#4 I don't know what the hell these guys have been doing then. I was in New Delhi 3 years ago and saw rats a foot long (body, tail was longer) in the bushes of my hotel twice. They probably came from the giant, burning trash dump/squatter farm just behind it.

That's a crock, implying there are no rats.

Martin is open for hire. Give him a few minutes, and he'll find a rat!

#8 UUmmm, Yeah, Ball Bearing Mousetraps.

Dump a few hundred and no more rats, but you might have a plague of cats in a few years.

Sounds like a better deal, Cats, not Rats.

#9 On second thought, if the rats average a foot long (Not counting tail) you might be better off importing Bobcats. (Lynx)

They can handle rats that size, and still be relatively "Human Friendly"

#10 A Rat Terrier is what you want for the big job if you're in a hurry. For the long haul boas are efficient.

#11 Pound for pound I'd go with unreformed farm cats - maine coon variety. They are self-sufficient and self motivating little sadistic killing machines that do their thing not for food or attention but simply because, when not sleeping, eating or defecating, they love to kill all things smaller then themselves as much as possible. They'll surrender their work product (usually decapitated) up to you on a daily basis especially if you give them some regular high end grub. They don't give a flying F&*# about much beyond the basics, which for them includes killing rats and mice.

#12 Yes... feral housecats are the way to go. They are killing machines.
