It wont come out as long as there is activity in the house, but I can not stay up forever, and niether can Lucy. We are both looking to kill it. She wants it gone as much as I do. It's times like these I wish I could have my former dogs. Max, would kill it straight out, and so would Bella. They were both Cattledogs and afraid of nothing. Poor Lucy heard the rat this morning in the kitchen, she stalked, and actually made it take a few tracks back before it disappeared, and when she came back to me I could tell she was afraid. So, Kudos for her being brave in the face of advercity but she was truely scared. Poor kid.

The rats didn't come back either ever since we put on that chalk (and left it on), so there must be something in that chalk that's keeping them away.

I you could have seen the garbage cans for our apartment you would puke. The roaches were so prevalent, that our way of throwning out the trash was to have one of us go down to the trash cans with a broom, open it, and then stand back while the other threw the trash from the second floor into the bin. The bin was completely covered in roaches and you really didn't want to touch them. Gross, gives me chills to this day to think about how many were around.

Yikes! My house was full of them (we even had a rat or two) until my mom used this special chalk and used it on cabinets, some boxes, etc. Haven't seen one ever since. It had Chinese lettering, so who knows what's in that stuff.

At least it's just one creature and not a swarm of them.
