Oh man. I have many rodent stories. I don't mind mice, but rats scare me. As a kid we had a rat problem in our house. My father had these giant rat traps which I'm sure weren't too expensive. Still, my dad was frugal. If he found out I just threw the rat out with the trap, rather than removing the mangled, disgusting, often maggot ridden carcass so we could reuse the trap, there would be hell to pay.
