Middlesex County, Lowell Rat Control Situation:
I've been dealing with rats for about 2 years now. We have a crawl Space and it seems as though no matter what we do we just don't have any luck. The rats are burrowing in under the house and no matter what we close off or seal they just dig. I now have an empty house next door to me (with a crawl space and it's gotten really bad) they are now commuting to my house. We've had poison and every other lame attempt to kill the rodents but with a crawl space it's hard to catch and seal off everything. As of 2 days ago I started hearing scratching along the floor in one particular area and it's driving me insane. I feel dirty and scared all at the same time. Can you please recommend someone in my area? Everyone is scared to crawl under my house including my husband. We're very clean people, we do have a house cat but no dogs. I'm in Lowell MA and I am getting so desperate.
Hello my names Vanessa I think I have a rat living under my tub we've heard it chewing on everything in the sub floor we put a wooden trap in my vents where I seen it and it carried the trap off I called a pest control place today that told me to try glue traps and bar bait I really don't know what to do so any insight would be greatly appreciated Can you advise which is the best way to get rid of rats (well we think hey are rats in our attic) the environmental health people just keep coming out and putting poison down, but it doesn't seem to make any difference and infact makes the noise even worse.
Lowell 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.
