How to get rid of rats? The topic is important, albeit unpleasant. If rodents are found in the house, do not panic. You can get rid of pests reliably and quickly: the main thing is to react in time to their appearance.

rats in the house
Rats are omnivorous mammals belonging to the mouse family, whose lifestyle is directly related to humans and their homes.

Do-it-yourself rat poison

The main advantage of poisons for rats is the rapid elimination, thanks to them, of a large number of individuals of dangerous mammals.

Poisonous baits for rats are of two types:

  • prolonged exposure;
  • fast acting.
rat poison
Physically strong, fast, adaptable well, not picky about food, rapidly breeding animal is able to fight back even a person.

In many situations it is better to use poisons of the first type: in this case, all the pies will begin to peck at the baits, because they will make sure that nothing has done the main "taster" any harm.

A fast-acting poison is good to use if the rat is wound up alone.

If we are talking about a poison of prolonged exposure, then after being placed around the house, it acts autonomously. It is required to check the portions from time to time, if necessary - as the rats eat - add the "treat".

How is everything done in practice? For example, if six rats have settled in a dwelling, then eating poisonous food at night, they must die at the same time.

rat poison
The most effective folk remedies for fighting rats at home are the result of centuries of observation of the habits, behavior and way of life of these rodents.

On the 3rd - 4th day after the rodent has tried the poisonous bait for the first time, it dies. These mammals are not able to distinguish the presence of poisonous substances in a treat by smell. Before receiving a lethal dose, the rat does not feel the signs of poisoning. Therefore, pests do not develop alertness towards such baits, there is no need to avoid treats, and the animals are quite actively poisoned.

After seven to ten days, there will be no domestic pests in the dwelling.

IMPORTANT! They spread poisons in those locations where pests are most likely to find them.

For self-preparation of poison for rats, you should take:

  • alabaster;
  • water;
  • flour.

Plaster of Paris together with flour (1: 1) is poured into a container. A bowl filled with water is placed near it. Having "treated" with the mixture from the container, the animal will wash down its "food". Soon, almost cement forms in the stomach, and the animal will have terrible indigestion.

gypsum and flour
Plaster of paris and corn flour (in equal proportions) are thoroughly mixed and laid out in the places most visited by rats, a bowl of water is placed next to it.

Another popular recipe. For rats, a bait made from the following ingredients is left: ¼ glass of sugar and soda, 150 g of flour is taken. Everything mixes up. Having tasted the "food", the animal will be poisoned, since a dangerous gas will begin to be produced in its stomach.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! You can poison harmful animals in such a way as to cause oxygen starvation in them, and they run away from home.

sugar soda flour
In the stomach of a rat, soda interacts with hydrochloric acid, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide.

Often, rat passages in private homes are moistened with denatured alcohol, kerosene, vinegar (as an option, they are plugged with rags, which are moistened with a liquid harmful to the rodent).

Making traps

Traps are great for methodically controlling rats in your home. At the same time, using traps along with baits, rodent fishing can be carried out in almost any room.

traps
Placed traps and traps work for sure, which should lead to the rapid destruction of rodents.

Making such stations for catching animals is available from improvised means. Thus, the solution to the problem - getting rid of the rats - will not hit your pocket hard.

NOTE! Often, self-made traps work just as well as industrial-scale options.

rat trap
Having decided to fight rats in physical ways in a private house, it is necessary to carefully study their paths of movement in order to place traps and rat traps in the places most frequently visited by rats.

So, in the conditions of a house (apartment) it is easy to make a very effective live trap. You will need:

  • deep capacity;
  • 2 - 3 strips;
  • thick wire.

What is the task? A tilting bridge is made from one plank and wire. A bait is placed on the edge of the walkway, placed on a prepared container. Further, an impromptu staircase is made to the structure. Along it, the animal will climb to the edge of the container. Only the rat will try to approach the "delicacy", the bridge will overturn, and the rodent will fall into the container.

bottle trap
Foods that will arouse interest in rodents are placed in the rat trap: smoked meat, cheese, sausage.

It is useful to do the following two things in a given device:

  • water is poured into the container (the rat should not be able to jump out, pushing off the bottom);
  • the bait is attached to the bridge (after the rat falls into the container, the structure will be able to catch the animals again, returning to its original position).

There is a fairly common version of glue traps.

glue trap
Approaching the bait, the animal is literally glued and is no longer able to free itself.

Such traps are made of plastic or cardboard. Pest glue is applied to the surface of the material.

NOTE! Traps are not a suitable option in such situations when the task is to remove many mice or rats at once, and do it as quickly as possible. In this case, poisons for rodents can come to the rescue.

Ultrasonic Repeller

This method of struggle is good as follows: thanks to the repeller that acts on the rats with ultrasound, you can get rid of them in the house without killing them. In this case, there is no need to contact them at all. The device generates high-frequency sounds, rats begin to feel discomfort, and therefore try to leave their favorite home.

ultrasonic rat repeller
In everyday life, electronic and ultrasonic scarers of rats and mice have been used for a long time.

But a person cannot hear ultrasonic signals (his ears simply cannot distinguish them). This means that how the device works in a home environment is almost invisible to people.

As for harmful animals, the noises generated by the repeller affect their nervous system. This acts so strongly that the rats lose their ability to feed, begin to isolate themselves from each other, and stop communicating. And in the end, their death comes.

The main problem when choosing an ultrasonic repeller for rats and mice is the inability of an ordinary person to check the characteristics declared by the manufacturer.

Deterrent devices are available in different configurations and sizes. According to the recommendations of the instructions, an independent adjustment of the type of sound, its intensity is available.

For preventive purposes, after the rodents leave, it is necessary to turn on the repeller twice a week.

IMPORTANT! It should be borne in mind: the effect of ultrasonic repellers lies in the fact that with their help it is possible to protect against domestic pests in a confined space, mainly within the same room.
