Hail Citizens!
The rats have finally fled in defeat.
It was a combination of snap traps and poison that convinced them to relocate.
I am sure they will return to test my resolve.
They will return and then they will die.
The final death toll:
28.5 rats
1 opossum.
I never did find that cephalopod.
I am still wary that this could be the calm before the storm. My mind conjurs some sort of "chest bursting" scene at the dinner table with blood stained rats pouring out the exploded chest cavities of my loved ones but I will keep my fears to myself for the moment.
