Maybe they built a nest in there? Spray the A/C down with some atomized bleach water or lysol or something, maybe that will help.

I'm going to take the a/c apart tomorrow. It's one of the higher end models which allow you to take it out of its casing to clean, I guess. I'm hoping there isn't any feces or urine stuck all over the place. I'm going to be very upset if there is. Well that and I'm going to find this rat and put him out of his misery.

It eventually got free and ran away into the corner. I'm going to the store when my gf gets home to buy some mouse traps. We're getting rid of this guy for sure. He took his last draw going into my a/c unit like that.

Sluggo, I am telling the truth. This is not a work of fiction. It is not my problem that they've decided to make parady threads.

Most parody threads I have seen so quickly ever. Nice topic :p Gotta admit it is pretty funny.

I say let him go free. :) maybe even put out a bit of cheese for him to eat, as a token of good will

And let him go back into my a/c unit and crap and piss all over the thing again? No freaking way. If I'm going to let him live I'm going to have to find some sort of cover that I can cover the vent with while I'm gone.

What, so you don't think he and his buddies crap and piss in other areas of your house as well?

If that mouse has only done it in your AC, you've got some miracle rodent there.

Use one of those mouse traps that doesn't kill the mouse. Just think how you would feel if you were just looking for a place to sleep, and someone flipped a switch that made an earth shaking, universe ending noise, then killed you with a piece of cheese and bondage equipment?
