"Emotional because rats often bother me," wrote the account owner in the caption, quoted by brilio.net from @rudolf_menyuke.
Instead of traps or rat poison, this man just smeared used cooking oil on the pipe which is the way in and out of the rats. Using cotton wool, the oil is applied vertically on the surface of the pipe installed towards the roof. He smeared it on the center of the pipe more than three times.

Who knows? In the next moment, it is shown that the cooking oil applied to the pipe succeeded in making the rat slip and not be able to climb the pipe.
The moment when the mouse is exhausted because it slipped is enough to make you grin. It seemed the rat was shocked by the oil trap given by the man. In the end, the rat fell and failed to climb the pipe. He immediately went down to the floor and hid behind the items there.

"There are a lot of rats in the in-laws' house, the in-laws usually put food on the table and only cover the plate for them to eat. Then since I've been here, I put it in a jar and then put it back in the cupboard. The rats seem to have a grudge," said the account @mamaalifa_1.
