A few years ago I saw a mouse scurry from the living room through the kitchen to the laundry room. I think he squeezed under the dryer. I rolled up a rug under the kitchen/laundry room door to block his way. The next morning all the weather stripping under the door to the garage was chewed up, but he wasn't able to squeeze through. My husband put a trap by the garbage drawer under the kitchen sink and that's where we caught him.
We had to remove the door to the garage and reinstall the weather stripping. That door must weigh a hundred pounds!
I hate reading rat stories! I thought I saw one in the yard yesterday, right after we saw a big alligator in "our" pond for the first time. Good luck Springfield. Hopefully no more rats come to call.
