Recommended Rat Control Solutions

Trapping the Common Rat

No one wants to have Rats in their house.  If you should find that you have rats, be exceptionally careful to leave no food uncovered and get rid of garbage daily until the problem is taken care of. A word about poisons; I do not recommend poisons for two reasons; 1. Your pet/child safety and 2. Even if the rat eats the poison he is going to end up dying somewhere in your wall and stinking.

It is important that once you rid your house of rats to make sure to seal off any ways they were entering your house and to keep garbage away.  Unfortunately, sometimes there may be little you can do if your city or neighborhood has a problem with rats as they can always find there way back in. Just keep trapping the few that come in and let their breeding ground be somewhere else.

Above you will find the rat control products to trap and repel rats from your house, barn or buildings.  If you have Pets and / or Children in your home we recommend using the live catch and sonic pest chasers.  The snap traps can snap pets and children, while the glue boards and glue trays can stick to pets and children.  If no children or pets are in your home the glue products and snap traps are very effective rat control.

If the rats are stealing your bait.  Sometimes, tying a piece of cereal or pet food smeared with peanut butter to the bait pan with thread or fishing line will work great. Other good baits would be cheese or a small piece of raw bacon.  The raw bacon and cheese tend to stick to the pan making it harder for the rat to take without setting the trap off.

Also, remember when setting your rat traps, to set in dark out of the way places such as behind refrigerator, stove, cabinets, laundry rooms, pet food area, basements and attics.
