When we got back from Kenya for Holiday we had rats in our flat . . . beyond GROSS! there are two things to bear in mind when thinking about this suybject:
1-I sleep on the floor
2- We live on the second floor
We settle in for the night and my roommate arises for the next day and our friend #1 runs across her foot. These kinds of experences happen off and on for a week. We then go for death . . . at this point we know there is one and he is using our washing machine as a place of refuge. In Sudan death of rats is not usually routine. A fact that baffles me. So we set the trap (that will leave them alive), FWAAAM! Got one in the middle of the night. I arise first and he's caught! I then see his friend a few minutes later. Friend #1 gets death by drownding. Contestant #2 is hiding that day in the washing machine, that night we suit up to get him. Unsure if he has escaped.
He was gone . . . sadly.A few days later he met the end of his life. We never caught the #3 we saw a few days later . . . but a few days later the "plumber" came and found 5 plugging the sewer to our building. Beyond Gross!
How we got them living on the 2nd floor i don't know, but we were told later they probably crawled up the toilet, gag me! I am not convinved that is possible.
Just another day in Khartoum!
