How to catch a rat.
The dirty, disease ridden, sewage living type not the two legged ones.
I don’t have any problems with rats or cockroaches (that’s another story) while living in a high rise. But since moving to a house, these critters are not something I bargain for, but little by little they are getting on my nerves and they seems to be enjoying tormenting me.
The Beginning
I know the rats are around, especially in the garden as I found there were holes in the ground about 3 inch in diameter, so I figure they must be the mother rat nest and it would be so painfully simple to get rid of them, just drown them, so out come the garden hose and into the hole, pump full with water. Quite easily done. End of story. Go back to my TV.
The Counter Attack
Soon I was back to normal relaxing mode for a couple of weeks doing my work, surfing and more TV. Then while I was on the internet, I saw from the corner of my eyes some grey object scurrying from the kitchen into MY bedroom, coming towards my leg. I turned and there it was, face to face with a dirty rotten rat and I froze for a milliseconds looking at my enemy. It was a big one, about 7 inches with large red eyes and even larger and sharper tooth. I thought it was out to bit me, so I jump out from my seat and make some noise, the rat, lost its element of surprise make a run under the bed. Why under the bed man, it’s a heavy king size bed which barely moved even if you push it. Can’t lift the bed to chase the rat out. So now I am out looking for something long, heavy on the end which can be use to knock some sense into the rat. Don’t mess with me man…… Cont.

I may be bloody cruel at this...but heck! it's my home and it's my territory so in order to get rid of those pesky intruders, what we do is, drop lots of rat poison into the hole, then go out and buy one of those fly swatters that is battery operated..to beat the sense out of 'em. Bits of electric shocks should do the trick and mind you, with your daughter around, you better set some rat traps at the corner of the house to stop them from coming in.
Do u know tht one of my heart medications I hv been taking, Warfarin, is actually the main ingredients in making rats poison? Isn't this AMAZING?
Ugghhh..HS, does that mean u r actually consuming "RAT poison"????
