Stratford wildlife control tip of the month:

How to Kill a Rat

Rats represent health danger, disease, fear and filthiness. People have been hunting and killing them for centuries. Therefore, there are many known Stratford animal control methods for killing the rat.

For instance: Poisoning, Snap traps, Glue traps, Shooting and many more.

Your quest how to kill a rat should start somehow. The first Stratford exterminator step you should consider is to find out how the pests come into the house. When you determine where they enter the house you need to seal all entry points and proceed with killing. If you must kill, then use the most humane way possible.

Poisoning the rat is unfortunately one of the bestselling options but at the same time a very painful one. On many occasions the rats survive and the problem remains. However, those rats who ate the poison return to their nest and smell of dissolving carcass lingers in the walls or in your attic. Overall it's not a good solution.

Stratford animal trapping Glue board traps are especially cruel and inhumane way of killing the rat. It holds the rat down until it dies. Why torture the poor animal, if there are ways to end all very quickly. We need to keep in mind that even though we perceive rats as our enemies and as nuisances that needs to be exterminated, they are still living beings and deserve to die humanely.

Lethal snap trap; If there is no other possibility except killing, humane and instant kill is the most effective Stratford wildlife removal way. Old fashioned wooden snap traps are the most acceptable option. This trap has proven to be the quickest option how to eliminate the rat. This is with no doubt the best trap to use. When setting the rat traps, location is of the highest importance. Traps have to be set on a flat, solid surface. These traps can be placed directly on the rat´s path of movement, where the rat passes frequently. The better the location, more likely possibility, something will be caught. The trap can be set to a very sensitive level that enables prompt and instant execution.

Shooting as one of the Stratford pest control possibilities how to kill a rat is highly ineffective, while never live alone and killing just one rat doesn´t solve anything. The remains of the rat should be properly disposed, never forget to take care of the carcasses. The correct way of disposing is placing the carcass within a double layer of bin liners.
