I thought to myself that she was just over exaggerating and told her not to worry until I got home, he said.
When he returned he discovered his wife Signe, 39, had banned their children from the kitchen and their pet cat had been attacked by the monster rat.
Bengtsson-Korsås soon realised the job was too big to tackle alone and called in pest control.
And this is where the tale gets truly terrifying
The rat was apparently so huge that despite being caught in a spring-loaded trap, it would not die and continued to run around the kitchen with the trap around its neck.

I'd burn the place down and move across the country.

That sounds bigger than the one I saw.
