I waited for it to calm down, then very carefully put the other tomcat snap trap I have in without letting the rat escape. I watched it slowly become more at ease, then put its front paws on the trigger of the second trap and started eating the peanut butter in the bait area! It totally defeated the trigger somehow.

It was thrashing and twisting to get free, and had so far managed to move itself and the trap 6 feet across the room. I grabbed a clear plastic bin and put it over the rat/trap JUST as the rat broke free and started jumping to escape. The rat seemed no worse for wear, and I realized that I had no way of lifting the bin to dispatch it without it immediately jumping to light speed and escaping.Bait trap by placing Tomcat Attractant Gel or other food (such as peanut butter or cheese) in the bait well.
