eversince Fluffy died, my kitchen has been besieged with nightly raids by a dirty, big rodent. before the techie comes to install the alarm i thought it best to get rid of the scurrying long tailed skank. my patience ended when one morning, my container of spaghetti was opened, and my bottle of sesame oil spattered across the floor. obviously i was cursing that morning while cleaning up. one thought did cross my mind, that this is like the rat in ratatouille, except that i doubt this one has any culinary skills at all.
so i brought the container to the sink, and left it there, still not wanting to throw the contents away. the next morning, the lid of the container was missing. another thought came to mind....is this an italian rat??
and so i bought the sticky gum, hoping that it 'd trap the rat. i put some pasta and then a breadcrust. the next morning the crust was missing. but there was no sign of a squeaking rodent trapped in the sticky gum.
yesterday i bought a steel trap. the problem was, the opening was a bit small, and i doubt that the rat would be able to get in to take the KFC chicken skin that i left. yep, i was correct. it was untouched. but the rodent made a mess on the floor, because it tried to take the pasta that i left on the gum....and i guess it struggled with it. still it got free. damn....how do you get rid of the rodent?
