Rat Restaurant
Tony Alson of Brockford, England, named his rat-killing invention the "Rat Restaurant". He runs a piece of 3-in. dia. pipe through the bottom of a 2 1/2-gal. plastic jug. The pipe is positioned bout 1 in. above the bottom of the jug. There's a small hole cut in the bottom of the pipe at the center of the jug. Alson fills the jug with bait, which then cascades all around the pipe. The rats get bait through the hole in the pipe. The advantage of the design is that the rats can see all the way through the pipe so they don't sense a trap, and the container holds plenty of bait. Also, pets and other animals can't get at the bait.
