I've just moved in to a new house and am in the process of doing up the garden. Problem is there's a rat bastard living under the shed.
How can I persuade my mooching mouses cousin tenant to move out?
I'm in the uk, have a small dog and really don't want to put kill traps down because there are other small animals in the area. I also get that live traps just don't work as a humane option with rats.
Lift the shed clean off its foundation
throw a running lawn mower under it
dump the shed back upside down while screaming
Don't stop screaming for a few days
Guarantee the rat will go

Get a smooth interior trashcan with no lips or surfacea that can be climbed and make a rolling trap with a 2x4. Bring rat indoors, isolate for three days, clean him up, remove mites or fleas and make him your friend.
Tiny live traps are bad, but a few paper towels, water and food in a trashcan and it won't give a fuck. It'll just think it fell.
