A little peanut butter on the plate. When he walks up the board to the top, he steps on the plate to eat...plate tips up....rat falls into water and can't get out. A 6gal bucket works better for rats. I had to put some grease on the insides of the bucket to make sure he didn't get out. It works well.
He who can't be mentioned used that with chipmunks
