There's a rat under my stairs. It's hiding amongst construction rocks, so there is no way I can reach out and grab it. It also means that it WILL notice when I'm moving off the rocks and go hide elsewhere.
My mother wants me to either collapse the rocks on top of it or poison it. But because I'm not a faggot, I don't want to do such a thing to a creature that was merely hiding from the cold.
So I was planing on trapping it with orange and bananas on a bucket, what do you think?

No, that means you ARE a faggot. Your plan is to feed the rat, and move it elsewhere? It'll just come back for more free oranges & bananas. Just take care of it, your mom knows what's up.

citrus fruits will kill a rat

How so?

I'm obviously going to bathe it and tear out any ticks I found.

If it's cold turn your garden hose on under the house and wet it all, hopefully it'll make the rat want to go somewhere else.
Btw, I like mice but rats are fucking disgusting

That's brilliant.

Bullshit. Rats climb into citrus orchards all the time. They cause shitloads of damage in Florida. Citric acid can't do fuck all to a rat, and the scent of the fruit sugars will merely attract it.

is it cats then? i remember reading about one domestic creature or another being deathly averse to citrus

Might be cats, I've heard similar
Don't give weed to cats
