You are so brave! I found a dead roach this morning as well, immediately called for pest control.

You should've seen my Dad's face when I walked in to show him! If it was half gone on poison (didn't move when it saw me) there is no way I can let it loose. It's currently trapped in a metal bread bin awaiting a friend to come and dispose of it.

Sorry if it offends you Knower of nothing but wild rats have no place being in a human domestic environment. They are a serious heath hazard.

Rat has now been euthanised and disposed of. For those that think I should've let it go; it was sick. If it was poisoned; indirect neighbour has two new puppies. Next door has a cat and there are more dogs and cats with others. We also get birds of prey flying over.
