Gone. I ended up buying the neck snapper that you set by stepping on it with your foot. That seemed less likely to lead to breaking a finger or something dumb. I'm thinking something much larger than a rat got in that peanut butter, set the trap, then ran off with it still attached. Or, maybe the trap caught a rat and something higher up the food chain took the rat still in the trap. So strange! I'll keep putting them out to see if they do travel in pairs (or more) here. So far, tomato eating has ceased, and that is the goal!
