This unbelievable plan to get rid of a rat actually worked

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to get a rat out of your home without killing it – look no further.

Jody Mackin posted a video to Twitter of her and her two housemates’ genius plan to get rid of a rat that had made itself home in her bathroom.

She tweeted:

We came up with this ridiculous plan to get this rat out of our house and IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! BYE B****

Mackin and her friends positioned themselves so they could guide the furry intruder down the stairs and out of the door with mops.

The rat did take a bit of a tumble down the stairs, but he runs off very quickly, apparently unscathed.

Being hit with a mop probably helped.

Prepare to be amazed.
