No really there is, and I'm totally freaked out.
We have an old fire, never used in there, and I'd noticed the dog snuffling round it extremely interested and jokingly said to Mr Boo "Bet there's a rat behind there". Well it bloody backfired on me, as apparently there is, Mr Boo saw it scuttle back in there when he did a late night forage for food (hubby I mean, not the rat, though no doubt that's what it was doing as well!) I know (well now I do) that it was eating the dog's left over food, so that will be picked up before i go to bed each night, there's nothing else (food wise) it can get to.
Would a humane trap work? About a tenner on Ebay. Reluctant to put poison down as a) im a softy, don't want to actually kill it, and b) scared the dog will eat the poison instead. What do I put in there? The trap I mean? Chocolate?
Mr Boo says that once it's gone, he'll rip the fire out and board up the hole.
Please help me, I shudder each time I think about it :-(

we had a pet hamster escape once and bought a humane trap to catch it and worked really well, we used peanut butter in it as suggested.One bit of advice though, make sure its a metal trap not plastic one, we tried plastic first and although it worked the little b*gger chewed its way out before morning lol.

ummmm, stop panicking, they are very easy to get shot of, they are far more scared of you I promise!!
They will not attack anybody or anything, stop worrying. Just ensure you keep all work surfaces in your kitchen spotlessly clean, they do carry some unpleasant diseases, just be careful and all will be fine.
