He went for a drink and was trying to jump out and woke me up. I captured him/her in a tupper ware pitcher and slid a lid over the top and transported it about 150 yards away. This was 10:00 p.m. It returned the next day. Now it has no access to the building. The access points have been covered. It lived and probably is pretty grumpy about it all. I should have carried it farther away.
interesting how this rat lives! did he get flushed later?
