Mobile County, Mobile Rat Control Situation:
Hi, I recently went to the bathroom at night and a huge rat ran into the wall heater.how can I can trap these rats because I know where there's one there's more. The wall Heater is the living room so I can't set traps there. Also I have yet to find any droppings or ruined food. Please help me before this rat problem gets bigger. I have a really small house that used to be a garage more than 20 years ago. Thanks in advance. Laura F
Do you live in Mobile AL? If so, we can help you. The key is to find out how they are getting inside the building, from the outside. Are you available for an appointment tomorrow?
Mouse in my basement. He climbs right up to a high table and comes close to me and my dog...and the cat hasn't caught it. I am quite bad with this so ran away and put towels at the basement door so he may not get upstairs and also wooden pictures to deter him..not sure any will help. If I make enough noise will he leave wherever he came from? Please help, Jaime
Noise will not make it leave.
I read your article and I had someone pound my gable ends in because of some gaps, but I am still getting mice in my attic. I use snap traps. I don't know where they are getting in. Should I seal with spray foam maybe at the corners of cable ends? Kinda at a lost right now. Thanks Jacque
Hello, we had mice in the house. The cats caught a few but I heard one in my bedroom ceiling. I can't see killing it so I purchased a humane trap. Well I caught one last night. The problem is where the heck to take it to set it free? I want to make sure it's safe after going to the trouble of not killing it. What kind of environment would be best, other than my home full of snacks for it? I live in Mobile, AL. Thank you, I would appreciate some advice. I got your email from your website. Than you again, Ken

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.
