I think I have a rat(s) in there :s
-
First off, it does sound like rats are living under there. They have no fear of humans in urban environments, so it's not surprising that your knocking didn't scare the bugger away. Secondly, roach spray will very likely do nothing against a rat. Can you get Strychnine[^] in Yemen? We can't buy it in the US, but it's a specific toxin for rodents that works very well. It's an alkaloid similar to methamphetamine, and it causes the little bastard's hearts to fail as a result of sensory overload. It does the same thing to humans, so be very careful handling it. I would dissolve it in water, soak some grain in the solution, let it dry, then toss the grain under the lid you've made. When things get suddenly quiet in there you'll still have to get inside and remove the corpse(s), else the smell will drive you from home. Wear gloves...

Hey guys, I know it's NOT as funny as it sounds but I think I have a rat or rats in my flat :sigh: The problem is, I never saw one before and I have no idea how to deal with it.. The funny part however, is that I have it completely trapped but cant see it!! Here's the situation.. When I first moved to this apartment, I had an extra bathroom that I turned into a store (not for food), stupid me, I had a Turkish toilet (like a tub with a hole in the ground so I simply covered it with a piece of wood and laid some carpet on the whole store.. Yesterday, I was here in the CP reading some articles when I heard this funny sound scratching underneath the wooden cover beneath the carpet!! (Scary eh :laugh: ) when I went in, I could feel the scratches across the wood, the rude creature didn't even stop when I knocked on it (of course I didn't want him to open and invite me in).. So here's what I did: 1. I had a Pif Paf cockroach spray with a slim long pipe so I stuck it right in that place and sprayed nearly the whole bottle 2. I waited about 20 minutes and flushed the toilet for the first time since I got into the bloody apartment (6 Months now!) So tell me, did I do the right thing?? I know I'll have to man up and remove the cover X| .. God I don't want to see what's underneath, I keep imagining a scenario in which there's a whole clan parting in there :omg:
rats, wait a minute, your profile pic tells me otherwise. :suss: :rolleyes: :doh:

I didn't realize that he was looking for entertainment, as well. For that, I'd toss in a few chunks of calcium carbide, flush once, then toss in a match. He won't have much of a place to live afterwards, but it will be entertaining! :-D

Thanks Roger, so it's more serious than I thought :~ I think I'll get some of those pest control agencies this afternoon.. Many thanks for your valuable tips, I'll let you know how it ends ;)
Best to let professionals handle it - they're insured against stupid errors, and it's easy to screw up with dangerous chemicals. I'll be watching for the video! :-D

Invite some mates round and get drunk,, then get some air guns, catapults, bows arrows etc, then let the thing out. First one to kill it gets a free drink! Used to this on a farm we lived on, its quite ammusing actually.

Once you have gotten rid of the rats with one of the above methods, I would recommend fixing that better than with a simply wood coverage...

Since it is a toilet you can sit on it, fart and use the cigarette lighter. (... mmm maybe not really lounge material)
