- 1). Learn about rats. Rats have a way of ruining buildings, bringing disease and creating a host of other problems with their presence. An infestation of rats can be a nightmare. Sewer rats, also known as Norway rats, crawl into sewers and openings in buildings to look for food and to find shelter. Although rats have a short life span, which averages only one year, their reproduction happens very quickly and thus makes these pesky critters difficult to get rid of.
- 2). Remove any trash that is around your home or building. Loose trash in the streets often attracts rats in large numbers, so be sure to keep the area around your home or building clear of trash. Seal up any openings in the building that would allow rats to get into the building and ultimately into the walls. Rats are always looking for more places to find food and shelter, so make sure that you are keeping trash away and filling in any holes in the building or home.
- 3). Find natural repellants to unnecessarily endangering your family with chemicals. There are many natural rat repellents that can help you keep the rats away without using any dangerous chemicals and without having to remove rat traps. Natural products use granules that have been treated with the urine of foxes and bobcats. Given that rats have a keen sense of smell and are afraid of foxes and bobcats, they will keep the rats away. The rats will be looking for another place to find food and shelter, once they sense the odor of their most feared predator.
- 4). Employ ultrasonic technology as another safe option to get rid of rats. Simply plug in the device and it will emit sound waves that are impossible for humans to detect, but that irritate and repel the rats -- effectively keeping them away from your home. You don't have to worry about using dangerous chemicals or removing rats from traps by using this technology. Your home will be rat-free in no time.
