Full Revelations of a Professional Rat-catcher After 25 Years' Experience

A seasoned professional shares more than a quarter‑century of hands‑on knowledge about keeping cities free of unwanted rodents. Drawing from countless jobs with railways, merchants and warehouses, the author balances practical technique with a keen curiosity about rat behavior, offering a realistic view of what can—and cannot—be achieved in large towns.

The guide focuses on safe, effective methods, warning against indoor poisoning and detailing step‑by‑step trapping strategies using steel spring traps, sawdust, soot and other simple materials. Real‑world anecdotes illustrate common pitfalls, such as the lingering odor from a poisoned rat beneath floorboards, and show how quiet, night‑time work and careful placement can yield impressive catches. Whether you’re dealing with a cramped storeroom or a bustling office, the book equips listeners with clear, time‑tested tactics to manage rodent problems without unnecessary hazards.
