I used a similar 'burning down the entire forest to get rid of one sick tree'. But I like the imagery of the rat and the burning house. Instead of setting traps and getting rid of them, they go hysterical and burn it all to the ground. They burn the entire neighborhood to the ground over a single rat in a single house.
