I'm sitting at the computer and I hear it. And it is loud. I'm looking for the cats and hoping it is just them like it has been for the last month. Nope. I quickly go outside and everything looks the same at the closed up hole that allowed the rats in.
Come back in, sit down and hear it again. Damn. So I take a deep breath and wish it hadn't snowed. The new siding would have been on. But instead it has been bumped till next week. Oy.
Just before I head to Clark I decide to go out and check the hole one more time. I have a big pile of insulation. Now what I wonder is if the pile is outside and filling the hole, does that mean the rat is still inside? Did he just go in and decide this is a good space to live in and wanted to make sure the others can't.
My neighbor Drew was outside so I chatted with him for a minute. His trap had got tripped, but no rat. He said the neighbor on the other side of him has caught six so far though. At least I am not the only one with rats.
The little man and I reset the trap and hope for the best. But if this is the one who tripped Drew's trap, he won't get caught in ours. Guess we need Bill the pest guy to come back and throw some more bait in the hole.
