What electronic repeller of rats and mice to choose from the variety that the market offers today: ultrasonic, electromagnetic, magnetic resonance, or maybe some else? And even if we dwell on a certain type of apparatus, what particular model should I prefer? After all, there are dozens of them, and it is not immediately clear which device is better and more efficient. In reality, rats and mice can be bred only by repellers of a single type, and among them there are only a few models that have proven their effectiveness in practice. And all the others, alas, are often just beautiful trinkets. Let's see which repellers actually help get rid of rats, and which ones are not suitable for this purpose at all ...
It has long been noticed among the people that rats are afraid (can not stand) of certain smells and sounds and try to leave those places that seem dangerous and uncomfortable to them. With this in mind, it might seem that scaring off rats is much easier than trying to catch them with rat traps or destroy them with poison. However, how effective is the use of various deterrents in real conditions - in houses, apartments, basements? What remedies actually drive the rats, and which in most cases do not give any result? Let's figure it out ...
As practice shows, getting rid of rats in a private house is sometimes not so simple - these creatures are very smart and often bypass traps, and can also ignore poison if it seems suspicious to them. Well, let's look at a number of effective methods and tools that really allow you to reliably get rid of rats in the house (and mice, by the way, too) - and, as you will see later, significant financial investments are not always required for a successful fight ...
Choosing an effective ultrasonic repeller for mice and rats to an unprepared person can be quite difficult. The market today is filled with devices of very mediocre quality (including absolutely ineffective “dummies”), but really working devices are simply lost among all this diversity. Let's look at the basic rules for choosing such devices, as well as a list of those ultrasonic repellers whose effectiveness has already been tested many times in practice and confirmed by reviews of ordinary people ...
The first thing to do if you are bitten by a rat is to quickly take measures to disinfect the wound. It is the risk of contracting an infectious disease that is the main danger in rat bites. Moreover, some of these diseases can threaten a person’s life, and a simple non-specific infection of a deep wound at the site of a bite will not lead to anything good either. It is important to understand that the simple steps taken exactly in the first minutes after a bite can be significantly more effective and important than everything that will be done in the next hours or days. Let's see what should be done when a rat bites in the first place, and what unpleasant consequences may threaten in case of inaction ...
If you decide to kill rats with the help of poison, then the choice of the appropriate drug should be approached carefully - the available options vary significantly both in effectiveness against rodents and in the safety of use in humans and domestic animals.Let's see what poisons are best suited for quickly getting rid of rats and mice in the house, as well as what important nuances you need to consider when working with this kind of means ...
For an untrained person, when buying a rat and mouse repeller, the most difficult thing is, perhaps, to figure out what signs can distinguish a reliable device from an ineffective one. Still, repellers are not mass consumer products, and it’s far from always possible to ask an acquaintance or friend for advice. So for the right choice, you need to figure out what distinguishing features a truly effective device must have, and it will also be useful to find out what experts say about different devices and how consumers who have already experienced this or that repeller speak about them ...
It is reliably known and documented that rats attack humans, and on the whole they do this not so rarely. Moreover, rat attacks are one of the main dangers posed to humans by the proximity to these animals (although it must be admitted that popular rumor sometimes goes too far and exaggerates the horrors of rat attacks too much). About why such attacks occur, why they are dangerous for humans and whether rats can turn into real cannibals - we will talk more about this in more detail ...
If you wanted to put a piece of cheese in a mousetrap, hoping that it was this product that rats and mice love the most, you will have to disappoint a little: cheese is far from the best bait for rodents, although sometimes it really helps to catch them. We will talk further about what baits are the most attractive for rats and mice, as well as about the interesting nuances of their use in more detail ...
What are the criteria for choosing a rat product for home use? Firstly, it should be effective, and secondly, relatively safe, and very good if it is also inexpensive and easy to use. It may seem that it is very difficult to analyze all the means available for sale and choose the one that will meet these requirements. Not at all! In fact, most commercially available products from rats and mice are analogues of each other, and there are not so many that are optimally suitable for home use. We’ll talk about them later ...
