Some pipes in houses are linked to the garbage disposal, which might attract rats looking for food scraps into your toilet. If you are worried about this, you should avoid putting leftover food in the garbage disposal and make sure to throw it away in the trash instead. This will stop rats from going into your pipes. If you are still worried, you can put in a special rat guard.
4. Animals called possums.
Similar to rats, small possums are great swimmers, can hold their breath for a long time, and are flexible enough to move through narrow pipes. Just like with rats, it is important to avoid leaving food scraps in your pipes to prevent possums from getting into them. To clean your toilet pipes effectively, mix together sugar, water, vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap in equal amounts, then pour the mixture down the toilet. Heating water until it bubbles can also be an effective method for thorough cleaning.
5. Serpents
Snakes are well-suited for sliding through narrow pipes and prefer cool, dark, and damp places. Most snakes found in toilet bowls are not very dangerous. However, it is not advisable to try to remove them on your own. If you see a snake in your toilet, the best thing to do is to call pest control to take care of the situation. After someone uses your toilet, clean your pipes thoroughly with a mixture of sugar, water, vinegar, and dish soap to remove any leftover food and prevent clogs.
