Maricopa County, Phoenix Rat Control Situation:
Good evening! we have a home in downtown Phoenix that is experiencing some rat problems. Three years ago I purchased our home. It had been vacant and the attic had been infested with rats. We were successful in eradication and repairing the points of entry. However, I'm concerned about the feces that's were left behind. I rarely access the attic but it is something I would like to resolve. I have read your website and found that you offer a decontamination and or feces removal services. I am interested in learning the cost range of your services. we are able to trap and get rid of them but our bigger concern is the amount of droppings and urine that seem to be everywhere. We have blown insulation and i feel like we might need to look at a complete removal of the insulation. If that is done we are capable of putting in new insulation but feel the removal might be a little out of our scope. Can you please call me so we can discuss the issues and make a plan of action to include getting ideas and prices. we would like to get this done pretty quickly so your quick response is greatly appreciated! thank you!!
I need some advice on how to get rid of rats that are in my dog kennels. I have 10 beagles and the rats are burrowing under the kennels and the dog houses. I have tried snap traps outside of the kennels but that only catches a few. I need a way to get rid of the rats for good without harming the dogs. The dogs keep digging holes trying to get to the rats which is causing a problem and if I use poison the dogs will eat the dead rats and that would not be a good thing. I need to find a way to fix this problem for good. Please give me some kind of solution to try, I am looking for anything. Thanks
My response: That's a tough case. I'd use snap traps enclosed in plastic boxes, like Snap-E trap in the Protecta box.
Phoenix Rat Control Tip of The Week
Why Don't High Pitch Sound Deterrent Machines And Strobing Lights Work Against Rats?
The first thing you need to understand about high pitch sound deterrent machines and strobing lights is that these machines have been officially announced as being fraudulent by the Federal Trade Commission. This is enough proof that the efficiency of these repelling devices is self-proclaimed and that they don't have anything to offer when it comes to repelling rats from your home.
Have you been wondering why these devices don't work against rats? Right here, we will be sharing all you need to know about them and why you should consider other means of getting rid of the rats in your home.
High pitch sound deterrent machines or strobing lights that are designed to repel rats using mechanical means. The former uses high pitch sounds that don't affect humans and is not audible to the human hearing to irritate the eardrums of small animals like rats and make them stay away from the areas the sound is coming from. While the latter is designed using a short wavelength of light rays to scare rats away in the night whenever they try to move around.
These devices might seem like a perfect way to repel rats, but the fact is that neither of these devices work. Rats are smart animals and can easily figure out if something poses a serious threat to them or not. Once they figure out that it doesn't, they will continue with their activities and withstand the effects caused by these devices.
Having shared this, you must consider other ways of getting rid of these rats in other to avoid wasting your hard-earned money. Neither of these devices will give you the results that you desire.
