Help A Rat Is Harassing Me In My House It's Opens My Food Pot by MySuperPower: 1:25pm On Jul 08, 2022
Hello everyone,

Pls this is a very serious matter and I need all the advice or help possible especially if you have been in this situation.

There is a BIG RAT that entered my flat. How it entered I don't know. But I have tried everything to let it leave or to kill it to no avail.

The rat OPENS MY COOKING POT and eats from it. At first I thought I do forget and leave my pot open. Only for me to find out one night that it's the rat that opens my pot by midnight. The rat operates from midnight to about 4am daily.

I have bought and used rat poison of different types. It eats the poison and nothing happens. I buy other types of rat poison and it avoids it completely. I recently bought rat trap it pushed it aside and avoids it completely.

Please help me. The rat is really harassing us in our own flat.

How do I get rid of it? The fear of Lassa fever is real. People are saying it's spiritual rat or that it was sent or that it is there to monitor. I don't know what to make of it. I want it dead and gone.

Pls what should I do?

Pls help. This is not a joke. It is a very serious matter. Pls mod help push it to front page and the relevant section.

Just buy a cat. Cats are natural enemies of rats. They eat rats. Since I got my cat, I've had rest of mind with rat menace. Now my cat goes to hunt rats from the neighbors and brings it home for dinner.

Spray tear gas inside your house. This will make the rat to sleep off, make sure you put on a gas mask on your face to avoid passing out. Finally locate the rat and stab it 5 times grin grin

Get a drum , and a straight stick or plank and lean it on the open drum, make sure its deep enough not to allow the rat jump out , put peanut butter and roasted crayfish inside ,you can roast them to make the smell more sexy , keep all foods away as in don even cook that night ,you will see your new neighbors like witches struck by lightning in the morning

I can relate. grin Some people will think you are joking. I had a similar experience when I moved into my current apartment. Unfortunately those huge rats are resistant to the regular rat poison those vendors sell now. If you like litter your entire kitchen with it, they will eat and clean mouth. grin

Your first step would be to plug all the holes in your apartment. Get some quantity of cement and sand, do the mixture and lock all holes inside your apartment. Check for holes in the rooms, toilet, bathroom, wardrobe, and socket spots. I am telling you what I did. If you are able to do this, then if any of them gets dug out the next day, then you should know where your problem lies. Then you can now use a little piece of rock or foam, squeeze it into the hole before applying mixture of cement and sand.

As I type a particular big rat is trapped inside a hole in my bathroom. grin Every night it tries to come out through the water outlet without success. But for a while now, the noise has stopped. Dude may be dead. grin

Back to the measures I took. Check the entrance of your apartment for holes and block all of them. Do the same thing around your apartment walls, especially towards the ground. When you have successfully closed up all hiding places, get ready to confront the rat. You either get a trap, or have a weapon on standby as you rely on your vigilance to kill it at the slightest opportunity. Yes this was how I eliminated the last rat that wouldn’t go away because it had nowhere to hide anymore. It was a joyful ending. cheesy

I detest rats! angry Finally, ensure you don’t leave your entrance doors open if you have no protective net doors. This is the commonest way rats enter an apartment, especially in the evenings.

Stay awake in the night with a torch and a rod or any stick close to you, once you notice the rat has started its operation, tip-toe towards where it is, flash your torch and attack it with brute force, treat it like an armed robber you've been waiting for. grin

Buy indocil (hope I spelt it correctly) sprinkle it on boiled fish and keep it in various places in your room, in less than a week, the smell of dead rat would begin to pollute your room, locate the dead rat and dispose it.
