There's a rat in me kitchen

nevaeh-2die-4

peeps there’s a long tailed pointy yella teeth **** eater in me house.

I heard the little bastard scratching away & thought nothing of it.

Heard more noise over the past few nights last night getting ready for bed (i was getting ready to give the misses a good throttling, have her walking like john Wayne…HIGH 5)

Then master splinter sprinted across the floor boards and slipped into to a gap as tights as me star fish.

I am one with the animals how can I catch him with out splatting him????

Get a bigger rat and let him sort it out.

AnonoBoy

Get one of those high pitched anti-rodent devices - that'll get the ****er out of your house.

Other than that - sit in the dark with a shotgun waiting for him.

blah

I had mice the last few weeks, tried using conventional traps, no luck ,then I got a glue trap and put a piece of mars bar in the middle but still no mice caught after a week.

So I left it out when I went away on a week's holiday. Came back, FIVE mice! All stuck to the trap, all dead. Horrible

So you could try that. You can get bigger glue traps for rats, and everyone likes a holiday. Not very humane though

You gotta fix that rat,

You gotta fix that rat, thats what you gotta do

What kinda hippy balderdash is this?

Act like a man! Build a shrinking machine, shirk yourself down to a few inches tall, arm yourself with a fork, and go take on the long tailed invader like prehistoric man took on a wild animal.

Get two big tom cats. Get your mates round. Accept bets on the tom cats. Have fun.

P.S: I now have that song in my head, and I fcuking hate it.

Borrow a neighbours cat if you don't have one, and let nature take it's course.
Its all very well being at one with the animals but rats are disease spreading rodents and don't care where they
pee , which carries Weil's Disease.
Weil's Disease can kill.

I could have sworn you're a girl with a user name like that.

This trap makes them sleep instead.

Cheeky monkey

You need some lube, a toy boat, a bath tub, and a piece of melted cheese

Or you could do what I did one day trying to catch a mouse got a cookie, a shoe lace, a bread bin and a nail clippers!

Whatever you do OP dont block that hole. At least you know one of the places he uses - that gives you the edge.

Go with a trap as opposed to poisin .... oh and set up a ratcam!

I blocked the hole big time.

I went to town with filling it up with my antique newspaper collection, I could hear the bastard scratching at me daily sun evils is dead newspaper.

why should i not fill the hole???

Get a cat and allow him to stay inside and piss in your house. The scent of cat pìss will drive any rats that you may have out. Or you could get a massive snack from a pet shop and allow him to roam free around your house. They should eat any rats that you may have.

Get UB40 in.

Does he invade your space and make you feel disgraced, till you just don't give a damn, and if you had your way, if you had your say, would you like to see him hang?

A rat can chew through anything so at this moment he's making another way out. If you're gonna block holes use fibreglass or something similar as they'll use your newspapers as bedding.

A snake in the house... eh no. my daughter wouldn’t like that.

Any way don’t
Snakes eventually starve them self and try to eat the man of the house in order to become them the man of the house ???

Rats do NOT live around humans. They will not live in such close contact with humans That sounds like a norwegian mouse or common field mouse.

Get a mouse trap . They are very effective.

funk-you

Not splatting it? Pffft. Get a big fuck off rat trap and spread peanut-butter on it. The love the stuff. You'll have him caught in one night.

So if i don’t kill him there is a chance he will leave all jewelry he has stole lying around the house?

Looks like we have a new member to the family

Steel wool is normally recommended (even the sacks of the stuff they sell to restaurants for keeping the utensils clean).

You have to stop with the crap about catching the rat in a humane manner. You have two choices really- how to catch it and kill it, or how to kill it and have to find the body before it decomposes.

Some people swear by the sonic deterents- however if the bastard is already inside your walls short of chasing it with the sonic yoke forget about it (use it as a deterent once you are satisfied you have successfully sorted your rodent problem).

Personally I'd poison the rat- and take my chances as to whether I was able to find the body or not. Worse case scenario you have a bad smell for a week or two as the body decomposes behind a wall.......

Get rid of it pronto though- they carry all sorts of disease......

You can buy live traps, but the trouble with them is that you have to release the animals after you catch them, and if you bring them far enough away, you're almost certainly releasing them into an environment where they'll starve anyway.

Basically, you don't mind mice (highly unlikely to be a rat), but you don't want to share your living space with them.

I'd third or fourth the borrow-a-cat suggestions. A female cat will usually be a better hunter, but if you want the smell to deter the mice, then borrow a male, whose scent will unnerve them and make them more likely to move.

If you don't want to be cruel, certainy don't use glue traps, which cause the mice to die horribly of thirst, in terror.

Deterrent measures: keep all food in mouse-proof containers, wash inside all the cupboards and the outside of all food containers with a strongly scented detergent (mice lay a scent trail to find their way back home), and wash the floors and skirting boards and all surfaces where you put down food, ditto. Do this every day until the mice are gone.

Rats and mice are such picky eaters alright. They're always starving to death.

SheroN

why are people against killing the rats?

Set a good steel rat trap, throw the corpse on the fire once you catch it and listen to the crackle. Sit back and smile and know that victory is yours.

The_Conductor

Just kill the bloody thing and be done with it.
I don't see why this is even being debated?

Good points .

i do plan on buying the sticky trap, as i plan on letting him go after i caught him.

i love animals and cant even kill a fly.

Watched "the world after us" or something like that. Was about what would happen if humanity vanished overnight. Anyway apparently rats and mice have a really short shelf life without our dirty, food dropping ways.

Really? Maybe we should destroy humanity just to piss those rodent bastards off then.

kevpants

Can nearly guarantee this isn't a rat. Mouse all the way.

The first thing you notice when close to a rat is the frekin size of 'em. If a rat had run across your bedroom you wouldn't be on boards looking for kooky ways of persuading him to leave. You'd be wandering around your house with a shotgun firing indiscriminantly into the walls.
