Peta: "Many hardware stores carry live traps. But you also can make your own effective, humane rat trap with a garbage can. Here's how: Place dry oatmeal and a dab of peanut butter in a plastic 50-gallon drum. Set the drum in an area frequented by rats. Lean a flat piece of wood against the rim of the drum, or construct a ladder of books or bricks that the rats must climb in order to get to the rim. The rats will jump in for the food but will be unable to climb back up the steep, slippery surface. Remember, check the trap often!
