Our resident rat was on our deck this morning, right by the patio door. Hubby spotted it while sitting at the computer. ::shiver::
Actually, it wasn't ugly or anything, it's just that icky tail that makes rats so....well......icky.
I opened the door to let Daisy out (thinking maybe she would "disable" it), dumb dog didn't even see it. It squeezed itself between the planks of our deck and hid. It's a bit un-nerving to know that when your relaxing on the deck there might be a rat sitting under your feet!
I bought some of those sticky traps, but who the heck is gonna remove the rat once it's trapped? It would still be alive! A slow, horrible death.....I can't be that cruel. I can't put out poison......my luck, the dogs would think it was a tasty treat. Nope....can't afford pest control. Maybe a large trap would work......or are they too smart for that? If we hubby kills it, I want it to be quick.
RATS!
