How do i get rid of rats that is already trapped?

Question

last night a huge rat is already trapped in the trap. what should i do? or usually people do to kill it. im planning to pour it with hot boiling water to kill it. Oh yeah.. i hate rats n im freaked out by it.

Answer 1

Well, I would never have used a live capture trap in the first place so I would not have this problem.  Since you do, however, I would suggest you shoot it with a pellet rifle.  If that is not an option, put the entire trap in a plastic bag, add baking soda and vinegar, seal the bag up and gas the little bugger.

Answer 2

HEY WHY DO U WANT TO KILL IT, WHY NOT DONATE IT TO ONE OF THEM CHINESSE, OR INDIAN RESTAURANTS, COMON FOOD IN THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS

Answer 3

Call your local animal control. They will probably kill it too, but then you do not have to do it I suppose.

Boiling water is pretty cruel. If you are going to kill it make it fast. Next time if you plan on killing it anyways don't use a "humane" trap.

Or you could toss it in the trunk and drive out to the country and let it free.

Answer 4

use a sharp stick to kill it, than feed it to your cat or dog, recycling is important.

Answer 5

why kill it? keep it as a pet, did you ever see the movie "BEN" with micheal jackson, how can a greeny or enviroMENTAL kill a poor rat.? you are a rat deny-er!!!!!!

Answer 6

Drowning it is the usual deal , unless your friend's cat wants a christmas pressie.
