A landlord brought glue traps once upon complaints of a rat.

After the rat was caught, I had read about how they slowly suffocate over days, often chewing off their own limbs in a largely futile attempt to escape.

I ended up bludgeoning the rat. I still remember the high pitched scream it made upon receiving the first blow. It only lasted about a minute but it was a pretty fucked up experience, and that was going the merciful route.

>upon receiving the first blow?

How many times did you hit?

A lot of times. It was dead pretty quickly but I went a bit overboard just to be sure.
