If the traps still have your scent on them, then he may bypass them, especially if just appeared. Rats are clever. Leave the traps in situ for a while and see what happens.

Failing that talk to UB40.

Put chocolate (or black pudding if you have any) on your trap, he will be an ex-rat in no time at all

Why not try removing the reason its attracted to your garden. You might also be able to block its acces (when its not in there)

I don't see anyone trying to defend the rats in this post!

You haven't got "a" rat. You have got lots of rats. Get the poison down.

50/50 mix of baking soda and a fatball from a bird feeder. For extra desirability add some sugar too. Find something like an empty Lurpak butter tub. Pop the mix on the lid and cut one end off the bottom part of the tub and put the bottom on the lid. It's now a cave that keeps the mix dry (baking soda needs to keep dry) and stops the birds havng a go at it. Put it where you see the rat. Give it a day or two and no more rat.
