Total Time: 1 minute
Pick Up Blue Request Outside Abandoned Factory
To start, collect the Blue Request Note from the machinery just right of the Merchant outside the Abandoned Factory. This begins the objective to kill 3 rats hiding within the factory interior.
Using the tips and screenshots below, hunt down and eliminate all 3 rodents. Then return to the Merchant to cash in your reward and complete Pest Control.
Rat 1 Location
The first rat lurks in the looping corridor near the exit to the Merchant. Listen for squeaking and watch the floor carefully.
Rat 2 Location
After climbing through the window with shattered glass, look for the second rat scurrying in circles in the next room. Quickly blast it before it hides.
Rat 3 Location
The third and final rat is by the two furnaces in the main factory chamber. It tries fleeing into a corner – cut off its escape!
With all 3 pests exterminated, head back and speak to the Merchant again to wrap up this quick but rewarding Blue Request. Your reward is x3 Spinels that can be used to purchase items not available in the regular store. Thanks to your pest control services, the factory can resume regular operations!
This covers how to complete the Pest Control side objective in RE4 Remake.
