METHOD  1.  Preventative  measures  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Keeping  the  house  clean,  blocking  up  holes,  keeping  food  securely  contained,  and  using  sonic  rat  repellent  devices  can  help  deter  rats.  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Rats  can  swim  through  sewage  pipes  into  domestic  toilet  bowls.  Fitting  a  one  way  rat  valve  or  flap  in  the  drain  can  stop  this  happening.  

 

METHOD  2.  Using  rat  bait  boxes  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Live  bait  boxes  are  the  most  humane  method,  allowing  you  to  set  them  free  outside.  Rat  boxes  can  be  baited  with  food  like  peanut  butter.  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Poison  bait  boxes  means  the  dead  rat  is  hygienically  contained  &  disposed  of.  Poison  bait  can  be  purchased  from  a  pest  supply  company.    

 

 

 

METHOD  3.  Setting  rat  kill  traps  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Snap  traps  are  a  quick  and  efficient,  clean  kill  with  minimal  suffering,  but  the  powerful  spring  may  be  unsafe  around  children  &  pets.    

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Glue  traps  are  safer  for  the  family,  but  cause  the  most  distress  and  a  lingering  death  for  the  rat.  Not  the  best  choice  for  animal  welfare.

METHOD  4.  Getting  an  animal  helper  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Cats  will  kill  or  frighten  off  rats,  although  cats  do  not  usually  go  into  lofts  and  attics  where  rats  might  live  and  cause  damage.    

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Terriers  dogs  can  be  very  efficient  at  rat  catching  when  their  skills  are  combined  with  devices  for  smoking  rats  out  of  hiding.  

 

METHOD  5.  Hiring  a  pest  control  firm  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Rats  are  really  very  hard  to  get  rid  of,  so  don't  feel  too  defeated  if  these  methods  to  control  them  do  not  work  well  for  you.    

-­‐-­‐-­‐  A  professional  rat  control  company  has  experience.  They  will  put  strategies  in  place  that  give  effective  long  term  results.
