Something is nasty is Seattle....

I knew I smelled something. I thought it was something else, though.

To be fair, it's a problem in other places too.

If you find a rat in your toilet, try to remain calm, counsels Don Pace. He is one of two workers who kill rats in Seattle's sewers, and he says the first thing you should do if a rat shows up in your toilet is shut the lid. "They can jump out," he says. Next, with the lid closed, take a bottle of dishwashing soap and squirt it into the bowl by using the opening between the seat and the rim of the toilet. The dishwashing soap makes the bowl and the pipe below it slippery, making it hard for the rat to get any traction. Then flush the toilet. Usually the rat goes down and doesn't come back.

Um-m-m-m, I believe the Seattlelites have been smoking more than salmon...

Got rats?

If you have to flush rats on anything resembling a regular basis, you may want to relocate.

 

[Pablo]

You think?

 

[moribundman]

Well, if you have beavers in your yard, rats may be less of an issue...

We have a plague of tree rats around here. Otherwise known as the Carolina Gray Squirrel. Worthless little runts.

Nothing the right end of a 12 ga. won't solve.

LOL, a workmate when he was a kid had a tiger snake in the bathroom, and it hid in the wall.

His dad shot the snake with a 12ga...though the wall.

I wonder if that's going to be Sam Jackson's solution in 'Snakes on a Plane.'

The sequel is "Rats on my butt".

In reference to the squirel problem they make several good poisons for them. If I had a squirel problem I would get a really accurate air rifle and a scope and try for head shots.

Around my place, crows make life hard for the numerous squirrels. I don't mind either one, but I have seen rats in the trees after dark. Not in my toilet, however.

Around here, it's the cars that make life hard for the squirrels.

LMAO at the disposal technique pscholte posted.
