JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I STARTED SMELLING THAT SMELL AND CHECKED AND THERE WAS A DEAD RAT UNDER MY BED UGGGHHH
God knows when it got there but a) I only just started smelling That Smell an hour back (and I crashed for a couple of hours this afternoon) and b) I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there yesterday because I hauled the old suitcase out from under the other side of the bed to take to the op shop and I didn’t spot anything.
But ugggghhhhhh.
Just stopped shaking… I had to deal with one just before Christmas, though, so maybe that took the edge off?
What worries me is when it got in and how long it’d been there - as I said, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there yesterday and I only just started smelling That Smell, on the other hand it was stuck to the carpet and matted underneath, so… uggh.
Problem is, the foundations have sagged so there’s a lot of places it could have got in (part of the reason I’ve sold the house). I just hope that’s the last one I have to deal with before settlement day. >.<

Big hugs.
omg, wtf
rats are the worst
so many hugs
eat a million butter menthols
Luckily I had some peppermint oil on hand, so that’s been sprinkled around.
I just hope the smell hasn’t got into the mattress or the bed. Ugggh.
😱😭💀
Holy shit, stuff of nightmares!! That’s farked.
Least it’s gone now, but damn.
One time I finished my black coffee to find bits of cockroach in the bottom of the mug… if that makes you feel any better about sleeping on a rat.
Aaaaargh! 😱
I hope you’re okay?
Many years ago, I lived in Ferntree Gully.
Beautiful suburb, lots of birds and other wildlife. Very peaceful.
But one night, I was fast asleep, when I was awakened by a rustling and scratching sound in the wardrobe.
I turned the light on, opened the wardrobe door.
AND OUT RUNS A MOUSE!!!
I jumped up on the bed and SCREAMED!
The mouse ran straight out the door as fast as it could.
I’m not sure who was more frightened — me or the mouse!
Anyway, next day I went to Bunnings and got a caulking gun and sealed up the spot where I *think* it got in.
Big cleanup in the kitchen and the back yard too.
That was the last I saw of it.

Urggggghhhhh, burn down the whole house and have a decontamination shower.
Still better than a live rat I guess?
