Collier County, Naples Rat Control Situation:
Hello David, We are a warehouse in Naples FL. That deals with telecommunications. We have switch room full of wires and supplies for telephones and Internet supplies. We recently started seen Feces on our shop floor; we also have several huge bay doors but we keep no food or anything like that in the warehouse. It looks as though the rat is only staying in the shop we have not found any feces in our offices or upstairs offices. We have put out liquid poison and hard poison like bars, pellets, and etc. I have even gone to the extreme of a trail deer camera and peanut butter to see if we could get a look at this thing leaving feces. I've Google the feces I've found and came up with roof rat we even have broken the feces up and it looks like its eat crickets an Jun bugs . I guess tonight I will try a hotdog and trail camera again to see if I can get a shot of the rat or thing that is leaving feces everywhere.
Hi David, I was cringing reading your site about rats... I fear them the most of all 4 legged creatures! I couldn't even look at the pictures of them. On that note... I'm just starting to smell a foul scent in a certain area of our home, downstairs. My gut tells me its a dead rat somewhere in the walls. To get a second opinion, I asked our gardener to come inside and take a whiff for himself. I didn't tell him what I thought it was, and he immediately said, "it smells like you have a dead rat somewhere in your walls or in the floor." :-( I'm so disgusted by this... Do you travel to Naples in Southern Florida? If not, can you pls recommend someone good to take care of this problem? Thank you so very much for your expertise and time. Its very much appreciated!

Naples Rat Control Tip of The Week
The Myth That Poison Makes Rats Thirsty And Die Outside
No, rat poison doesn't make the rat thirsty. Poison doesn't make the rodent go out to drink, and along these lines die outside. Rat poison makes the rat dormant, and it dies any place it happens to be at when the poison takes effect. Since the rats living inside a house or building invest most of their energy inside the structure, they usually die inside that building, not outside.
Will Poison Make A Rat Thirsty And Die? (NO - That's A Myth)
Individuals use poisons since they think it is a protected, viable, hands-off strategy for evacuating pests. They have certain thoughts regarding it, but what amounts of those thoughts are true? One thought many convey is that poison will make rodents thirsty. When they consume the poison, they will out of nowhere have a solid, insatiable thirst. That will lead them outside, looking for water, where they will inevitably die. With this thought, poison appears to be the undeniable answer. It gets the rats out and kills them, getting rid of your concern with few to no drawbacks. The problem is, none of that is valid. Poison won't have this impact on rats or mice, or some other animal so far as that is concerned.
Using poison doesn't prompt thirst. It won't cause the rat(s) to leave the property, and go outside to find water. None of this is true; they are all myths. Poison will kill rats, however, not through thirst. Poisons kill rats in different ways, contingent upon the kind of poison you use. No poison will make the rodent want to leave the property whatsoever.
With each one, there is a higher possibility of the rat dying in your home. Ordinarily, this is going to mean within your dividers. Poisoned rats and mice are likely going to build up inside the dividers, and that is if they all eat the poison. There are various issues with poison, such as its ability to kill other animals, and the pain it inflicts on the rats, which adds to the negatives of it as a solution to pest invasions.
