Woman makes shock discovery inside of her toilet

A woman has been left startled after she discovered something that shouldn’t have been inside of her toilet.

A woman has been left startled after she discovered something that shouldn’t have been inside of her toilet — and needed to call in help.

The woman, from the Yorkshire region of the UK, discovered a rat had climbed up her drains and was hiding in the bottom of her toilet while she was using it.

Shocking footage from this incident shows the rat – which had since drowned upside-down in the water – stuck at the bottom of the toilet.

The woman called in rodent catcher Kieran Sampler, 30, who is estimated to have killed over 65,000 of the animals, said he’d never seen anything like it before.

“The rat has gone up another line of the drain and has come up into the toilet – while a woman was on the toilet,” Mr Sampler said.

“So we had to get it out, it was pretty bad – I’ve never had it where it’s come up the toilet.

“She was screaming – imagine being on the toilet and something brushes against you.”

He said he’s had calls about cats bringing rats in during the night and one living in the wooden planks of the bed.

Mr Sampler set up a Facebook page called Yorkshire Rat Pack in 2018, where he shares jobs and supports other rat catchers.

The father-of-one then founded his own business called Vermicure Pest Control, which covers South and West Yorkshire in the UK.

He avoids using traps, which would keep the rodents in a cage, because he says this traumatises them.

Mr Sampler instead has trained his two Lakeland Terriers Poppy and Penny to locate and kill the rats in the most humane way possible.

He said: “They kill the rats in seconds. It’s more humane than using poison in my opinion, which is why it’s never been made illegal.

“It also works quicker than poison – in a good way.”

Mr Sampler, who helps around 10 customers a day, says there has been an increase of people finding rats over the last few months.

He recommends that people cut back their garden foliage, “rat-proof” their decking and pick up their dog poo regularly to prevent them from going on their property.

Mr Sampler said: “This winter is going to be bad, I’m already getting farmers ringing me up two months in advance.

“Winter time is a vital time for rats – they love foliage so if you’ve got heavy foliage in your garden, then I would recommended cutting it back.

“I would try and reduce bird feeders, you can’t force people to get rid of them because everyone likes them, but I would try and rat-proof them as best you can.

“Decking is a nightmare because rats love decking – try and proof it up because they will go under it.

“A lot of people don’t pick up their dog poo up straight away, but that attracts them.

“If they go inside the property, then it’s more than likely a problem with your drains.

“When they go into the drains, they eat the human waste and human faeces.”
