This video clip from a FOX 13 news broadcast in Seattle was posted roughly a year ago. It featured some tips from King County about what to do when there are rats in one’s toilet.
We then found the corresponding page on the King County website with a comic book-style set of tips for this situation:
What to do if there’s a RAT in the toilet (kingcounty.gov)
We also found another page on the King County website with tips on getting rats out of your toilet and sewer pipes. Here are some snippets from that page:
