That would be 4K well spent in my opinion.

We aren't wealthy at all but I have to admit that I'd very seriously consider this.

Same here. I'd put it on a CC if I had to.

This was on the first floor but now I read stories about rats being on the second floor baths too! I will never go to the bathroom in peace again!

I wonder if using those bleach pucks in your tank would help at all to keep them out.

We had this happen to us in a basement toilet in Arlington. Rodent Control suggested flushing the toilet regularly (although you said it was used often). The also had the sewer and water folks put baits in the sewers.

Did it happen once or often?

I wondered the same thing if they are the bleach ones?

Holy crap. OP, spend the $4,000. Or move. I'm dead serious. Do you really want to be worrying about this happening over and over again?

Our neighbors just found a large coiled snake in their finished basement.

How regularly do you think you have to flush a toilet to avoid this stuff?

I would tell you to burn the house down and salt the earth, but you just renovated.

Oh my God, yuck! Sorry, OP!

I posted a few months ago about a big cockroach biting my finger in my bed at 1 am but I think this is worse. Argh. Get that vent screen!
