mr.official:

LWTMB!

I killed so many with rat poison. But it's like they reinforce immediately. Another part is that, they don't dry up after eating the poison. They'll begin smelling, and by that, i'll have to look for the rat and then throw it out. *unnecessary wahala* I don't like rat gum, i believe a big rat like the one in my house will use the rat gum as shoe for protection. grin

ROTFLMAO grin

This reminds me of a documentary i watched on National Geographic channel done in india. These people were literally worshipping rats which were in their thousands. They ate rat poop and will drink milk dt thousands of rats have eaten from. I really tot that there were no better horror movie made and to think that it was all real just made it more grotesque. Googled for it and got this link news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/06/0628_040628_tvrats.html Rats Rule at Indian Temple Sharon Guynup and Nicolas Ruggia National Geographic Channel June 29, 2004 The floors are a living tangle of undulating fur. Small, brown blurs scurry across marble floors. Thousands of rats dine with people and scamper over their feet. It may sound like a nightmare from the New York City subway to some, but in India's small northwestern city of Deshnoke, this is a place of worship: Rajastan's famous Karni Mata Temple,

If na FB, the poster for get responses like this? Many funny responses here. Una never see when you go wake up for night make you go urinate, see em rats dey hold meeting for your house (whether them wan pursue you, i know know)? I hate the ones they call asin cos when approaching you, they have this confidence that they are unique from other rats (of which they are cos of the poison they carry) and know you'll jump out of the way for them. I 4kin hate em squeals and the most annoying part is if a rat enters a room, it leaves a scent for others to follow of which they start coming into that room

Just prepare some explosives and keep them closer to their main party place. Once they trigger it all of them will be welcome into hell.
OR
You can use gammalin 20 (insecticide) to finish them off.

I now realise that rat menace is not just my problem but a national issue, and issues like this should get to the nationals assembly, for debate and possible solution. Because when their population grows to 1000:1 of nigerian citizen, they will surely take over.  think about it

Leave him. He'll turn his house to food warehouse after which the rats have eaten his documents, bags, clothes, doors, e.t.c. They'll even excavate to see if tithe's foods are being kept underground  grin

Ha! O ga o! This rat infestation thing is a serious matter.

I was a victim too. I kept waking up consistently around 2 am because I had some very large rats in my ceiling. They make all sorts of annoyingly loud noises that would rob me of sleep and it almost drove me crazy. Picture a man poking at his roof with a mop stick in the middle of the night!!! Yeah, that was me.

One night i just got fed up.

On my way from work, I bought some rat poison (the one in a sachet) from a mallam and some fried fish from a local BUKA. (The young lady that sold the fish thought i was going to soak gaari with the fish because i couldn’t afford a 'proper' meal and she awkwardly offered me some food. LOL.  I quickly explained myself).

When i got home, I soaked gaari with some of the fish  grin grin grin

(Don’t blame me! the scent was so irresistibly sweet and feeding the whole lot to some useless vermin made my blood boil) I applied the poison to the rest of the fish and entered my ceiling with it.

I spread the fish/poison in a way the rats could not miss it. i spread it everywhere.

Less than 30 minutes later, they came to feed and I’ve not heard from them since then. I didn’t even bother checking for their remains, for as long as there was no smell in my apartment and no noise in my ceiling, I’m cool.

So, here’s my advice my friend:  Buy some fried fish and rat poison and spread it everywhere (only do this if you don’t have little children or pets) and regain your lost apartment.

Cheers

Re: Rats: How Do I Get Rid Of These Rats! by lastpage: 4:15am On Mar 05, 2011
All along, l have suspicions about this person called "tithe"! shocked
You know the adage that says "show me your friends and l will tell you who you are"?
Now, RATS are very "angry creatures" and just watch how "angry" tithe will get at me in "its" next post and you will understand what l am driving at! tongue
So far you've been treating them with kid gloves. For a problem of this magnitude you need professional help. Get a company that does fumigation and let them fumigate your house and environs. If you live in a block of flats get your neighbours to go along with you on it if not they'll only take refuge there and come back later. We did this two years running now and am yet to see a rat.

I saw this post earlier and it reminded me of what happened in my work place some years back.
The Rats have taken over the multi-storey building and are known to hold-up the lift whenever they want to go upstairs during early morning forays.
[/b]Apparently, they ran out of luck one day when they kept the M.D waiting for the lift for almost 5minutes and when it finally came down, they scared the hell out of the M.D when three, well-groomed Mammy rats with bulging bosoms bumped into the poor guy unexpectedly!
To cut long story short, he declared a FATWA on them.

I advised against it (having been a victim of rat bite at a tender age, you know the "eat and blow" stuff that reduces ALL your toes to the same size by the time you wake up?)
Against all common sense, this our M.D (a dictator like Ghadafi!)brought in a [b]Fumigation Company
and they placed some smelly stuff in all corners of the offices after spraying some foul-smelling chemical that sent more staff to the hospital than the damned rats they were meant for!

To cut the long story short, the Rats made our M.D to regret his action! tongue
They left his couch, papers and even left food that was in the cafeteria untouched BUT headed  straight to our "secure" I.T room!
They caused mayhem by eating ALL our OPTIC FIBRE CABLES! These is a place that is as clean as you can imagine!!

The damage they caused, in terms of money is better imagined than seen.
Since that day, l have learnt to "respect Rats" and treat them like fellow human beings (I even suspect some humans turn to rats at night! lipsrsealed )
Those rats were able to identify the expensive cables (like Fibre cables, SCSI cables, Router Cables, e.t.c) and destroy them, while leaving cheap cables like Printer and Keyboard Cables untouched!, it made me conclude that they are possessed by the devil himself!

For those advising the poster to buy "Indocid or da-BOMB", l will suggest you leave your home address along with your advise! (they will surely pay you a visit and them lets see what happens wink
Because you just want to endanger the life of that poster over a "trivial (tithe?) misunderstanding" between Landlord and tenant! wink
Those Rats are ready to eat small children or even you sef (in case you have non) if you declare war on them! I have given you the story above so you dont listen to bad advise)
And if you think some fat, good for nothing, imported Cat from The U.K will help you. (appears the ones in Naija have sworn an oath of allegiance to the Rats, since the Rats began to eat their offsprings), think again!.
I have seen the fat idiots in action! They play "cat and mouse" with them like they are from the same mother! shocked Useless Muther-fuckars!
Even if you kill a Rat and put it inside a Burger for them, they would not eat it and would rather report you to the NCPCA for cruelty to a fellow animal!

Let me end by suggesting you follow my style, Rats dont ever bother me now, since my childhood experience grin
1.) Call a "National Conference" in your house, with the Rats
2.) Tell them you recognize their need for "change and democracy" and apologize to them for "bad-mouthing them on NL (You think they are not aware, right?  shocked shocked)
3.) Grant then human rights by: creating a small enough hole on your door for entry so they dont have to use force or chew-off the whole door (and l hear they easily get pissed-off when you make them work hard for something wink ).
4.) Buy a low-side, wide basket and put it in one corner of your living room (where people can eat and watch TV at the same time) and put assorted food inside, especially the types you mentioned above (its obvious thats what they like to eat, dont put cardboard or tissue paper there else, your big toe will suddenly disappear over night!)
5.) Finally, dont act like Ghadafi, "Know when to leave the house for them, when they start jumping on you while you're asleep"! Its an indication of "civil unrest amongst the population" otherwise, they may not only overthrow you in the house, what if they hold you hostage and no one is aware?


Once in a while, buy them Obalende Suya (l hear thats one way to win their votes and confidence grin )
Bloody, squinting, black, beady-eyed bast*rds are running the show now, like it or get eaten! shocked

Apart from prayer and fasting or having a pact with them to move to your neighbours,there's no solution. If you do fumigate,theyll probably have flu for few days and I bet they have GPs too.

They are so intelligent with mouse traps that they deactivate it before eating the bait.As for the glue,they will roll their eyes and run past it until the glue is totally dry and then eat the bait.
If you decide to starve them you are in trouble,they will leave your flipflops and eat your best shoes and probably do number 1 and number 2 on your bright coloured dresses. The bigger ones are not really the problem,they small ones will frustrate you to the fullest.
The tiny ones ate and disconnected my dad's loudspeaker while he was playing his favourite music before.

Yes there are rats in London,I saw them in the underground.

cold: When i was still running a poultry i suffered from the op's predicament.Ol' boy those rats were a menace,i'd arrive the poultry one morning and discover a chicken had been decapitated  shocked no exaggerations.So i consulted some of my customers on how they preserve their eggs from rats & one of them recommended some kind of poison,it's called shayin bera (rat tea).It's bluish in color,you sprinkle it in water and put it in strategic places.The first time I tried it i arrived the next day & counted 112 dead rats  shocked.It worked like magic,the next day 89 & the next 64 it kept decreasing to the barest minimum cuz in truth you can't entirely decimate a rat population around a farm.

When they start to avoid the water i'll apply it all over fish or sprinkle it in cracked eggs & also through crevices whilst patching up holes & fumigating breeding grounds.Damn!Those days were hectic  cheesy


Pls what is the brand name for that rat tea and where can I get it?
