Rochester Rodent Removal Tip:

How Can I Scare a Rat Away from My Property?
Every homeowner and business owner has a list of issues related to their buildings that keep them up at night. There is always any number of maintenance issues from clogged gutters, to a leaky roof, to a patchy lawn demanding your attention. Out of all of them, perhaps there is one that is guaranteed to make you cringe. That is the question of whether or not you have a rat problem. Rats evoke a visceral reaction that few other animals evoke. A lot of that reaction is because of the fact that they are known to carry serious diseases. Their tails and teeth freak a lot of people out, as does the idea of a rat crawling on you when you are unaware. They also do a lot of damage to buildings with their constant gnawing. They seek out and spoil food. Their presence represents a serious health code violation, especially for businesses such as restaurants and hotels. There are a lot of reasons why someone would want to scare a rat away from their property. In this article, we will explore effective ways to scare rats away and get rid of them for good.

The Cat's Meow
Everyone knows that cats and rodents are natural enemies. They have long been a mainstay of farmers who want to keep rodents away from their grain. Not every cat is a born mouser. Your cat might be just plain lazy but don't underestimate their presence as a deterrent. Even scattering some kitty litter with their scent on it can be enough to scare rats away.

Aromatherapy Isn't Just for Humans
There are some scents that rats hate and make an easy way to drive rats away from your property. Placing cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil is a good way to keep rats away. Pepper, cayenne pepper, and cloves also work. Sprinkling crushed pepper or spraying pepper spray around openings and holes will send them scurrying. You may also want to try mothballs but be careful. You should always wash your hands after handling mothballs and never leave them where pets or children might get to them.

Owl See You Later
Here is a tip, owls terrify rodents. The shadow of an owl flying overhead will always send rodents scurrying. Collecting some owl feathers and scattering them around where rats are nesting or getting into your building will make them think an owl is around. The noise of owls will frighten them as well. 

Bait a Trap
There are a wide variety of traps out there that you can use. Some are live traps that will safely trap the rat. If you use a trap like that you will want to release the rat far from your home or business to ensure that they don't find their way back. There are also a wide variety of traps that will crush and kill the rodent. Regardless of which type of trap you use be careful when handling the rat.

What's the Frequency?
There are a number of sonic devices on the market that will repel rats. They can hear frequencies that humans can't and certain frequencies will send them packing. Just imagine how you would feel if someone started broadcasting the sound of nails on a chalkboard 24/7.

Poison Control
Poison is always an option when dealing with pests. There is a large number of rat poisons out there available in stores. You can make your own by mixing two tablespoons of detergent, two cups of ammonia, and a small glass of water in a bowl. Place it near where the rats are active. As with any poison, it is not safe for use around children or pets. Be very careful about how you use any rat poison.
