Rat In My Bathroom

[phleb]

How do i get rid of it, i have bait and traps down, has eaten the bait, but wont get into a trap. Its massive, i have seen it run past me. Its fat too. It makes rummaging noise most of the night.

Its ripped up the laminate in corners.

It needs to be gone before new baby comes.

Any suggestions will be so very welcome. x

Rats love to explore so try to make an artificial tunnel with a trap at the end holding some pungent, sweet bait. Not cheese, that's so Tom and Jerry!

Fill in the holes, then, phleb......

I have a carpenter coming in the next few days to block off holes and box all the piping up.

If you block the holes up it'll just find another way into your house

[phleb]

Oh elvis...what should I do ?

[ELVIS68]

Hopefully the poison has killed this one but that's not to say there aren't any more, put some poison down outside.

Oh and be careful when you go for a pee, they've been known to travel up through the pipes and out through the loo
