If you have a basement/cellar/crawl space do the following.

get a gallon of D-con put it in a pile
then take a 5 gallon bucket and fill it halfway/3/4 the way up. just make sure they cant get out when in there.
then put a 1x4 or 2x4 leaning on the 5 gallon bucket so the rats/mice can get up to the edge of the bucket. you'll be amazed on how many take the plunge.
I've use d-con for many years and only had a stink problem once and it was gone in a day.

Use a flute.
That proved to be working in the town where I was born.
Centuries ago, in the Year 1284, they hired a "specialist" taking care of the rats in the town with his flute. Unfortunately he did not get paid and took all the kids with him. - Did I ever tell that I am originally from Hameln in Germany ...

We know you already have the tights so you might as well get the flute to go with it.

About the truck....put some sheets of "Bounce" fabric softener under the hood and dash. It works good at keeping mice and pests from chewing things.

Are you sayin to put the D-con in the bucket, or fill the bucket 3/4 full with water. Whichever I'm gonna try this and see how it goes.

just put D-con some where in the same area as the bucket.

It dehydrates them so they get retarded and start looking for water then the do the Nestea plunge and die. but if they do get out and have had water their stomach explodes from the d-con.
