Do rats ever come up through the toilet and invade a house?

It is very rare, but they do travel in sewers and may find their way into a toilet, here is a tip ~~~~~~~~~


If you find a rat in your toilet, try to remain calm, counsels Don Pace. He is one of two workers who kill rats in Seattle's sewers, and he says the first thing you should do if a rat shows up in your toilet is shut the lid. ';They can jump out,'; he says. Next, with the lid closed, take a bottle of dishwashing soap and squirt it into the bowl by using the opening between the seat and the rim of the toilet. The dishwashing soap makes the bowl and the pipe below it slippery, making it hard for the rat to get any traction. Then flush the toilet. Usually the rat goes down and doesn't come back.Do rats ever come up through the toilet and invade a house?

Cannot happen with me as we use a septic tank that needs emptying every ten years or so.
