Rat Control

If you need rat control

In order to deal with an existing rat problem, it is important to make sure to find and remove their feeding, drinking and washing places. Pet food is very attractive to rodents and should be stored in tightly closed containers. All human food should also be kept away from rats. Any standing water or moisture leaks should be eliminated. Garbage must be removed from properties and sanitation must be strictly enforced. All wood and other rodent-friendly habitats should be removed.

The store sells a lot of traps and possible rodenticides (poisons). However, since rats tend to avoid new objects, it is definitely recommended to call in a professional rat control expert. He knows and has experience how to get rid of rats better and faster. Click here to find more information about rodents and their potential harm.

Poisons for rats

The effectiveness of any rat food depends on the environment in which it is used. Rats avoid new objects, so traps take time to be successful. Traps are more effective if you use some rat-attractive bait with them. Since rats are wandering foragers, they do best with regular food. Meat and fish are one of the favorites of rats. Still, it’s best to use food baits that won’t go bad in hard-to-reach places. Peanut butter should not be used as it causes allergies in some people (smell). Another potential attractant is nesting material such as strings, yarns and insulation material.

Rodenticides (or poisons) are intended to destroy rats, not to catch them. These poisons can be dangerous to humans, as well as pets and others who come into contact with them. Enclosed feed houses are available to prevent poisons from being available to children and animals.

Rat control

It is recommended that you contact a pest control professional before using any poison in or around your home. Solid pest identification processes should be carried out before any self-initiation, as each pest has its own control method. Insecto’s rat control professionals have been trained to identify pests and determine them and to implement the corresponding effective measures to get rid of rats.
