RATS!! CHEWING MY CHIDS!!

[Jkelee]

& HELP, Plz !!

I am dying here, and so are my Chids

Every morning, I go outside to see my babies that have been destroyed by Rats!! At least that's what I think they are? Fruit rats I've been told, because of the all the fruit trees around me.

Any Ideas on how to stop this??

Every day, I got out there to find MORE and more leaves on the ground, chewed off at the base!! They don't seem to eat anything? Just chew it off to kill ME!!

They Love my Tolumnias, and Oncis. That's the root of their fun! They've gotton a few baby catts too.

I even have large rat traps, with peanut butter, and they are always empty-no P/B left!! And 90% all still set!
How can they lick off that P/B, and not set off the traps??

Any ideas on how/what to use, as they are doing soooo much damage, every night

The 1st pic, is the close-up of some damage.
The 2nd pic, is the last week from Sunday-Friday.
In the last pic, that is just last nights/Sat night, damage alone.

Plz Help me!!
I'm in desperate need here.
