Find his entry point and block it off. Poison's cruel and so is hurting it. Maybe tease him out and then block him out.

Borrow the neighbours cat and leave it in the garage overnight to keep Mr.Rat company. It's cheap, hastle free, chemical free, odourless and natural ... and if you setup a webcam you could charge for the "main event" and turn a tidy profit

My mates got a Berreta 12 bore and some 3" magnum shells, maybe I could ask him to pop along and take a few shots - just make sure you have a tin of paint and large pot of polyfilla handy along with a scraper to remove "ratty" from the floor / walls / ceilings.

ps - tease him out, my a**e

If your fully de-cated put some food down for it and leave the engine ticking over that should hopefully do the trick nicely.

yeah slap a mars bar up ya zorst wait till he goes up then put some mesh over the end and go drive your favourite roads for an hour,,,upon your return you can dine on barbecued rat,,,,,or lob it over the hedge if you prefer. p.S even better if you got one of them things that makes flames come out ya zorst.

They like the smell don't they??????? of sewers that is which my **** is very similair to . Too much information? I should say so fella .

Maybe thats an idea - to tempt the rat out as suggested by "neutral cruiser" you could shove a mars bar up your a**e bend over and wait and see if ratty is tempted . Personally I would stick with the 12 bore option just to see what the end result is.
