They look more like mice, we have them in our house. Kind of get used to it. actually the best mouse trap I've ever seen (could catch like 15-20 in a night) that being if you REALLY have mouse problems, Bucket --> ramp leading up to bucket --> Soda can suspended above bucket --> penut butter on can ---> water in bucket. they'll leap for the can, can spins, they fall.
Being mannered is almost as important as winning. Almost...

RATZ STAY DEAD PLOX


Scourge of all ancient civilization, destroyer of millions and minor inconveniences in modern first world countries.

How could they possibly be worse?

hum from reading so much "i can't touch this omg" - do you actually just pick them up with your bare hands? you should 2000% avoid that because these animals can be filled with all kinds of unhealthy stuff.

Either use some kind of gloves, or even better (because cheap and can just be dumped along with them) just use one or two pieces of kitchen paper, fold them up a little and then just use these to grab that stuff. Grab the trap at the side where there's no rat in it and pull it open (can be hard to do when not using bare fingers, so i'd probably just use my fingers for that at some section where there's no rat) and then just use a kitchen paper to take the rat away.

One would assume the gloves he is wearing in the picture is not for climbing the ladder.


You make a valid point. I will take it under consideration

My old place was fortunate enough to have a ton of random wild cats (yes, wild, and that place was attached to a large park) so I never had any rats in the house. I did however on rare occassions find dead rats in the backyard. Shrug, put on gloves, grab a plastic bag, grab the dead rat, and toss. Not that hard yo!

I did once though, beat a live rat to death with a baseball bat - at my friends place, in front of the driveway. He had 3 younger brothers who were probably elementary/middle school at the time. Needless to say, I was the hero that day.

Ugh, last night as I was making something to eat for dinner there was a mouse running across the floor. Luckily I have a barn cat in the house and it's been crouched down there for the last 5~ hours. Not as bad as rats but still t.t good luck!

Thanks for sharing all the rat stories, it's helping me build more courage to realize that it's just a dead rat and there is nothing to freak out about.

Also, who voted my blog with 1 star? Is it because you don't like rats? I posted pictures!!

Rats and mice are okay, roach infestations are worse.

edit: Need to unleash total chemical warfare to have any chance to get rid of them, especially the small buggers! Damn those pests and hoarders in my family!

Op, you made me smile. I used to have a stupid neighbor that kept goats and pigs in his back yard, and when he was forced to get rid of them for stinking up the entire neighborhood, all the rats and mice that lived on the animal feed had to find a new home(and source of food). Enter rat infestation. I could go out to my shed out in the back yard with my pellet gun and shoot a rat or two every time I went out for for at least a month. They chewed wires, tore open bags of potato chips, chewed open jars of peanut butter, chewed holes in the walls, etc. It was seriously rat hell for a month straight. I remember going out back with a BB gun, and massacring an entire family of rats(mom and about 8 babies) in about 60 seconds, because I shot the mom first and young 'uns didn't know to scatter. They just hopped around doing whatever while I sat about 30 feet away and shot them all. I would set traps too, and would catch them in them every couple of days as well. The rats also learned how to take food off the trap without setting it off, so I would have to put the traps out with food on them, but unset, so the rats would get accustomed to not paying attention to them any more, and then I would set them one night and get a motherload. As seen here. AHHHH the things you learn to outwit the furry little bastards. For instance, setting multiple traps all facing inwards. You see, rats have tails, and they would set traps off with their tails while they were paying attention to another trap, and while flailing around, would usually get the death blow from flopping into another trap.

TLDR: Op, I kind of feel sorry for you....but not really. MAN UP. THEY'RE JUST LITTLE FURRY RODENTS.

I was expecting an old fashioned game of Big Game Hunters recreated in real life. I was disgustingly disappointed
