I bought "Alt" glue in Russia. Now about the best way is to use it. The glue is very sticky and very difficult to wash off. If you have a dog or cat, she may step on the glue and thus spread it around. To avoid this problem, I put the bait inside a cartoon box of a whisckey bottle and put the glue on the walls of the box. It's a clean and safe way to catch a rat and dispose it off.
