Rats are contagious, annoying rodents that are somehow able to enter your house cunningly without you knowing it and, by the time you discover them, the damages have already been done: Food has been eaten and thereby contaminated, not to mention them gnawing at the electrical wires, starting fire and carrying diseases.  They leave droppings everywhere and will chew just about anything that they can get their teeth into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various methods to get rid of rats that have sneaked into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) Poison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poisoning is the most effective way to eliminate these pesky rodents. The only downside of this method is that they will die of internal bleeding somewhere in your house, and it\u2019s your job to find them before they stink the whole place up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) Glue trap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name says it all.  A dark brown, sticky mass of glue is slathered generously on a board of wood and placed outside where the rats holed up.  The glue is extremely sticky and, once a rat lands onto it, the glue clings onto the rat like fleas on a dog.  The rat will suffer a slow death trying to escape its personal quicksand and this is why many people consider this method cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) Snap trap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such traps offer an almost instant kill and are highly effective when they are placed at strategic locations in your house.  Rats usually use certain pathways in a house that they always follow; it\u2019s like the same road you take to drive to your workplace every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing snap traps right in their path will increase the chances of them getting caught.  Oh yes, use a full-size rat trap, one that can break your finger, not a puny little mousetrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) Live cage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of trap is basically a steel cage trap.  When a rat enters the cage to nibble the bait, the trap mechanism will be triggered and shut the cage door.  Peanut butter works well as bait. This is one of the most humane ways to catch a rat.  Once caught, there are few ways to dispose of the rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You can discard the live rat outside your house if you can\u2019t bear to kill it.  However, there is a high probability that the rat could sneak back in to your abode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Place the cage together with the rat into a huge plastic bag.  Tie the bag securely and wait until the rat runs out of oxygen and suffocates to death before discarding it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Immerse the cage together with the rat into a pail of water and drown it.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    (v) Tamper Resistant Baiting Station<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This station is made up of strong plastic material.  Place a number of stations inside or outside the house.  Poisoned bait or glue trap can be placed inside the bait stations.  These safe and secure stations are usually used at areas where children and the general public have no access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
