Bibb County, Macon Rat Control Situation:
Hi David, I'm trying to catch/kill a rat in my garage. I've set 3 snap traps and he has "snapped" all three of them but still got away. I did notice some blood on the 3rd snap trap but that's it. How do you think he got away from all 3? Is he too big for the traps to be effective? or was his head just not in the right place when the trap snapped? I placed them all along walls with the bait close to the wall. I've reset all my traps but so far he appears scared to go towards any of them. Any ideas?
Hi - I live in Manufactured house in a heavy wooded area. I am not sure if I have mice or rats, but I do have problems occasionally and too late already used poison. Can you tell me the average charge to hire someone and also where we might look for opening in manufactured house as there is no attic and only a crawl space underneath the house. I am terrified of these critters and do not want them in my house. Will they be attracted bu rawhide and such types of dog bones? As I have two dogs and it is hard to keep track of there chew stuff they like to hide. Thanks for any advice you can spare.

How Can I Get Rid Of Rats Outside My House?
Having rats outside your house disturbing your peace is indeed a big deal. Apart from being a nuisance outside your house by creating burrows in your yard or lawn, it's just a matter of time before they find their way into your home. This simply means getting rid of the rats outside your house is as important as getting rid of those in your house.
Have you been looking for the best way to do this in order to keep your environment free from rats? Right here, we will be taking you through some of the most effective and humane ways to get rid of the rats outside your house.
1. Traps
The use of traps in getting rid of rats is a method many people are quite familiar with. To use this method, all you have to do is to buy a trap from a store, bait it, and set them around the places where the rats frequent the most. Before setting this trap, make sure your pets are locked up in a compartment or restricted from moving around your yard to avoid injuring your pets instead of the rats.
2. Smoke Bombs
If the rats have successfully created numerous burrows around your house, using smoke bombs is the best way to get rid of them. To use this particular removal method, all you have to do is release the smoke bombs into all of their burrows. It is very effective, but you need to avoid using it on burrows that are close to trees and other flammable structures in order to avoid fire hazards.
3. Use Dry Ice
This particular removal method is the best option if you are in an urban area. Dry ice is a solid that releases carbon dioxide when dropped into the burrows of rats. When the dry ice is released, the carbon dioxide anesthetizes the rats and kills them. This particular method is very quick and humane.
