Rat in the bedroom

Could you put some food out in the room overnight; at least that way you'll know if the rat is still there.

I would lend you my terrier, but she's never caught anything her entire life, and is fifteen years old now.
I wouldn't sleep in a room with a rat. I'd sleep on the sofa in the living room if I had to.
Are you sure the cat left it in your bedroom?

Oh dear - there are many things I would do, but sleeping in a room with a rat on the loose is not one of them. Do you know anyone who has a terrier they can lend you for half an hour?

A cat brought it in some time ago. I saw it in the cat's mouth. It was either a small rat or a very large mouse. The cats have lost interest. DS cannot find it despite spending quite a lot of time barricaded in there moving things. DH cannot see it. It is in our bedroom. I cannot sleep in a room with a rat. DH is not worried about sleeping in the room. hmm

Shall I - a) sleep in a hotel b) get taxi to mother's c) cheaper option required......

Additional information - there's a bed in a room downstairs but it's covered with all the clutter we've been meaning to sort...... also not sure if can animal-proof that door.
