Collier County, Naples Rat Control Situation:
Hello David, We are a warehouse in Naples FL. That deals with telecommunications. We have switch room full of wires and supplies for telephones and Internet supplies. We recently started seen Feces on our shop floor; we also have several huge bay doors but we keep no food or anything like that in the warehouse. It looks as though the rat is only staying in the shop we have not found any feces in our offices or upstairs offices. We have put out liquid poison and hard poison like bars, pellets, and etc. I have even gone to the extreme of a trail deer camera and peanut butter to see if we could get a look at this thing leaving feces. I've Google the feces I've found and came up with roof rat we even have broken the feces up and it looks like its eat crickets an Jun bugs . I guess tonight I will try a hotdog and trail camera again to see if I can get a shot of the rat or thing that is leaving feces everywhere.
Hi David, I was cringing reading your site about rats... I fear them the most of all 4 legged creatures! I couldn't even look at the pictures of them. On that note... I'm just starting to smell a foul scent in a certain area of our home, downstairs. My gut tells me its a dead rat somewhere in the walls. To get a second opinion, I asked our gardener to come inside and take a whiff for himself. I didn't tell him what I thought it was, and he immediately said, "it smells like you have a dead rat somewhere in your walls or in the floor." :-( I'm so disgusted by this... Do you travel to Naples in Southern Florida? If not, can you pls recommend someone good to take care of this problem? Thank you so very much for your expertise and time. Its very much appreciated!

Naples Rat Control Tip of The Week
Different Rat Traps That Are Humane
A rat infestation is a big problem for almost every household. If you are having the same issues, you need to understand the fact that you are not alone in this problem. Although, you need to take quick removal actions because the rats won't leave unless you make them.
To help you achieve this, we will be sharing different rat traps that are humane that you can use to remove rats from your home. With the following traps, you won't have to bother about rats causing a nuisance in your home anymore.
Glue Boards
Glue traps are perfect for rats nesting in an enclosed area. These traps are designed with plastic and a semi-solid liquid that is believed to glue rats to its surface when they try to walk on it. To use a glue board, all you need to do is place it along the routes of the rat. The trap will intercept the rat's path and it will be trapped in the process.
The only issue with the use of this trap is that you will have to keep inspecting it from time to time in order to dispatch the rat from the board when it finally is trapped.
Fenn Traps
Fenn traps are designed for use in tunnels. The design of this trap makes it possible for it to trap rats only and prevent interaction with other non-target species. It's a special mechanism that makes it possible to kill the rat humanely by constricting and suffocating it.
Snap Traps
Snap traps are one of the most commonly used rat traps and are most suitable if you want to trap rats in your attic and other places in your home with limited access. It also kills rats instantly and is very effective in removing rats.
