Orlando Rat ControlHow To Solve Problems With Rats & Mice
|

Rat-Proof Construction. The most successful and permanent form of
rat control is to "build them out" by making their access to structures
impossible. Ideally, all places where food is stored, processed or used
should be rodent-proof. Store bulk foods, bird seed and dry pet food in
metal cans with tight-fitting lids. Seal any openings larger than 1/4 inch to exclude both rats and mice. Openings where utility conduits enter buildings should be sealed tightly with metal or concrete. Equip floor drains and sewer pipes with tightfitting grates having openings less than 1/4 inch in diameter. Doors, windows and screens should fit tightly. It may be necessary to cover edges with sheet metal to prevent gnawing.

Incredible Cunning. Another way to kill rats is to
return to the old poisons. With an almost incredible cunning, though,
some rats have learned to let one member of the pack taste the bait. If
he dies immediately, the food is ignored.
"We aren't exactly alarmed—the Ministry of
Agriculture is never alarmed —but we are working very hard to find an
alternative to warfarin," says a British government official. Even so,
the rats have a final defense that has made a fool of man since the
combat began. The average female produces up to twelve litters a year,
and in each litter are ten ravenous young rats. |
