I have a rat in the kitchen. He's shrewd. Steals potatoes out of the traps without setting them off. I've already cut off all sources of food and water and laid out poison and traps. Also a ramikin with salt water in hopes he'll dehydrate himself, but I have my doubts. Any good ideas?I love pet rats, but this guy is no pet.
>>5156792Why are you giving the rat Ratorade if you're trying to kill it? Try renting or buying a cat. They are expert hunters and will solve your rat problem in absolutely no time.
Add electricity to the trap and electrocute him
>>5156818Thought about it but I worry about it as a fire hazard. Maybe a single shot zipgun fired electronically...
>>5156816Catfag propaganda
>>5156816If he can live on that concoction he deserves to
>>5156816Cats never got rid of rats. They just make them hide. Then they give you plague (yes, really, cats transmit the black plague). Their association with witches and the devil came from how rats magically reappeared upon the cats temporary absence and how people who lived near cats often got sick and died or went insane (toxoplasmosis).

>>5156884This feels like some political cartoon
>>5156816I think you mean a terrier.
>>5156792it was nice of the rat to post that comment
>missed chance to call it Ratvice
>>5156792shoot em
>>5156940You think a cat could escape a trap like that? Cat sized version, of course.
>>5156816>Try renting or buying a catWait one can rent a cat?
>>5156973How do you think they made that video if you couldn't rent cats with various skills like choreographed dancing skills?
>>5156792Supposedly they can't burp so cola or food mixed with baking soda will kill them. Don't know how you keep the cola from going flat but some people swear by it.Ideally find where it's coming in and block it, or try a wire snare around the hole..
>>5156792just watch some shawn wood videos
>>5156792The problem with poison is they usually die in some inaccessible location and now you have to deal with a rotting rat carcass somewhere in your house.
>>5156792>ramikin
>>5156992It's fake. Only the black and white cat is trained to dance. The other two aren't even cats they're computers.
>>5157178This, and they almost always decide to hide in a wall to die instead of somewhere outside.And if you're really unlucky a litter of baby rodents dies of starvation somewhere in the walls too.
Use something like this. We had a rat issue once and it did the trick. Ended up releasing them outdoors.
the last time I had one I tried plenty of stuff but I didn't catch it until I put the trap literally on its way. Try to block every hole except one and put the trap there.
>>5158020Thought about that. I can only find ones for martens and I think a rat would escape those. Worth a shot I suppose.
I believe UB40 solved this issue way back in 1987 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jausD8qsnKU
>>5158289Odd, had no issues finding a rat one on Amazon.
>>5158313Shipping costs are always murder in my country. And that's if the mail even gets here at all.

Caught him eating my morning pills from the livingroom table today. I bet he's having a much worse day than me.He escape behind a bookshelf which I then pushed hard against the wall. He screamed for a while but then came running out.The girls at work gave me some Nutella to use as bait. They swear by it. There is no other food or water in his part of the house at all. Only traps and poison.
>>5158372>be likeAre you one or do you just talk like one?
>>5160166>NutellaUse braunschweiger or liverwurst instead. You'll catch every small mammal in five square miles.
>>5156792>I love pet rats, but this guy is no pet.Thank you OP I needed the laugh
Got a couple discarded metal straws. Electric zipgun saga begins
It's over.He was running around the livingroom when I got up this morning. All groggy from eating my pills.Cornered himself and since I was in my underwear and holding holding my phone that's what I used to break his neck:162 grams. No sign of pregnancy or recent pregnancy.Poison and traps all over the house and he did himself in with the stuff I need to live. Huh.
>>5160998CuteI killed a ratto just like this with rat poison a few days ago, I let the wasps eat its flesh until it was a dried up carcass and then I disposed of it.
>>5161002As I said in the OP; pet rats are super cute, but I can't abide a wild one in my home. In another world we could have been buddies. I threw him in the compost bin and covered him with dirt.
I wish rats weren't so cute bros. I hate catching them and having to release them. I wish they could be my friends.
