Typical of Nigerians... recommending solutions without knowing the exact root cause. Some say its a carnivorous type of rat, some say its a cat, others suggest a snake, someone said probably ants, I thought I heard a guy mentioned a dog or lion.

Personality, I would be concerned and avoid sleeping in that apartment until I see what's eating the rat up.

I will buy, rent or borrow a small table top surveillance camera that can be powered by a portable power bank. The camera can work 10pm to 6am with the help of the power bank. This way you get to see the village winch or animal that's eating up that rat.

You have a shrew in your room.

It's what Yoruba call ASINRIN!

Drop poisoned food consistently for a week. You'll be fine.

I know this isn't the right section. But I don't know the right one and so I opted to post here since it seems to have a lot of traffic.

Yesterday, I returned to my room to find a rat dead in the middle of it. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be bothered. But this rat has clearly been bitten (pictures will be displayed below). I called a neighbour and we examined it. We were arguing if a snake could have done it, and if yes, why it didn't swallow it. In any case, we decided to leave it where it was to see if whatever killed it would return for it. I went to sleep at a friend's.

We returned this morning to find the dead rat gone. So, I called others to me and we ransacked every nook and cranny of the room. We couldn't find anything threatening. But we did find another rat killed in much the same manner as the first (second picture).

It irks that I can't find what did this. I can't sleep in the room as it is. So please, experts in the house, help me to identify what it could be and what can be done.

Mods please help move to front page.

very simple make a good clean-up in your house buy a litle cement and fill up every hole in your room. is not spiritual. thanks.

It's nice to see that we are now evolving. Never thought that I will see the day where everything is not entirely blamed on spiritual forces.

Who knew? Can't wait to see what the next decade will bring. My money is on calling out our church leaders on their bulls...

A variety of stuff recommended. First, I searched for and blocked every hole I could find connected to the outside. I sliced white onions and garlic all around the house and also threw in some bitter kolas. Haven't had any such issues since then.
