I smell a rat

Ok, well not actually smell, but word on the street is that we have one living under our duck house.  The last week or more our ducks have not been providing as many eggs as normal, but we just figured it was due to the weather, or maybe the were taking a break.  But today Evan spotted a black rat running out of the duck house and under the flooring by the ramp.  We purchased a rat-trap while out tonight, and it is amazing how large that thing is compared to the mouse trap.  We are going to set it sometime this week and see what we can catch.  Will keep you posted.
