Rat Repellent

The best preventive method to keep rats outside of your home is of course the exclusion and clean home. However, this can´t be always possible and that is why an additional Shelton animal control repellent might come in handy. Mankind has had a lot of problems connected to rats. They can be very dangerous regarding some health issues. That is the reason why a repellent which will actually work is quite highly inquired among people. A cheap and effective solution how to get rid of the rats would be a very important breakthrough. But with rats solution is neither quick nor easy.

Store-bought repellents: A people are at war with rats for a very long time, they came up with some impressive Shelton pest control attempts how to repel a rat. For instance:

Sonic devices are the devices you can plug into the electricity and will start to emit a Shelton wildlife removal sonic signal that will drive the rats away. Sound waves should scare away the rat.

Pests will be intimidated or annoyed by the powerful lights and will be forced to leave.

Liquid rat repellent is created to scare the rat and it´s based on a predator´s scent. However, rat knows hoe a predator looks like and only scent won´t be enough.

There are some natural repellents that can be used to distract rats for at least some period of time. Rats don’t like: Mint and peppermint oil, Citronella plants in the garden, Moth balls, Ammonia. The Shelton animal trapping problem with natural repellents is their concentration. For repellent to actually work you must use a great amount of it. Smell is very disturbing for people as well but when a person gets used to the smell, so does the rat.

Last but not least and maybe the one, which might actually do the trick?

Cat represents a real threat to the rat, being its natural predator. Cat is the hunter and rat is its prey.

For centuries people are trying to invent or find the smell that will repel rats to a degree they would leave. Unfortunately, no such thing has been invented so far. Rats have highly developed sense of smell and they simply know the difference between the repellent and where they might some real food. Physical Shelton exterminator barriers are the most efficient repellent among all. The repellent alone won´t stand a chance against a rodent, determined to get some food.
