Unwanted Houseguest

No, not a mouse. It couldn't be that trivial at my house. It has to be something bigger. Something more complicated. Something more dangerous. A RAT. There is A RAT living in my house. How do I know? Because hubby saw it in the kitchen this morning! At first we thought there was a mouse getting in and eating our bananas (the first time we noticed this was friday morning). We plugged up what we thought was the hole. But, lo and behold, last night, UPSTAIRS, JUST OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM, by the a/c unit, there were wall shavings on the ground. That rat gnawed at the wood of the closet door and he gnawed the paint off the wall right down to what looks like metal. Needless to say, the exterminator must come today. We only have a three bedroom house and on weekends there are five of us who live there. We don't have room or food enough for anything else.

Lord, have mercy!

Maybe you did patch up the whole, but instead of sealing it out you sealed it in. I say, just move!

I agree with SP. I'd have to move ... OMG I get chills just thinking about that critter.

Have you seen that movie Of Unknown Origin? You should check it out. It's about a homeowner and a rat infestation.

I remember my granmother had rats when I was a kid. It was the creepiest thing. We'd hear them climbing through the walls at night. One time a rat fell to the floor from the ceiling at night. Me and cousin went hysterical. Hahaha!

Don't be afraid. It's just Mickey and Minnie Mouse. *lol*
