Pest Control - Banksus Militus Vandalus is an installation by the British street artist Banksy from 2004. In a framed box, it shows a prepared rat with the utensils of a graffiti sprayer: backpack, flashlight and spray can. On the back wall of the box, the sprayed message “our time will come” (German “our time will come”). Banksy illegally installed the work in the Natural History Museum in London in 2004 . It stayed there for two hours before an employee discovered and removed it. The work was then shown two more times: in 2009 in the Banksy v Bristol Museum exhibition and in 2014 in Sotheby's exhibition Banksy - The Unauthorized Retrospective .
