I hate it when there are rodents around. When you see one, it means there are others and then I would have to start to play the usual waiting game with it. Setting the trap is easy but it takes a average of 5 days to get one trapped.
What I hated most is the getting rid of it part. Unlike termites, mosquitoes, and cockroaches, getting rid of a rodent is not easy. Sure, you can bake it under the Sun, drown it even and well, give your Cat a present and other stuff. But since no Cat has officially adopted us...
Anyway, my usual would be to give the rat a nice midnight ride in the car and then introduce it to a new environment.
But, this evening, I did not have to do that. Remember those YouTube videos where some guy would construct weird inescapable traps with buckets? We indirectly did one.
The rat somehow got into this pail and drowned. The pail was actually used to catch waste water from a leaking sink. How it do there, I am not sure but I did watch them jump at great heights.
