OK, so we were tired of rats that just won't die, and came up with a solution, CO2! But we can't go out and buy the stuff to make a huge one qquite yet, and we had all these normal CO2 cartrages laying around doing nothing, so we decided to see if we could rig something up. This is what we came up with...

(Sorry for pic quality, I was in a hurry)





Supply list:
An air tight container (we had some baby formula containers donated to us for something else, but had a couple extra, so this worked well for us)
CO2 cartrages
CO2 injector/tap thing from an old paintball gun
Sharp blade

Instructions:
Cut hole slightly smaller than the threads on the CO2 tap and screw it in. Poke a small hole for the oxygen to excape. Load the CO2 cargtrage and screw it on! Hold the lid down in case it fills too fast and wants to come off! LOL Remove dead rodent(s) and place in enclosure or feeding bin! Presto!
