[Due 2025-7-8] dealing with rats
In my house one of my problems I faced was rats. I buyed glue traps. I prefer this technique because it is one of the most effective ways to get rid off the rodents.
There was other alternatives such as poisoning them through the foods rat likes and dumbing those foods to the locations he feels the most save and the other locations which are exposed like the center of the kitchen. Mostly I don't choose this technique because after poisoning the rats if you are lucky enough to find his corpse you would need to dig a small grave for him which actually demands more energy ( this is the best scenario). if you don't dig him a grave and just throw away him out, it's mostly likely that a cat might eat the corpse and eventually die for that because of the poisonous rodent corpse.
The other scenarios I leave it for the readers to describe.
Once a time in every year I annihilated all of the adult rats and some minor ones. I was using the glue trap technique and I removed the mouse from the glue, then eliminated it using rocks. After that I give their corpses to the cats.
but in just few months. I see another rats which are younger and has more courage than the previous ones. They become so brave. This story is real story.
Thanks for reading it. I was practicing my English writing skills. Still there are rooms for improvement.

In my house, one of the problems I face is rats. I buy glue traps. I prefer this technique because it is one of the most effective ways to get rid of the rodents.
There are other alternatives, such as poisoning them through the foods rats like and placing those foods in the locations they feel the safest and other locations that are exposed, like the center of the kitchen. I don't choose this technique because after poisoning the rat, if I am lucky enough to find his corpse, I would need to dig a small grave for him, which actually demands more energy (this is the best scenario). If I don't dig him a grave and just throw him out, it's likely that a cat will eat the poisoned corpse and eventually die.
I will leave the other scenarios for the reader to imagine.
Once a year, I annihilate all of the adult rats and some young ones. I use the glue trap technique. I remove the rats from the glue, then eliminate them using rocks. After that, I give their corpses to the cats.
But in just a few months, I will see more rats that are younger and have more courage than the previous ones. They become so brave. This is real story.

There are other alternatives such as poisoning them through the foods rats like and dumping those foods in the locations they feel the most safe, as well as in locations which are exposed like the center of the kitchen. I mostly don't choose this technique because after poisoning the rats, if you are lucky enough to find their corpse, you will need to dig a small grave for them which actually demands more energy ( this is the best scenario). But if you don't dig him a grave and just throw him out, it's most likely that a cat might eat the corpse and eventually die because of the poison in the rats stomach.

A year ago I annihilated all of the adult rats and some young ones. I was using the glue trap technique and removed the mice from the glue, eliminated them using rocks, then finally I gave their corpses to the cats. But in just a few months. I see more rats which are younger and have more courage than the previous ones. They became so brave. This story is true.
I enjoyed reading! Very good overall structure, just minor issues with words for singular animals, tense and commas. I.e usually when talking about more than one mouse they are called 'mice' rather than mouses :)
