Only issue is if they chew through the water pipes

This rat needs some calibre pumped into the compost heap...the bigger the better...kill the bastard with concussion or make the prick leave home...build a suppressor out of a 44 gal drum so you don't annoy the neighbors.
May bee if you put a sizable block of ice beside the compost, drill a hole in the middle of it and sprinkle some surprise peas around it. Sit and watch it, when that cunning old rat comes out for a pee kick him in the icehole. :thumbs:
Get a plastic bag from off a double bed mattress, place over the compost bin when you know he is in residence and weight it down. Then with you oxy acetylene gas set run a good mix into the bag, then tape a sparkplug into the hole in the corner where you ran the gas in. Now run your wires back to your hiding spot, connect one to a car battery earth and the other through a coil or ignition unit to the pos. Ear muffs should be worn
This is sounds a lot like you need a king rat to draw it out.
I recommend inviting some politicians around, tell them there is free stuff and that parliament services will in fact pay them for the afternoon. With a pack of rats running around like that you are sure to entice the problem rat out and probably won't even have to kill it as it will bugger off with the rest of them when the bludging comes to an end, namely when the free stuff stops.
Wow that only took seven pages.....you guys are so cruel.....the original op has a name of blisters and you are advising him to blow up his compost heap........ummm.....did the name not give you the hint that maybe he or she has not such a good relationship with things that got boom:XD:;):thumbsup:...don’t worry he will bae back with a new name of scorched blisters:o:XD::P
I would add a caution to the gas explosion technique: this can trigger earthquakes due to a seismic pulse, as we can observe has happened in Christchurch. There have now been two earthquakes following the gas demolition of the house in ChCh on Friday. The first on Saturday and another this morning. Close study of the photos from ChCh reveals that No rats are present and I have it on good authority that all rats in a large radius have legged it, making one think that this method may be a viable alternative to 1080 drops, with the reservation to not use it during the bird nesting season.
theres been a lot of shit talked but I've yet to see a bloody dead rat. Come on @Blisters sort the bastard would you. You've left me hanging in anticipation
I have heard, but never tried it, that rats cant stand the sight of a human male masturbating within their sight and will vacate the area forthwith...of course this does not get rid of the rat, it just makes it relocate....let us know if this bit of advice works or not.
