i do think they're gone. the one i got this morning was the problematic mother fucker running around all over the place, i think. i'm sure there's at least one, probably two, and maybe more, dead ones under the upstairs sink, which i poisoned via the floor in my bathroom.

but i haven't clarified where they're getting in. i think it's the backyard. i need to get out there and find the hole and patch it.

the rats were only coming down here to drop food off and use it as a burrow, and maybe to cool down a little. they were living in the upstairs kitchen and the upstairs bathroom. the property owner should pay me for doing rodent control in the adjacent property, but i'll be happy if he refunds me for the insulation i bought and fixes the fucking hole in the bathroom.
