I've never come across rats.at huts before, only mice and possums. If I'm staying at a hut I always carry a mouse trap and peanut butter. On a trip to Cass Saddle hut last autumn I killed 6 mice in one night... The hut was full and I had to sleep on the floor, the blighters were scampering around my head all night. Set trap, wait, snap!, fling deceased mouse into a corner, reset trap and wait for the next one. Didn't get a lot of sleep... 😄
