   God damn it. A fucking rat ran across the top of the thing I keep my figures and knocked two of them over. One of them is okay, but the other had her foot broken
   FUCKING RATS :tantrum:

     @ninja8tyu @Ronnie21093 Yeah, those traps seem to be very efficient, kills lots of mice for little effort

     @poopernova @ninja8tyu My family needs to find an efficient rat trap. So far we've tried snap traps and live traps, but they don't work :akko_tired:

     @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu You should try one of those traps that's just a large bucket and a ramp leading to the bucket, and fill the bucket with water so the rats drown

     @Ronnie21093 @poopernova mice are also more clever than you'd think, so whatever traps you do set up has to catch as many as possible, because they'll learn
     
     only real effective way is genocide through predator or chemical warfare

     @poopernova @ninja8tyu We would need to find a large enough bucket for that. The one we have would be too easy to climb out of or knock over.

     @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu 5 gallon buckets are pretty big and cheap, you can find them at most hardware store, and you might be able to get one for free if you look around at construction sites or something

     @ninja8tyu @poopernova Yeah, these rats are smart. I'm hoping the kittens I showed here last night are good rat hunters, because the cat already living in my house is not a hunter :flan_tired:

     @poopernova @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu if it's an actual rat they'll jump out of the 5 gallon bucket. For actual rats you need the big guns an

     @Spooke @poopernova @Ronnie21093 a little oil covering the bottom (or a lot of alcohol/water with dish soap) should prevent most of the rats from jumping out, i'd imagine

     @ninja8tyu @Ronnie21093 @poopernova i think it depends on how big the rat is because they can jump out of one of those big black plastic garbage bins with the lid on. There's a shawn woods video where he catches a rat in the mousetrap he was using and it almost jumped out.
