Mouse traps won't do it ... you might catch the field mouse but you don't want to do that do you? You want to get the rat/s. They're too big to be caught in a mouse trap.
I’m no longer on a smallholding so my info is a bit out of date.
However, anyone live-trapping and releasing rats anywhere near my property would not be popular. I would only suggest livetrapping to someone prepared to dispatch the rats humanely. Not many people are.
Difficult. I prefer the Jack Russell method myself.
