Creatures that can sneak into your house through the sewers

What to do if there are rats in the apartment? And is it true that these and other uninvited guests can easily get out of the toilet? Editorial "Site" I've prepared a list of creatures that can sneak into your house through the sewers.



Rats in the apartment Rodents are constantly looking for new places to live. And most of all they like where it is warm, safe and enough food. Usually, this place is the basement. But sometimes frosty weather, overpopulation and deratization cause rats to leave this habitual place.



In search of food and a new shelter, the animals fall into the sewers. And from there, thanks to flexible anatomy, they find their way into the sewage pipes. Rats have tenacious legs, swim perfectly and can climb into the hole with a five-kopeck coin. Therefore, sewer pipes serve as a convenient way for them to move.



Next, the tailed weasels can only go through the toilet shutter. People far from plumbing find it very difficult to do. But in fact, a layer of water of ten centimeters is not an obstacle for a rat. The video shows a furry diver overcome it in just a couple of seconds.

What to do if a rat is found in the toilet The situation when the rat came from the rear at the most inopportune moment, not from the pleasant. First, pinch your hand, maybe you're not awake yet. If the animal is not gone, stay calm. Do not shout and wave your hands, because a cornered animal can become aggressive.



Quickly close the toilet lid. Press her down with something heavy. Wash the water. If it does not help, pour chlorine or other caustic liquid into the toilet bowl. Then flush the water again. Yeah, not the most humane way. But as Boyarsky sang, and la herr com a la herr.

If the rats still managed to run around the apartment, you should call specialists for deratization. Rodent traps and ultrasonic repellents help. But there are simpler ways. Like pungent smells. They say that rodents can not stand the smell of burnt wool. Burn a piece of an old fur hat, and the voracious pests immediately sparkle with tiny heels!

Snakes: Where do snakes come from in the toilet? Well, if it's somewhere in Australia, but not in our snow! However, even a cursory search on the Internet shows that there are enough precedents.



“In the dark, I noticed something long and black on the floor. Turned on the light and was horrified! It was a six-foot snake. It was so huge that it occupied more than half of the perimeter of the toilet, said a resident of Perm.

The Permian python probably escaped from one of its neighbors. But sometimes snakes from the wild can get into the pipes. They like cool and humid places. And the sewers are followed by rats in search of food.

In Ilyichevsk, Odessa region marten climbed out of the toilet of the apartment on the 4th floor. The six-year-old, who found an uninvited guest, got scared and called his mother. The woman immediately called for rescuers. Fortunately, the animal was quickly caught and taken to a local environmental center. But the day was spoiled, and the victims will go to the toilet for a long time with fear.



Scientists say that martens make their way into the sewer from the collector. Flexible elongated body allows them to easily move only through horizontal tubes. Therefore, they usually do not penetrate beyond the first floors. And the case in Ilyichevsk can be considered unique.

As you can see, the appearance of a rat or a snake from the toilet is not a story or an urban legend. Although this happens more often with the inhabitants of the first floors. And to save yourself from unpleasant surprises, never flush leftovers down the toilet. If there's no food in the pipes, there's no reason for rats to climb into your sewer. There will be no snakes after them.
