Being a keen angler I have access to very fine wire traces - I pin a loop

their
entrance hole so nothing else gets caught and after a few days of no
catching I remove it until we see evidence again.
Despite the almost universal repulsion for the rat the use of such methods
is
AFAIK
illegal.

It is illegal for foxes. Any snare has to have a stop to prevent the
animal caught in it from choking.
