Rat in my condo, what do?
 

OK so last night I just just chillin at home playing CoD, I thought I saw something move in the corner of my living room, but I was baked so thought maybe I was just seeing things. Two minutes later, same thing happens, turn around and look, a small rat crawling towards the kitchen. Guess it probably slipped in from underneath my door. So today I bought a mouse trap, now I have the rat trapped under my fridge, leaving one small opening which leads directly to the bait. But for this whole time, I used cheese and bread with a drip of honey, and the rat never seemed to be interested..... the thought of having a rat living in my condo just makes me cringe. What should I do now?

Btw trapping the rat underneath the fridge was a last resort, I placed the trap in various places and it never caught the rat. I've never had any experiences with rat so please chime in!

:swear:

get a cat


yell at the rat


stomp on it



done

:thumbsup:

I had an exterminator tell me you should bait the traps but not set them at first. The rats are smart, they'll test them and shit. Bait it, see if he starts eating the bait. On the trap where the baits touched, do it again and see if it goes for it again. Then on the third or fourth time set the trap and hopefully he's comfortable enough with it where he gets got.

I got a mouse or mice in my wall and floor between my main and upstairs. I have no idea where the little fuckers getting in I might have to rip my ceiling open.

Call pest control, or buy those sticky pad mouse traps.

I would recommend peanut better over the items you chose, very effective stuff.

Burn your condo down. Blame it on Scientologists.

those stick pads are really effective ..
drop some peanut butter in the middle and place them in corners around ur condo ...

worked for me .. caught 2 in 3-4 days
hope it was all of them

I just threw away a jar of PB cuz it was expired:(

I'll be getting some of those tmr, hopefully they stick this little motherfucker..

throw it out the window

didnt someone post in the thread about a rat being in a car to not use those sticky pads since the rat will chew its own leg off in an attempt to get away???...

as mentioned above definitely try peanut butter that's what the pros use

they do, but when they do chew it, they get trapped even more.

peanut butter on a trap works well.

Haha it'll chew its own leg off? That reminds me of the movie Saw..

Depends how big the rat is. I've had a rat drag one of those sticky pads halfway across my garage floor (and it got away)

Lay out the trap in the same spot every time but don't set it just yet. Let it get used to the trap being there. Apparently like someone else had mentioned, they love peanut butter. Fruit works as does nuts (although that's much harder to put on a trap.

A somewhat more inhumane trap (but easy to build if you have these parts) is the bucket trap.

Use a barbecue inside your home and go to sleep. When you wake up the next morning the carbon monoxide should have suffocated the rat. All left for you to do is find the sucker and dispose of it.

you serious?

he isn't ever going to wake up to dispose of the rat

GTFO

fixt

depends how the rats get stuck on the pad .. all the rats i caught head got stuck on the pad too so they can't chew anything off

Don't bother with a mouse trap. Just get the sticky pad thingy. Back in the day we lived in a super old building, and not only could we see the mice, we could hear them. Caught about 12 of them in a span of few weeks.

the sticky pads are only effective depending on the size of the rat.
if the rat is big enough, it can actually break free and all you'll find is rat hair on the pads.

GODDAMMIT I could hear the rat in my wall.....I think he probably already made a hole in my kitchen....I wanna fucking roast this piece of shit

dude peanut butter works, its like those suckers can smell it from a mile away, best thing to use to lure them out

if youre lucky it might crawl into your bed tonight :troll:
