or you can use the "bottle and a bucket trick".. secure a wine bottle off the end of a bench where the rats can get to. with the neck pointing out. put some food bait stuffed in the end of the neck. then put a bit bucket of water with a little dish washing detergent under the bottle.. put a little cloth or something secured to the bottle around the body so the rat and walk on the bottle without falling off.
it will walk out to try and get the bait then once it is on the narrowing glass neck it falls off into the bucket and drowns. just lock the shed so the dog cant get in there and empty the bucket of dead rats in the morning.
BRILLIANT!
PICSORBAN!
sorry mate i havent got a photo but it works something like this.
rat walks on cloth (light blue) towards bait (red) then slips on the neck of the bottle (green) and falls in bucket of water.
