There was one something like a year ago. We caught it, sealed off the entry point, that was that. I saw one possible entry point in a closet area, so I put a heavy book on top of it, problem solved.

Flash forward to this morning: found a rat turd on my desk. Looked around, didn't see any anywhere else. Very bizarre. I look in the closet-- my wife had removed the book. Turds all around that area. Goddammit.

So yeah, no clue if it's still hanging out in there or what. I'll set a trap or two tonight-- or maybe leave the dog out of her crate to be out on the prowl. Haven't decided. Regardless, a suboptimal development when I have to be home all day every day for work. Every single noise sounds like it could be a rat. Super distracting.
