A shareholder whose unit is on ground level and basement says she say a rat try to climb out of her toilet bowl last night. We know we have a mouse problem, but this is a new event. The sewer line from the street comes in through their unit or access to it is from their unit--not sure which. Anyone have this happen in their building? Do we need a plumber or an exterminator? Thanks.
How did u get rid of the problem? Plumber or exterminator?
We had our plumbing come and do a master snake job, after that we never seen anymore.

get a large smake and let him loose in the toilet!
Yes, I thought this was just a silly urban legend until I found a rat in the basement toilet in my home! They can come up from the sewer line up the drain to the toilet. I researched it quite a bit after it happened to me. There are several things you can do to prevent it from happening again, but in the meantime, keep the lid on your toilet when not in use to keep the rats from jumping out and getting loose in your home.
