To catch a rat

This morning I was horrified to hear a mouse running on the floor inbetween the head of my bed (my matress sits on the floor) and the wall. I turned on the light and saw it run back the other way, only, horror of horrors, it wasn't a mouse at all: it was a rat!!! Of course I went screaming and dancing into the living room, where a few minutes later my roommate asked what was it.

After a trip to Wal-Mart my room is now a mine field. I have 9 traps set up with several more spread throughout the house. I am not sleeping in my room until I've caught it and any of his friends who might be around.

By the way, I named him Horace.
