Smell a rat? Here's how you nab the pest

STOMPer Max caught a rat that hid in his flat at Choa Chu Kang. The STOMPer shares with readers three simple steps on how he did it.

Said the STOMPer:

"I am a resident of Choa Chu Kang Ave 1, Block 130. On the morning of February 5, 2012, I spotted a rat running from the outside corridor into my house kitchen.

"I discovered that the rat was hiding under the washing machine and used a broom to chase the rat out of the house. However, the rat did not escape through the main door and ran into my balcony.

"My dad and I tried to locate the rat but failed. Therefore, we decided to seek help from our neighbour since he was previously a pest control specialist."

Step 1: Lay traps

"My neighbour gave us a box of mousetrap (cardboard with sticky glue on top) to trap the rat. We placed a few traps on the balcony and waited for the rat to get trapped."

Step 2: Wait patiently

"After waiting for a few hours (about 3pm+) , the rat was finally caught on the mousetrap.

Step 3: Contain the pest

"I quickly used a container to contain the rat to prevent the rat from escaping."

There is always humane ways of solving a problem. This is unacceptable.

To kill it humanely, drown it or suffocate it ( close the lid with a lit candle inside). Please don't pour boiling water on it and don't put it in your freezer, you'll be torturing yourself
