Charleston County, Charleston Rat Control Situation:
Hey David, how do I get rats/mice out of a single wide trailer home? There is maybe 4 inches of space between the ceiling and roof. There is scratching sounds in the walls, and pee stains in the ceiling tiles. There's no way to get into the ceiling. Will I need to gut the ceiling tiles to set traps? There is also a tree that hangs over the trailer house. I heard that rats can use trees to get on the roof, is that true? My girlfriend wants a humane way to remove the rats/mice but I have no way to set cages in her house because there is no attic. Any suggestions?? Thank you for your time and your website is very helpful.
I just read your article about how to remove rat in the attic. The company I talked to told me he has to suck all insulation in the attic out to get rid all the babies, disinfected the attic & spray the new insulation. All this will cost several thousand dollars, does it sound right to you?
We have found a dead rat on our garden. Can you come and take it way for us? Do you charge? Can we take it to the local refuge centre in Charleston? We don't know what to do?
Hi David, After reading your excellent article, I wrote you a long Email and it didn't go through so this is really a test. I've tried numerous ways to get rid of rats in my house i.e., 1. Attack Wave, 2. traps with peanut butter and beef sticks or both, 3. Glue traps. 4. Electronic zapper etc., and the only thing that worked for a while were the Victor traps with peanut butter and beef sticks. Lately, nothing seems to work and I thought I'd try to get some new ideas from you. I read your comment about peppermint oil on the Victor traps but I wasn't sure whether you were being facetious about your having success with this method. Were you?

Best Ways To Keep Rats Out Of Your Garbage
The Most Effective Method
Have rats destroyed your garbage, and you are thinking about what to do? Are you in search of the best method to keep rats out of your garbage? You can end your concerns as the solution you are searching for is simply inside this article. There are numerous ways through which you can keep rats out of your garbage. Black and Norway rats consistently love to benefit from foods in the garbage and trashcans. Thus, homeowners regularly have issues of their waste and garbage being eaten by rats.
Ensure You Dispose Of Your Garbage Often
An ideal approach to disincentivize rats from visiting your garbage is to arrange your garbage so that it doesn't consistently sit around. If the rats find that they don't get enough from the garbage, they will quit coming. That essentially means you don't wait until your garbage gets filled to the edge before disposing of it. This technique will assist you with discouraging rats from visiting your garbage and spare yourself from managing a rat infestation.
Spread Ammonia On Your Garbage Bag To Repel Rats
Without a doubt, if you realize that you can't dispose of your garbage as frequently as conceivable to keep rats from visiting it, you can keep them out using ammonia. What you need to do is to spread ammonia on your garbage bag before tossing it inside your dumpster. The smell from the ammonia will keep rats from revisiting your trash or garbage. This technique is exceptionally compelling as it won't kill the rats, rather chase them away without any problem.
