EW, I know this... a mouse apparently died of natural causes in one of our really deep closets, so we didn't know about it until MAGGOTS started coming through a knothole in our wall! It was digusting!

Also, since rats can be cute, too, if you don't want to kill the rat, they have humane traps that just TRAP the rat without killing it. Then you're free to just let it go somewhere away from the house. Same goes with sticky traps, as long as you get the thing off with cooking oil and don't leave it there to die.
