They can indeed be very resilient creatures.
I caught another one last night and having reset the trap found it sprung this morning, so there must be at least one more.
I do put out poison in strategic places around outside the house from time to time, but am ambivalent about doing so because it takes a couple of days to have effect and if the rat is caught and eaten by an owl in the meantime, its curtains for the owl as well.
