Day in the life of us pest controllers. Don't half see some weird stuff.

I’ve seen squirrels do exactly the same. 

Those bite marks on the bin are on the inside. I posted a similar photo acouple of years back. The customer was in the habit of putting those square foil packs of cat food in the bin without washing them. Rat or rats entered the bin to get to the cat food and got shut in. They made a right mess of the bin in their escape. 

I saw the customer the other day when I went to pick our butcher's order up. He still has rats in the house and I still decline to deal with them because he and his wife are too thick to put edible stuff out of reach. You can't help some folk.

That's exactly what I was going to say the rat was in the bin trying to get out. I had exactly the same when I accidentally shut a rat in my shed, lol. It looked like someone had been in there with a wood chipper or loosed a beaver in my shed.

Just before I took this photo a rat stuck its head out of the toilet....I just wasn't quick enough with the camera

The toilet is below a massive town centre shopping arcade. It's in the service area below all the restaurant kitchens. 3 pest control companies haven't been able to get to the bottom of the rat issues through out  the arcade. I sometimes wonder if these people walk around with their eyes shut
