I had never heard this term before but a quick read gives a tonne of context to much of my life in a way that makes a lot of sense!!

I think I might have a little cry now. Thankyou!!

I do this. My psychologist says it's a common ADHD thing.

No idea what I'm meant to do with that information tho.

I recently dealt with the same problem using a live catch cage trap from Bunnings. The rat ignored the peanut butter I tried first but I bought the special rat attractant and had the little bastard within a week.

I had other kill traps out (nooski and electronic) but they didn't work. He triggered the nooski a couple of times but got away unharmed.

Just stick the trap along your fence where you've seen him and wait.
