rattrap

While cleaning it I found lots of matches, a cap, and a rattrap.

He had accidentally stumbled upon the rattraps, two of which were attached crookedly to his sneakers.

Chumley’s, he wrote, came well recommended when he was seeking a place to take “a ‘nice girl’ instead of the rattraps I usually patronized.”

The carton was very sticky, covered in glue from rattraps.

He remembers that house as a “rattrap,” a term that had an all-too-literal meaning for Rice, whose feet were bitten by rodents while he slept.
