Any kind of pest infestations can be annoying and causes inconvenience. For Residential Property, having pests can be alarming, especially when you have children.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Basic Rodent Control Tips
Domestic pet Rats can only live for 2-4 years, the longest living rat in captivity live longer for 7 years old. Wild Rat lifespan are usually short due to predation, disease, and lack of adequate food, water, and veterinary care.
From birth to adult, average Rats take about three weeks to mature and begin fending for themselves. Rodents reaches sexual maturity in about 5 weeks. The Female Rat start mating to produce and start the Rat life cycle over.
You can stop infestation from happening in your property by knowing how to prevent them. Here are some tips to avoid rats:
Seal All Entry Points
Rats can enter your homes through openings in your doors and windows. Make sure all places that can provide them entry.
Maintain Cleanliness
Sanitation plays a big role in preventing Rats from infesting. Garbage cans are to remain covered at all times with clean surface. Make sure to dispose of rotten food properly as the smell could invite unwanted pest.
Avoid Clutter
Dispose empty boxes and unused cardboards as they can provide shelter for rats.
Remove Food and Water Sources
Food and water are critical for Rat survival. Make sure to invest in airtight containers for leftover foods.
Traps & Glue Boards
Purchase off the shelve traps and baits are also an effective Rodent Control measure.
Try These Out First
Do-It-Yourself Rodent Control Remedy
Aside from hiding potential food sources for Rats, buying glue boards and cages are popular options for Rodent Control. However, knowing where to correctly place the traps is another matter.
That’s why getting a Professional Pest Control Company’s service is important. They can stop the Rat population from multiplying fast and eradicate the infestation.
Moreover, Rodent Control Specialist are equipped with knowledge through years of experience. They can easily identify the signs before coming up with a Rodent treatment plan to get rid of your infestation.
Nevertheless, you can also try to do home remedies to repel rats. For example:
Pepper and Cloves
Sprinkling this near holes and openings, it will prevent rats from entering your property. That is because pepper and cloves irritates a Rat’s nose
Potato Powder
Is effective to repel Rats by placing it around your premises and they will follow the trail and it eat. Once it enters their body, it will swell up within the intestine and kill them.
Ammonia
Ammonia has a suffocating smell that Rats will avoid. Simply spray it on small cotton balls and place near areas where you see them.
Onion and Garlic
These vegetables are not only smelly for humans. Putting slices of onion and garlic cloves at the entry ways helps to fend them off as Rats despise the odour.
Water and Peppermint Oil
We like the smell of peppermint as it gives us the refreshing aroma. Just like onion and garlic, they find water and peppermint unappealing.
While these remedies may help you get rid of Rodents. Do note that the most important aspect of Rodent treatment is preventing reoccurrence. Once the source is eliminated the Rodent population will be controlled.
