Rat almost ran up my trouser leg

I knew a woman once, a mouse ran up her leg.

Her pussy ate it

And someone always has to bring it back down to gutter level

Put two traps out first thing this morning, with a slice of fruitcake on each, and half an hour later - SNAP!

I rushed out to check. But the cake had gone, with the trap snapped shut, and no sign of a rat!

A short while after that, there was another snapping noise. But again, no sign of the cake or any rat!

WTF is going on? I suppose next I'll have to set up a webcam to see how they are getting away with it!

Or perhaps I'll try several traps close together, like a classic special forces antipersonnel mine pattern - Dodge one, and the crafty sods will hop straight onto the next.

Everyone knows the most "efficient" way to a foxes to get some men on horseback and some dogs to chase after them. Perhaps they could switch to rats?

Rats are very intelligent creatures.

I once set out some rat poison in a small dish in a cellar. Next day the buggers had covered the poison with a pile of small stones. They did the same the next day FFS.

...And this is before they evolve into Rattus Sapiens (a la Doomwatch).

I finally got rid of them by filling in their runs with broken glass and 'offed' one unlucky one with a mallet.

Our cat ensures we never have problems with rats. Or squirrels.

One of my cohort got a pregnant rat and it was awful.

I actually read that as "got a rat pregnant" and was starting a reply before I realised.

Why can't I be overrun with squirrels instead, like AtW?

Do rat-traps work on squirrels, or do you have to get squirrel traps?

Stop picking on my cute fluffy squirrels you barstewards!
