This seems even worst now because i just posted what kind of animal id like to be in another thread.

Ive been living in a rent house a little over a year. We have a 1500 gal water tank in the back that supplies the house with all our water. Theres a shed right next to the tank with a water pump and some other stuff that im not sure what its purpose is.
Ive been aware that theres some sort of huge rat (bigger than my dads chuahaha) living in the shed. I didnt give two shits about it, thought it was kinda cool actually. Well i just now poked my head in the shed to see whats been goin on in there this past i winter, and to my surprise, dam near all the insulation has been shreadded off the walls. theres also cactus and dog shit everywhere. Also noticed a small tube was hanging off the water pump,which i think will cause the pump to spew water out of the side, when the tank is full.
cost about 100$ to fill up the tank. we filler up about once a month.
with the tube hanging off the side, theres no telling how much water has been wasted, if any.
Should i try to kill this fucker? if so , how? Seems like a cruel thing to do. Maybe some kind of trap? but then id be afraid to go in there and release it from the trap...Help me riu! what should i do?!

Use a trap. Don't release it inside the pumphouse.

ive seen this thing once. I would say definitely not a rat. Looks just like a rat, but like 10 times bigger.

If it was a rat id say to use a rat trap on it, WHACK! Only because rats can carry some pretty nasty diseases, think bubonic plague for starters..as much as I dont like to hurt critters ....lots of damage, youre gonna want to call your landlord...heres what id do, I just cked ebay and they have live catch possum traps (youve got a possum) for 23 bucks delivered...put some catfood or sardines in it, catch him..then release him a couple miles away...problem solved and didnt hurt him...

if the landlord won;t do anything about it professionally, havahart trap and garbage can full of water to drown the fucker. possums and racoons are the new urban rats. watch out cleaning up the shit as it's probably loaded with roundworm(s) eggs that can infect humans by inhaling or oral ingestion. also can have fleas which carry a form of typhus. wear a mask.

I'd be fucking pissed you got yourself a family in their I'd feed them some rat poison in ground beef just make sure you can get to them rotting animals stink. Or call the landlord and he can deal with it that shit ain't going to be easy.

golden malrin mixed with reg Coke was my go to raccoon/possum poison. make sure dogs, cats, and kids can't get to it. works fast
