How to get rid of rats? This is a question that even some pros will ask. Rodents are a big problem for many people especially here in the USA. We have two main rat species that we deal with, the Roof Rat and the Norway Rat; we also have Squirrels and other rodents that will cause you the homeowner problems.
First we will talk about our Rats. The Roof Rat is as comfortable in the trees as the Squirrel is and we have even heard of some people seeing a squirrel that had a naked tail. This is most likely a roof rat and they may be living in your attic. The roof rat prefers nuts and fruit to most other foods but will accept almost any edible food they might find. We find them in walls and attics and will use CatchMaster Glue Boards to help in controlling them. We also have our Snap Traps that we use in areas where our sticky traps are not a viable solution for control. Then we have the Norway Rat, this rodent really likes to eat high protein foods like meat and will tunnel under your home and can set up residence in your crawl space or walls. Both species of rats will live in the each other’s area, but most of the time you will not find both species living in the same space.
When you are using traps whether they are snap traps or glue boards, you will need to take a survey of your home or business and see where they are entering the building and what kind of harborage is around that you might be able to remove and solve some of your problem before you even get started. When using any trap you need to know that any rat that has taken up housekeeping in your home, they are usually very shy of new objects placed in the areas that they frequent, but the solution to this problem is to pre-bait. When using the CatchMaster Snap Traps you simply place the bait in the bait cup and do not set the trap and place it facing the wall, after the bait is taken you then replace the bait and set the snap trap and you should catch a rat. We do basically the same thing with the CatchMaster Glue Boards, we place the glue board with the release paper still on and place the bait on top and let it disappear at least one time then remove the release paper and place the bait in the center of the sticky trap, then you should catch the next rat that comes by.
Now we can say a little about Squirrels, in most areas of urban areas you have the Gray Squirrel and the Flying Squirrel. You can trap them in the attic with sticky boards or snap traps and only after you have removed all of the squirrels, is when the house should be sealed up so rodents of any kind cannot find a hole to enter your home.
Remember not all glue traps are made the same. CatchMaster by Atlantic Paste & Glue prides themselves on manufacturing the best glue available on the market today. Controlling a rodent problem can be done by the homeowner by using professional grade products. Here at BestGlueBoards.com we feel we have the best rat trap you can buy.
