Rodents carry a wide range of disease-causing organisms, including many species of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and helminths (worms). They also act as vectors or reservoirs for many diseases via their ectoparasites such as fleas, ticks, lice and mites, as well as some diseases carried by mosquitoes

Earlier this year I had a visitor. I was sitting up in bed watching telly when I saw something move. I switched bedside lamp on and saw it was either a very large mouse or baby rat.
I started screaming, he curled himself up into a ball and the next 15 mins we just sat staring each other out waiting to see who would make first move.
Eventually he ran under a chest of drawers so I grabbed a quilt and slept on sofa.
Next day I put half a dozen traps round my flat but I never caught him or never seen him again. He must have left where he came in. I could never find out where and not seen anything since.
Hopefully he went back to his mates and warned them not to visit the crazy screaming woman on the first floor.

Had you been taking mushies when you saw this rodent ?

As I`ve had several similar experiences in my youth.

We had a rat problem a few years ago, when we kept chickens. We used poison though weren't comfortable with the horrible slow death and other environmental concerns (like what is poisoned eating the corpse). I bought an air rifle, sndveven though it was hard for me, because I actually like rats, I got quite good at head shots and had a few, literally, between the eyes.

There was this one time I "winged' a rat up the garden and it was suffering. I was phoning to speak to my mum at the time and was waiting for the nurse to carry a phone to her at the old folks home she was in. I ran up the garden, phone in hand, to dispatch the rat a quicker more merciful death with a spade, but kept missing a clean blow because of the curvature of the spade and the fact I had a phone in one hand.

It was unfortunate that at the moment the nurse handed the phone to me ma, I was bashing a rat with exasperation saying "why won't you just die ffs?!"

So many options....

Here it is, is it a mouse or is it a rat??

 

[Rita_Poon]

mouse, it's smaller, there's less length to it, it's more arse heavy. rats also look a lot lot more mean.

Yes, maybe him and his mates have parties while I'm out.

mice acquire the liquid they need to survive via foodstuffs, rats have to drink. the uk has some very strict rules on poisons, the strongest stuff is available to farmers that kills rats in about an hour, the anti blood clotting stuff available to joe public is much much more slow acting, so kills em in about 7 days depending on size.

You ok Rob?

They are such a cruel device, not funny

Theyre mice.
There are worse ways for them to die.

@marnie smashes their heads in with a spoon until their little eyes pop out.
I know how I'd rather go.

I’ve had some in the loft for a few weeks. Am a proper shithouse so I’ve paid pest control to come around. The fella who’s come round is defo having me on as nothings changed.

Might need to get pissed and get up there and sort them out myself. Will probably dodge that and get the missus to sort it instead.

Just lace the bait with Buckfast and they’ll all batter each other to death.
