Buy or make a 5 gallon bucket trap - fill 1/3 with water & smear peanut butter above the tongue of the trap. No fuss, no muss & you can catch multiple critters & dispose of the cadavers at your leisure.

I've seen the lids on Amazon.
They work great, I've got one in the metal barn we keep the tractors & my boat in - I scoop out 2 or 3 a trip then it's good to go & you don't even have to replenish the bait.
Link is in my upper post for what I use.

Rv plumbing antifreeze - so they don't stink if left unchecked for a while.
Wire through a pill bottle, with pb smeared on it, rotates and gravity does the rest. Mice mainly, no rats here.

The Canyon fire in So Cal is by where we used to go backpacking when I was in high school. We'd camp under boulders the size of houses and stay stoned all weekend. Swimming in the creek and exploring the area was great fun. It's some rugged terrain once you get out of the canyon.

AI Overview
The statement that minimum wage would need to be $65/hour today to match the home buying power of minimum wage earners in the 1970s is likely an overestimation. While it's true that real wages and housing affordability have shifted, a more accurate calculation suggests a minimum wage closer to $29-$39/hour would be needed to equate to the purchasing power of the 1970s.
Iirc 1972 gas was $.39/gallon (4.54litres). Dad made $2.10hr. $20/week for groceries fed 6 kids & 2 adults. A large farmhouse with 100 acres was $50k.

I remember working at a gas station when I was in high school, in the ‘70s. I believe the minimum wage was $0.96 an hour. Ethel (premium) gas was $0.489 and cigarettes were $0.48 a pack. A Hostess fruit pie was a dime as were sodas. The run of the mill Mexican ditch weed was $15.00 an ounce, the primo smoke was $30.00. So after taxes a good zip was a weeks wages at minimum wage.
