So eventually we were able to slide something under the bowl, get it out of the house and just dispose of it.

It was still alive.

So then we brought it over, we put it in a cardboard box and we brought it back around to where the river is and we just let it loose there because obviously that's where it came from.

So it was in the bowl.

So eventually then what happened then was there was three more down the back garden and one managed to get into the shed.

So at the side of the house,

The one that got in ate through all the expanding foam and got into the pipe and that's how we got into the kitchen.

Ate a hole underneath where the kitchen sink was and he was roaming about.

So we just laid traps down and we put some bait down for him and eventually he ate the bait and then eventually then he ended up dying then.

But the one that's still in the shed, I don't know whether he's there or not, but we haven't seen any more activity down the back garden.

Have you been in the shed?

I've been in the shed, but I haven't had the smell.

Once you've had anything like that in your house, the smell once, it will never leave your memory or it will never leave your sense of smell because you know what that smell smells like.

It's absolutely horrific.

And I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.

I wouldn't wish it upon, not that I have any, but I wouldn't wish it upon anybody out there.

I'd be very, I'd be, I'd be reluctant to, but I have to do it to get into the shed and I'm on tender hooks going into the shed.

Now, my little one doesn't go near the shed, so that's, so that's a great Scott, but everything is in there that we need, like bikes and, and stuff, activity stuff that we need to go out, beach stuff, all that's going to have to be all disposed of now because you're not, because you can't be too careful, especially with droppings and the urine that comes from the rat.

Yeah.
