Earth-Friendly Methods Of Rat Extermination
By Jude Martins | July 3, 2010
A sly rat is one that is hard to catch, and one that can form an entire empire of rats right under your nose. A rat is a house pest that can ruin a lot of things. Among its favourite nibbles are your precious possessions: expensive garments, the wirings of your home theatre system, or that newly imported Persian carpet. Pest control companies employ tried-and-tested methods to deal with a sly rat.
One of these methods is creating compost. This is basically dug out in an area where you want to lead and do away with the rats. You can pile your compost using waste food and other biodegradable materials that rats usually take. Make sure to keep the compost far enough for the rat to find its way back to the house.
The problem with composting is that a swarm of rats can still get out of it, leaving you with no other move but to use other methods which are not as sanitary or efficient. Cats released to chase after rats may just leave their droppings anywhere in the house. This adds to the problem. So what then will you do to your over-filling compost?
This is where professional pest control companies step in. Periodically or just when you see that the compost is populated, you can pay the service of an expert rat exterminator to do the job. In keeping with your desire of being environment-friendly, many rat control companies are certified to use environmentally safe chemicals in pest extermination. This also goes for mosquito, cockroach, and other pests.
You can also try to do the bucket trap. Surround your compost with buckets, with each bucket containing bait. A rat, attracted to the bait, will easily make its way into the bucket but will hardly make its way out. The bucket method can work for as many rats possible. After a rat gets trapped, it is then up to you to find a way to get rid of it. The bucket strategy can work for a rat; a different approach will be required for a mosquito or cockroach.
