ask to your neighbor to take that rat off!!

and if you don't have a neighbor or he can't do it...

ask to someone else!!

cause a death rat can be dangerous cause of the deases!!

so be very fast!

Move it for her... geez, it's only a rat! Take a shovel and do it. Throw it in the trash etc. Then you won't even have to touch it.

Buy a dog poo pick up thing or get a shovel, pick it up and either bury it (it's good for the garden) or toss it in the garbage.

I'm not sure if there's anyone you can call, but you could get a shovel, so your not anywhere near it. or put gloves on and just throw it in the garbage. handle it with something that wont make the rat actuallt touch your hands and throw it out.

rubber gloves and a wheely bin thats all you need.

I guess you could try ringing the council refuse collection (look in the front of the yellow pages for yours) but then do you honestly think they'll do anything different?

Move it out of your yard and have something eat it there

I don't know what to say about removing the rat, I doubt that an exterminator would do it unless he also had some other job that he was also called to do. My idea is to call exterminator and ask him to come check out your house for any rats (usually rats tend to come in numbers, so there is a small chance that that on dead rat on your front garden could be part of a whole colony of rats somewhere in your house) and while he is there also ask him to please remove the dead rat!

Move it before it stinks the place up, you could get plague ifyou dont, cos all of the fleas will be looking for a new host.
