Horry County, Myrtle Beach Rat Control Situation:
Hi i live in a building in 4th floor, these days have been raining a lot and I saw a rat walking on my window, I was so afraid that it get into my home. These annoyed rats only way to get in my home is the window, I can't seal it! I will suffocate, can u please advise me how can I keep them away. Or is it because outside is raining a lot so it want to come in my home. And do they make cans of that stuff that you fog with? Do I need to get a fog machine? I'm not even sure what a fog machine is. Something that you would use at a party to make fog?
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!
Hello David, My name is Melissa and I manage a 34 unit elderly complex in Myrtle Beach SC. My problem is mice, maybe even something bigger? My units are in 4 buildings with each unit back to back, 1st building has 6 units, 2nd 8, 3rd 12 and 4th 8. My problem is they are in between the walls of the units, my tenants can hear them scratching at night, I do not want to put poison out for fear of the smell that would surely follow that plan. So, my question is what can I do? Some of my tenants have actually caught some mice in traps in the apartments. 6 total. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Myrtle Beach Rat Control Tip of The Week
What Materials Can Rats Chew Through?
A rat problem in the home can be a genuine headache for individuals to manage. Rats can pollute food supplies when they get into kitchens, and they can spread sicknesses to people through bites if they feel threatened. They can destroy furniture and chew through most materials in the house. Rats can bite through nearly anything, and they reproduce quickly within short time frames. This implies one pregnant rat can easily lead to numerous rats. This isn't acceptable because all of the potential health hazards associated with rats, and the harm they can cause to property and belongings can cost you a lot of time and cash.
One of the most striking facts about a rat's teeth is the way their incisors grow constantly! Imagine having a couple of front teeth that keep growing long and strong all through your lifetime. Rats need to chew through a wide range of materials to wear their teeth out. Otherwise, their teeth will grow too long, making it impossible for them to eat or close their mouths, ultimately killing them. So, what exactly do they like to chew through?
