Richland County, Columbia Rat Control Situation:
David I recently cleaned up after a mouse along with disposing of the rat poison and i'd like to know how easily can a disease be contracted from their feces/ urine ? & can I be poisoned by breathing in the rat poison? I'm very concerned bc I have a very weak immune system and when I was cleaning out my cabinets everything was on my hands directly ' when I wasn't washing them ' then a cloud of feces And rat posion went up n my face so thank you for the information and help. And do you know if decon pellets will cause mice to dry up , not smell and virtually turn to powder after dying?
Came across your website whilst trying to find a solution to a rat problem in my house. We have rats coming into the house, we don't know how they are getting in, will a rat come into your house, up your guttering and under the tiles? also, would a rat eat threw a felted flat roof, as we have put a tiled roof over our flat roof, which leaves an area underneath where rats could travel along. That is the only way the rats could be getting into the house.
Hi David, I found your page about rats traped in the wall. for exactly a week now we have a rat (I assume cause it is loud) or mouse trapped in the bedroom wall. It is always up at night scratching the wall inside the same wall. We currently rent our house and they sent pest control. All they did is set up traps around the house and in the attic. They said that there are tunnels going through that wall but it is really hard to see or get to it ?! I asked them if they can throw poison down those tunnels but i dont think they did. They said that they will not cut a whole in the wall especially because it is not a drywall (it is the house wall) and that it has to die like that. I am so terrified and cant sleep here anymore. I am afraid of them chewing through the wall while im asleep. What do you suggest I should do? How long does it take for them to die or chew through the wall? HELP!
Columbia Rat Control Tip of The Week
Why Don't High Pitch Sound Deterrent Machines And Strobing Lights Work Against Rats?
The first thing you need to understand about high pitch sound deterrent machines and strobing lights is that these machines have been officially announced as being fraudulent by the Federal Trade Commission. This is enough proof that the efficiency of these repelling devices is self-proclaimed and that they don't have anything to offer when it comes to repelling rats from your home.
Have you been wondering why these devices don't work against rats? Right here, we will be sharing all you need to know about them and why you should consider other means of getting rid of the rats in your home.
High pitch sound deterrent machines or strobing lights that are designed to repel rats using mechanical means. The former uses high pitch sounds that don't affect humans and is not audible to the human hearing to irritate the eardrums of small animals like rats and make them stay away from the areas the sound is coming from. While the latter is designed using a short wavelength of light rays to scare rats away in the night whenever they try to move around.
These devices might seem like a perfect way to repel rats, but the fact is that neither of these devices work. Rats are smart animals and can easily figure out if something poses a serious threat to them or not. Once they figure out that it doesn't, they will continue with their activities and withstand the effects caused by these devices.
Having shared this, you must consider other ways of getting rid of these rats in other to avoid wasting your hard-earned money. Neither of these devices will give you the results that you desire.
