Being in the construction field for many years I will give this one a try. The most common way rats enter house plumbing is through the roof plumbing vent, so step one is to secure those vents by putting a wire mesh over the openings. (securely)

Step two isn't easy but it should stop a rat in its tracks. Install a backflow preventer of the flap style in the verticle pipe under your toilet base. If its installed horizntally it won't be as effective.
Only a spring loaded flapper will work in the verticle pipe, and definately not one of the ball type preventers in a sewage pipe.

I love rats, though those were pet ones, and didn't go in the toilet (they did, however, love to paddle in the sink!)

Just give it a cuddle and send it on its way Grin

We just had a spider in our toilet once and my girlfriend almost made it to the space station. That sort of tickly feeling at 3 AM.

What I would do in that situation is flush. Wink

A smaller version in my case, the mouse was flushed down the loo; most often, an unwelcome rodent will head for what seems the nearest escape route... if you see a tail disappearing down the sink/tub drain, run a few hundred gallons of hot water down all the drains...
Yeah, may seem cruel but I'd rather not a U-turn reappearance up another hole.

I once had a snake in the loo when living in Australia on the farm. My dad in a fit of brilliance shot it with a rifle and destroyed the toilet in the process! The nearest DIY shop was only a couple of hundred kilometers away Roll Eyes

To say my mum was cross would be a MASSIVE understatement. Remember children high velocity firearms and porcelain don't mix Wink

Matt I grab the rat with a pliers from the tail and throw it in my yard against the concrete and kill it Grin

Steve I won't destroy my ceramic floor tile (I think is the most value thing of this house ,any ways those devises aren't neither available around Tongue

I'm thinking to dump a little ammoniac couple gallons every week until the rain seas0n goes away, should work

I envy you Mark how many countries have you lived !! Shocked

The problem is now me and my son (Thanks god I don't have women in this house....yet) we both scarred to sit in the toilet and while we are concentrating and relax Tongue

one of those animals jumps out and bite my a$ Butts Shocked

I never feel scared about rats ,I admire them to be such of great survivors ,yes unfortunately they also very smart and found the best and safe place to live in the sewers ,when I was a kid I always carry one White ones on my shoulder as a pet ,but in case some of you didn't know both black and white are the same one is produced in pet stores while the other grows underground and are plague

if you look up any of those videos is exactly the same picture i found yesterday

I've spent a large amount of my life abroad Alex, we left the UK when I was four. I've spent 3 years in America, half a year in Canada, two years in Australia, nine years in Hungary, various Far and Middle East countries.
I've also been to almost every country in Europe and done North Africa.
South and Latin America are still to be entered in my passport Wink
