eChipmunks

What can I use to bait a rat trap with that will not attract squirrels (red and fox) or chipmunks?

We purchased a rat zapper but do want to use it until we know that it will not zap squirrels and chipmunks with the bait. Just so you know, we live in Washington State. Washington State law requires that any varmint you trap must be killed. Non-lethal traps are not an potion

1. Why not use a Hav-a-heart trap or other non-lethal means of trapping? You can never be certain that you won't kill other animals with the trap.
2. All three are rodents, so you take a chance of attracting squirrels and chipmunks regardless. Rats however will eat meat and carrion. They're nasty disgusting things.
3. CHEESE
4. well think of something that only the rat will be attracted
5. Use a non lethal trap..I agree,,They all eat about the same thing and no matter what you use your going to get rats squirrels and everything else. put a little thought into it, You will figure it out. http://www.google.com/search?q=non+lethal+trap.&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B2GGFB_enUS243
6. Get a regular rat trap or mouse trap..take a tiny piece of bacon and a twister tie ..put the bacon on the thing and wire it on.I just caught my 4th and hope the last mouse this way....
