We had rats and pigeons bad at my old job. The pigeons learned not to roost in the shop when the owners step son started coming in at night and dispatching them with a bb gun.
The rats would stay up on the spray booth or other hard to get to spots. They would put strings on rat traps and push them back aways with a stick. The traps worked in catching rats. But, not always at killing them. The rats head would get pinched in the trap. My boss would grab the traps with the live rats and throw them into the yard for them to die in the heat or what ever.
He has a second home up north and he would leave Thursday afternoon and come back Sunday night. He threw to rats caught in the traps out in the yard just a wiggling away. So, I used a shovel to decapitate the rats and told everybody to leave the rats where they were for my boss.
When he asked who killed the rats and just threw them in the yard. I asked didn't you kill the rats? LOL
He knew and had the rats dispatched properly from that point on.
