Lehigh County, Allentown Rat Control Situation:
Hey! Found your website and I'm hoping you can help with something! I work in the Downtown Eastside of Bethlehem PA for an outreach organization that operates single old hotels (single room occupancy) to help severely mentally ill and addicted persons get services and get off the street. I often work nightshift in different hotels, and some of them have worse rat problems than others... Sometimes I am working alone and cannot leave the office area, and a few places have so many rats that they crawl across the floor while you're working in there. I'm not able to leave, I have nobody to help me, and I just want the rats to stay away from me while I'm working! I know they get Bethlehem PA Pest Control in these buildings all the time, but unfortunately they cannot get into all of the rooms without the resident's permission! So sealing up all the entry points is sometimes impossible. This is also a frustration with bedbugs and roaches... Anyway, I am hoping there's something I can get that would keep them away from me on nightshift when there is nothing I can do about getting an exterminator in Allentown or Bethlehem or Easton. I'm also working alone with no safety equipment, so I don't want to be disposing of dead rats in traps :( Do strobe lights help for this kind of thing or is it a waste of money? I was thinking one may help keep them out of the space I'm occupying just for the time I'm there? Your help is SUPER appreciated! Thank you so much!!

What Is The Fastest Way To Get Rid Of Rats?
Rats are not animals anyone should have in their homes. These rodents can wreak havoc on your beautiful home when allowed to breed and multiply. If you are lucky enough to realize you have a rat problem quickly, the best thing you can do is to look for the fastest way to get rid of them before they begin to increase in number to something beyond what you can contain.
When it comes to the fastest way to get rid of rats, snap traps are considered one of the fastest. This might seem like a very old method of getting rid of rats, but the fact is that it still works better than many of the newly designed rat removal methods out there.
A snap trap is a trap with a wooden platform and a spring-loaded bar that snaps immediately a rat comes in contact with the bait that was placed on it. In the process of trying to nibble or steal the bait from the trap, it will get caught by the neck and killed immediately.
One of the major reasons why snap traps are considered the fastest way to get rid of rat is that when it traps a rat, it can be reused immediately. Provided you have a good bait in place that can help you to attract rats to the snap trap, you will also be able to trap rats and remove them from your home without wasting too much time.
Also, snap traps are humane, affordable, and easy to use.
