Erie County, Buffalo Rat Control Situation:
I absolutely love your site. I recently cleaned my garage and found piles and piles of mouse poop and did exactly what you said not to do....poison. I also have a little guest house on the farm that has evidence of gnawing right into the foundation on a porch and of poop in the closets. I can also hear noises in the attic when over there at night. I feel like they are everywhere! I find the occasional poop in the house inside a drawer and then when I put out poison we find a dead one and until reading your sire we thought it was over for the moment. Now I am totally freaked out! My question is what size Victor traps for house mice and do you have a suggestion for ordering in bulk since I am working on multiple locations now. I do need to find someone handy to seal up entry points first. Where are you located and do you know anyone good in Maryland? If not I am prepared to roll up my sleeves and learn..... Thanks for your help.
I have house mice in my attic, garage and outdoors by potted plants. I have trapped and killed all in the garage but I still have them in the attic. I looked at your directory and there seems to be no one in las Vegas who specializes in this that you recommend. I have a pest control service but as you stated, they do not do a proper job. Can you recommend anyone to check to house an seal up entry points and eliminate the mice for good. Your response will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Marko

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.
