Killing 'Guests'
There are several successful ways to dispatch your average rodent, one of the most effective is by using a frying pan. (They are fast, but so is a quick slam) Other tried and tested methods my flatmate has used include:

1) Dropping a wardrobe on top of one,

2) Stabbing one with an arrow. (He used to do archery)

3) Drowning one in the bath. (They're excellent swimmers, but using a upturned bowl will soon rid them of life)

4) Sticky traps / Snap traps. These rodents are city rodents, they aren't stupid. We have only ever caught one with a snap trap. If you put food in them, they will take it without triggering the trap. As for the glue paper stuff, it works well but is fucking horrible to clean up afterwards.

I haven't seen any for a while. Wait whats that rummaging by the bin...

We had a mouse/rat called Stu in our student flat...
One late night we managed to corner him under the couch. As my pal Graeme lifted the couch he came shooting out at me. I instantly reacted (while no doubt squealing like a girl) and dashed the poor blighty with Graemes work shoe (dress shoe - quite a heavy thing).

Stu lay motionless.


Stu was dead.

Once you've given it a name
I don't think you're allowed to then kill it.
