Hillsborough County, Manchester Rat Control Situation:
Hello, I have problems with a feral cat and an opossum and a bear in my yard in Manchester CT. And I would like some advice about who I should call, because I have dealt with two companies in the area already who charge a lot of money and do not actually get rid of the problem. Two years ago, I paid a company to remove a flying squirrel who had gone down our chimney and was popping up in the house. They told me to have trees cut down around the house, which I did, which was also very expensive! They removed one of the squirrels in the area, but I know that there are still flying squirrels here as I can hear them at night running up the telephone wires and running across the roof. Last year, I paid a wildlife company to trap some squirrels on the roof who were damaging the chimney. Although they removed a mother and two baby squirrels, they were unable to catch the other two squirrels who continue to run around the roof. Please, could you recommend a reputable company who could help me with these animals, as I am tired of paying companies who don't actually help and don't return your money.
Manchester Rat Control Tip of The Week
Why Do Pest Control Companies Do A Bad Job With Poisons When It Comes To Removing Rats?
Aside from not being able to get all the rats, there are many reasons why we don't feel satisfied when a pest control company uses poison in removing rats. At times, things end up worse than they were, with other issues coming up. Using poison on rats brings about more jobs for you as a homeowner.
Think of the poisoned rats that die in the open - what happened to them? The poisons used by pest control companies lead to massive internal bleeding. The affected rodents often end up bleeding out and dying anywhere the poison takes full effect. Imagine getting rid of the rat, and later having to deal with a bloody rat lying on your kitchen counter or your carpet?
This makes you feel like the pest control company has done an incomplete job. You will be forced to put on your gloves, grab a collection tool, and a plastic bag to collect the dead rats.
Aside from that, there might be some blood splotches to clean up. This needs to be done properly, as they pose a health risk to the household. After going through all this, you are faced with the problem of how to safely get rid of the bag - having a dead and decaying rat in your dumpster may bring other kinds of pests. You end the rat infestation with poison only to start a different problem with different pests.
Aside from the stress that comes with cleaning up after a dead rat, what happens if the rat does not eat the pest control company's poison? They can't force the rats to eat it.
When the rats do not eat these poisons, it can harm anything else that comes in contact with it including, children, pets, and other wildlife creatures.
Using rat poison as a method to remove rats leaves you wondering, is such a precarious pest control method worth it?
