I HATE DEAD RATS Options

[clarissa]

Today was hell. My dog brought in a dead rat in my room as a present for me. I started freaking out.. my mom thought my dad was having a stroke so she burnt whatever she was cooking and the alarms started to go off.. then my dog started barking like crazy. I ran outside to throw the dead rat in the trashcan BUT when I came back to my room, there was ANOTHER ONE! I started freaking out again and my dad just got home so he put it in a plastic bag and threw it away. Then I started cleaning up my room to see where the rats where coming from and if there was any hiding in my REALLY messy room. Then I came back downstairs to report to my dad that there weren't anymore.. then he found out I didn't put the first rat in a plastic bag so he made me DIG IN THE TRASHCAN to put it in a plastic bag (i used gloves).

After all that was done, I went back to my room. I started vacuuming like crazy to make sure there weren't any dead rat pieces left in my room. I didn't have disenfecting stuff so I just sprayed a ton of febreeze where the dead rats were. My friend was gonna run over to my house to give me lysol but her parents wouldn't let her.. they probably thought I would inhale it or something.. so they told her to give me an air freshener instead. :| So anyway, now I'm hiding in the corner of my room farthest away from where the dead rats were. I'm scared there's still dead rat bacteria thriving in that small spot X( And now I'm trying to stay away from my dog :(

Sorry for the long post.. I just had to tell someone. Do you think febreeze will get rid of most of the dead rat germs? I know it takes away odor.. it has alcohol in the ingredients.. I dunno. I'm really paranoid. And has a pet ever done something like this to freak you out?

[*wind&fire*]

hahaha eww... thats gross...

[zbrittanyz]

That is nasty. But don't be afraid of the spot, the rats are gone now. Move on with your life.

[*jooleeah*]

That's pretty gross. I get scared of just seeing a bug in my room! I don't think febreeze will help the germs or anything. It just helps the odor go away o_o. Good luck with the dead rats =/

[clarissa]

to wavybaby162 - Yeah.. but the bacteria from the dead rats are probably still there.

[FoOd]

Wow, good thing I dont have a dog.

[calmresistance]

I hate live rats. Bleck. At my old house, I went on vacation for a week, and when I came back there were two live rats hiding under my pillow. My room was messy too, food crumbs and such everywhere. Ugh. Now I always keep my room clean, and I don't eat in there. I eat in my brother's room ^_^.

[Skyline Drive]

Man that is pretty gross. Buy Febreeze Antimicrobial.

[ApocalypseAelis]

I hate dead people. :(

Omg if there was one in my room, I'd throw it in a trashcan immediately and spray the spot with lysol.

[Shattered_Hope]

Eww....I think everyone hates dead rats....

[*stephinika*]

ugh that's so gross...i would have completely freaked if that happened to me.

[clarissa]

haha, my friend's gonna give me lysol at school. hopefully no teachers will see us? i don't want them to think i inhale the stuff.

first, my dad was mad at me.. now he WANTS me dog to kill rats so he can get rabies. how mean. i think my dog killed a rabbit by giving it a heart attack while he was chasing it. gosh, i hope my dog will stop. :(

[*wind&fire*]

huh your dad wants the dog to have rabies?

[Chii]

maybe you should take your dog to one of those obedience schools...

my cat brought me a dead mouse...i thought she was playing with a rag scrap but then i got a good look this was all outside though, thank goodness

[clarissa]

huh your dad wants the dog to have rabies?

yes, he REALLY dislikes my dog.

[miszSERENiTY]

Haha thas was funny. I`ve had expieriences with dead mice and my cat but ew..rats...they`re bigger and wayy grosser.

[sharerol]

Ew, that's pretty gross.

[*wind&fire*]

yes, he REALLY dislikes my dog.

the dog can still live even if it has rabies

[Chii]

the dog can still live even if it has rabies

not for too long...it would have to be put down...

[clarissa]

^ eek. well, he's got his rabies shot already.. i think.

[whomps]

My cat has brought in mice before. If they're dead, I throw them away but if they're alive, I let them go far far away. These are MICE not rats. And I try not to get mad at my cat either, because it's just a present for the family..

[LadyXTor]

My friends dog ate 5 pigeons and she had to pull them out of his throat...i know....sick isn't it?

[KELLYYY]

My friends dog ate 5 pigeons and she had to pull them out of his throat...i know....sick isn't it?

Eew. That's why I don't keep my dog outside.

Anyways, Febreeze? I dunno. It smells good though. My brother sprays it in his shoes.......... I know, right?

[toodlepops.]

Eew, that's gross.
Tahnkfully, I don't have a dog. xD

[kryzcoak47luv666]

My dogs don't do that at all, but thats cuz we don't have rats
we used to have mice in my old house and my dogs killed them, ha ha, stupid mice, good dog!

Yeah I was watching this show called Life Of Grime: New York and this guy ran around with a plastic baseball bat and killed mice in his apartment complex (he was the super) and yeah he killed over 30,000 mice, man he's cool, but yeah I hate MICE AND RATS! and thats so mean that your dad wants your dog to get rabies, I'm calling the ASPCA and PETA!!! lol, j/k, but I'm so against animal cruelty, except for vermin, i hate them...

[belg]

your dog is such a nuisance... LOL.... i do hate dead rats too... they freakin stink!

[jaeman]

You suffer deadrattaphobia.
There probably is no infections or germs left on the spot but just to make sure, clean it with some ordinary household cleaner then I'm pretty sure you'll be safe. If you want, just take a carpet and roll it over the spot to keep you from stepping on it.
And for your dog, just brush his teeth or something.

[misoshiru]

that's gross. at least the rats are gone now. everything's ok.

[starlette]

oh I'm so sorry!! Thats really gross. I hate dead rats too. My great aunt sharon has a 5 bedroom huge house in the country, and shes lived there for like 20 years, and 20 years of stuff has piled up. There are some rooms you cant walk into cuz its so bad. So her kids go and help her clean, and I got forced to go one time, so I was sitting watching the tv, surrounded by stacks of newspaper litterally too tall for me to see over when I was sitting down, and they were baggin up the papers (some of them were newspapers from the 70's!!!) and they told me to help, so when I got down to the bottom of the first pile I found a dead rat. I was so freaked out. her whole house reeked of them. so then they were going thru the kitchen, where she had bags of groceries she never emptied out, and there were like canned good from like, 15 years ago, and in the bottom of that bag was another dead rat. that day within 10 hors of work we came across 7 dead rats. how disguting is that. And we were only cleaning out 2 rooms!! It was sooo nasty. I refuse to go there ever again. So yeah, I feel your pain.

[loljuliana]

o.0 Maybe you should call the exterminator or something?

[xlaydee_v]

i have one thing to say : EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW lols. Wow. Um I guess clean your room the best way as possible and check/make sure there aren't more. Wow, your dog is..

[canny]

[vampireduster]

[angelrevelation]

its just a rat.. (or 2). pick it up with a paper towel, spray the place with disinfectant. use rubber gloves if you're that freaked. it's not that scary to scream about it...

oh my god how can you not clean for so long and let your stuff get cluttered up like that? doesn't it bother her?

[aznxdreamer]

Rats are amusing... especially lab rats.. heheh <_< dead rat thing must seriously suck though... we once had a rat in our house, and I was 4 back then, so I would spazz out.

[xMayleex]

[DanielleMaria05]

EW! yeah, my cats bring snakes on my porch. Its like, do you really have to do that??

The first time I read it I thought it said you dad, and I'm like, why would her dad give her a dead rat???

[eli5e]

ewwww =X ... i have never seen a dead rat before ... or an alive one nonetheless lol =p

[__PASS10NAT3]

Whooaa.. that was crazyyy.. lol

[BeyondElite]

That is so gross. It happened to us before. There was one time that I saw a dead rat on our living room carpet, I suddenly freaked our because of the bad odor. I told my mom, who is a nurse and is very concerned on our house's cleanliness, about the dead rat lying on the carpet. The next time I saw her, she was taking out some house cleaners (such as vacume, antibacterial spray, anitmicrobacterial carpet cleaner and gloves) and even some hospital equipments (such as an ultraviolet fluorescent light, which was given to her by the hospital employees, and an isopropyl alcohol). She started by taking out the dead rat to the trash outside with her gloves on, then she sprayed some anitbacterial spray, after, she applied some antimicrobacterial carpet cleaner and started scrubing, then she started to vacume the carpet, damped the carpet with isopropyl alcohol, and finally, placed the ultraviolet fluorescent light on it for about thirty minutes to prevent bacterias from the dead rat to spread more. That takes a lot of work. I should've closed my big mouth.

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

Yeah, uh dead rats......gross. Bleh, living rats are okay but dead, no thanks eheh.

[xj_liana_tx]

wow what a mess up day... i can't even stand to SEE a dead rat... and you had to CLEAN UP 3.
i think you might want to clean out your dog's mouth and get it trained.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

OMG poor you =( well i had something similar but not as gross, here's how it started i was playing my gameboy sp when i saw a small grayish figure near my dog's food bowl and i looked to see what it was and it was a mouse x__x; i got up and the mouse froze. when i stood still it moved again when i said boo and hid. My dog was in the other room at the time so i couldn't call him in to try and catch it or else the mouse would probably get scared and run away, it was in my dog's food bowl and i called my uncle he told me to trap it but i was so scared i couldn't do anything and it got away, my dog say it and nipped at it but i guess it squished through a hole and that's the closest i ever got to seeing a rat o_o

[ITSBONKERS]

eh, that sucks.

[Ykim917]

Wow, sounds like a crazy day.

[jue]

eww; i saw a dead baby rat.. NASTY

[SMUSHiENESS]

EEK. rats give me the hebeejeebes. their long tails and furry.. ew.
Go out and buy some lysol. Febreese wont help.
