It was quite peaceful when I first moved to my uncle's house last year. To put it another way, I don't see any pest. However, that changed last 3 months when we received a large number of visitors, including our relatives. Before heading home, they stayed till nearly midnight. We were all exhausted at the moment, so we forgot to shut the windows and promptly fell asleep.
We had no idea that rats would take advantage of the circumstance and enter the house. Of course, we were unaware of it until we noticed indications of their poop and a large amount of wood that had been eaten into small pieces.
It got worsen as day goes by because they got so many. Sometimes they will wake us up during sleep time by creating some banging noises. So I decided to and eradicate them. I was thinking of buying some rat poison but I was also hesitant because I have dogs.
So I went to Shoppee.com and purchased a mouse trap as well as some hotdogs as bait. I caught one and killed it within five minutes of setting it up. Then I kept putting it together until I had about 20 rats caught. I also concluded that killing it would be a waste, so I gave it to the cats. Because many of my neighbors provide them with food on a daily basis, most cats in our neighborhood have given up hunting rats.
The weird thing is that trapping the mouse and delivering it to the cat made me feel like I was the cat because I was performing the cat's duties.
Lesson learned: Don't let the rats into your home. If you see one, get it as soon as possible and don't let it breed.
