So what does a rat do when it’s indoors? This one decided to
make a nest underneath the conveyor belt’s control panel. Maybe it couldn’t
find its way out again and managed to survive on the rubbish scattered around
the store. At one point it must have gotten desperate and went for the poison
inside one of the rat traps. Then it must have rotted away until the stench
finally persuaded the management team to call the exterminator to remove it. There
must have been opportunities for it to escape at various point throughout the
day but perhaps it was asleep or it didn’t want to risk it. It might have even
gotten used to its new home. Occasionally I’d find rubbish bags that no-one had
taken out the day before that had been gnawed through to get to the good stuff.
Either way, the item in the biohazard bag that the exterminator walked out with
was a good foot long and looked quite a lump.
