    properly particularly some the techniques I have been given rid of Rats in our backyard whilst first movied in 10 years in the past. positioned Decon Traps for Rats, then additionally placed Math Balls around the magnificent 2" X 4" on my wood Fence. This stored the Rats off the fence and the Dcon Took care something of the family over a era, 2 weeks. The friends and that i haven't had from now on rats seen for something time we been living at this region. although i alter the Traps two times a 365 days and positioned out sparkling Baited traps for Rats and container Mice. we've 2 vacant plenty around us. That charm to the rodents. although they don't call our place abode from now on.

    We used to have Rats and Mice so we feed them a diet of bread that was dipped in honey and laced (sprinkled) with sulphur ( you can get it from a chemist or drugstore it is yellow.

    What the sulphur does is burn from the inside out and the other rodents hear it screaming and go away because they sense danger, but the ones that don't run away eat the bread and die also.

    I know it sound awful but it really does work.

    Get a cat!! That is a great way to keep rodents away and out of your house. You can get an outside cat & all you have to do is out some food & water out daily. You can get a cat from the pound for free.

    you con get these plug in rodent deterrents. they are non toxic and give off this high pitch noise that humans, cats or dogs cant hear. but rodents hate it and they will be moving home the minuet you turn them on.

    although if you have a pet hamster etc. it is mot a good idea

    I'm thinking it might be time for a professional exterminator.

    The only think I know of to kill rats is rat traps and rat poison

    but if you have pets you have to be careful you don't kill

    them by accident.

    Call a local exterminator. They can spray/treat your property to kill off numerous types of rodents, insects, other problems.
