I've never been able to bring myself to do the the dislocation method so we use carbon dioxide to kill our rats. I just stick 'em in a bucket with a lid and fill it with gas. They die very quickly and (seemingly) without trauma. I'm not sure what this setup would cost as I happened to have a carbon dioxide regulator and bottle sitting around. I can tell you it costs me $11 for a 5 lb. bottle on exchange and it lasts a very long time.
