Rats they are stubborn animals and the most
irritating fact is that you can find them
anywhere inside commercial buildings, attics,
homes and even garages. People badly want to get
rid of them once they enter the house, but
problem is that most of us don’t know how to
accomplish this task. In a number of situations
people are left with no other choice and due to
lack of knowledge select repellents and in the
end face great troubles. The market is full of
rat repellents and associated products you will
also find many online tutorials providing
information related with natural or homemade
repellents. However, keep in mind that most of
the times these so call repellents don’t work
and you are left in troubled yet confuse
situation. Will repellents get a rat out of the
attic? This question is asked by a great
majority of homeowners and the honest answer is
always is No. In fact, even the smell of a
repellent doesn’t bother a rate so you can never
consider them to be affective in any situation.
Let’s discuss some popular types of rat
repellents which are present in market and how
they are not affective.
Predator urine
The theory behind using this one is that
predators eat rats so if you will sprinkle it in
the attic, then rats will feel that predator is
nearby and will run for their lives. However,
rats actually don’t run away because they have
been living in environments with predators for a
long time so they know how to survive. In fact,
this will create more trouble because rats will
move into smaller holes.
High pitch noise machines
The markets are loaded with them with sellers
making very high claims, but beware of their
tactics as they provide zero result. You will
only waste money and time with them because in
majority of situations they failed in providing
convincing results. You should never go behind
any ultrasonic machines because most of them are
not designed correctly so they can’t function in
the right way.
Peppermint oil
It is another very popular repellent, which is
found among masses. It never acts as a repellent
in fact you can use it as bait in rat traps. You
will again waste money and time with this one so
avoid using it. In addition to the above
mentioned repellents many other products are
present in market, but sad part is that most of
them are not considered as affective. Therefore,
it is better that you should try something
useful. Take suggestions from experts and to be
honest for capturing rats there is nothing
better than traps as these ensure quick, easy
and permanent removal so you should try it.
