Rat in the kitchen
37 Answers
No - nit the song. A real, live four legged furry fiend.Spotted it tucking into Smoke's supper the other night. Any ideas how I get rid of it. I can't use poison because of the mog.

To be fair to Smoke he has tried but the damn thing doesn't come out when he's around.

The cat won't touch the poison, which is impregnated grain, but if he then eats the rat it won't do the cat any good. Poisoned rats go off somewhere warm to hide and die a long protracted death - nasty. Often they sneak off behind warm pipes where you can't get to them and there is no smell as bad as a decomposing rat.
A trap is the best option - but they are clever buggers!!

This was me last year!
I had a rat in my kitchen too, despite having a jack russell. I called the council out and they put trays of rat poison in the back of my fridge, well behind it, as that's where the bugger had been chewing the insulation to make its bedding with.
It took several weeks of him coming out, redoing the poison, but it disappeared eventually- dunno where, don't care, but we never found it.
