Housemates build real-life “Mouse Trap” to evict giant rat – and catch it all on video
Remember the Mouse Trap board game? These housemates basically constructed a real-life version – to get rid of a giant rat.
You’ll have to watch it two or three times to work out what the hell is going on, but really – it’s ingenious.

Jody Mackin and her three housemates used mops, brooms and some homemade blockades to get the rat out of their bathroom, down the stairs and out the front door.

Okay, so it’s not IDENTICAL to the Mouse Trap game readers over 40 might remember, but it’s kind of similar. A bit.
Twitter was especially excited by the slap shot at the end.
@jodeball4REALZ gotta give credit where credit is due, the slap shot at the end was all @kotalikmyballz

But not everyone was as impressed as we were.
@jodeball4REALZ you and your disgusting friends should’ve been left in a condom. Or swallowed. #AnimalCrueltyIsNotFunny #StopAnimalCruelty

On the other hand. IT’S A RAT.
My animal-loving side cringed when the rat bounced down the stairs but pests are pests & that’s more humane than rat glue or poison https://t.co/PoIn6vnJ1X

But what if it comes back?
He gonna come back with his rat friends, tie you up and throw you in a freezer and then make your house a five star restaurant https://t.co/MpBMkytZSd

Let us pray that never happens, right?
You’ve seen the rat. Now watch the Mouse Trap.
