I enjoyed reading this, even though it makes me think that some of the noises I hear in my house are rats scurrying around the attic.
When we moved in, there was a huge mummified rat in a large trap hanging from a wire in the garage. I left him there for years, hoping other intruders would see it as a warning to stay away. My late wife, Kelly, finally persuaded me to move the rat mummy to the shed—where it still hangs.
I sometimes think they may have grown bold without that deterrent in place and moved back in.

Thanks Gary. Yep. I left a few poison bait blocks in our attic, just in case...!
