Those are probably good traps to use. The Havaheart traps have never failed me nor have the rats been able to outsmart going for food with the door shutting behind them. Easy, One after the other, they are suckers for peanut butter.
Usually, the native Owls kept the rodent population in check but they seem to have dissapeared and rat pops have been on the rise. My take is that most of the locals used pesticides to kill/make the rats sick, the Owls eat the rat, Owl gets sick/dies.
So just a warning to try other methods other than poison, if you have a rat problem. Native snakes may be a good idea too.
