We knew we had a rat problem, we just didn't realize how BIG a rat problem we had! One night after climbing in bed we heard our nightly visitor in the kitchen trash. Phil went out with a flashlight to investigate. I heard him exclaim, "Oh crap!" and I came running. We called Danny out and all grabbed broomsticks. Phil chased him out from under the kitchen counter and there he was...all 6 pounds of rat. In fact, we were reluctant to accept that this huge animal was actually a rat and debated if it was possible to kill it with mere broomsticks. Deciding that it was "now or never" we went for it...well, Phil went for it. By the end his broomstick had become nunchucks, but it was 1-0 for us versus rats. Three days later...
...this guy showed up. Possibly to avenge his brother's death. This time Danny decided to be the exterminator. After doing my rat-battle-prep jobs (which include closing all the hallway doors and arming the men with their rat-bats), I sat in my cozy perch on the kitchen counter and took footage.Since these two exciting rat-events we have successfully patched the screen on our porch so that we no longer have R.O.U.S. invasions, but it was fun while it lasted!

Oh my gosh, I'm laughing, but really that is not even a little bit funny. YUCK! I'm SO glad to hear they're gone.
WOW! Glad your hole in the screen is patched. I must say, I think that's the biggest one I've ever seen. Great job, boys.
That was the most impressive rat I have ever seen. And I'm so glad you guys decided to video the murder, a little morbid, but I wouldn't expect anything less. Thanks for the laugh.
That's a good reason to get a large pet snake. The pelts on your rats seemed pretty nice; hope you kept them. We get a lot of rats here about the same size, but ours are all have mange.
