Poisons can be dangerous to domestic pets. Yes, I did have a rat that came to my room and I left a glue trap . Woke up the next morning and there was a baby rat stuck in the glue , still alive I just couldnt kill it or just leave it there , so I had to unstick it , douse it in water to try to get the glue off him and feed it for a few days . So sad to see the rat in distress , spend days gasping for air , struggling to move . No more glue traps from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexomike Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 In the last two weeks I have caught 23 of them in the spring trap, with peanut butter, caught one in the truck which ate a hole through the firewall. I even have a python on the land, damn without him how many would i have, oh yeah I forgot he only likes my chickens. I am in Rayong, hopefully with the water receding the problem will end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I found that using the big live catch traps has always worked for me. You must clean after each use as somehow they can smell the previous recipients fear. Soft fry a bit of bacon for your trap & rub the fat from the entrance to the bacon. They can resist for about 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen 6 or so box traps with rats in them stacked together out in the hot sun and I am sure that is not where they were set. What a horrible and disgustingly cruel way to kill an animal. That's one place that won't have my business, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It emits a sound that humans cannot hear, but apparently the rats find the noise very disturbing and they quickly leave. I have used these sonic devices. They work well almost too well. They also scare away any cats, dogs, birds etc. If you like to see birdlife in your garden then don't use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, with rat meat at 250 baht a kilo according to this article, maybe they were just waiting for the rat lady: The price of Rat meat goes up in Thailand | Living Thai Edited November 10, 2017 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've LOTS of experience with rats in and around the house! First time around I used the humane cages and filled in all the obvious house access points. The latter was more effective, but still many 'parties' in the roof space and entertainment watching them run along their various patio routes. And then they disappeared entirely. Presumably the rat snakes had decimated the population. The rats have recently re-appeared, but this time round I'm concentrating on ensuring that there is no food available to them in the house - and peppermint oil also works well as a deterrent. I've no doubt the rat snakes will again be attracted and the 'balance' maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddysmit Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 When I lived down in the southern part of Thailand I managed to remove a family of rats(eventually) with the old wire cage spring trap by putting a fish head in as bait,sometimes I caught two at the same time, then the last one to go was 'Momma', I can only think it was the mother rat because all signs went after she was taken alive,different story much further 'up country', they appear to be 'vegetarians', and the one I did catch was quite 'pretty' no way could I kill it.

How about you change the trap, and stick those glue ones on your face, so we don't have tortured animals like the one above in the pic? Seriously, some people are without a conscience.

4evermaat Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) For those of you who value your time and possessions, the glue traps on hard plastic trays are sold tesco brand 2-pack for 32 baht. Add peanut butter or your favorite bait in the center of the tray and put it near their suspected travel path. If you have an infestation, you can catch 4-6 on one trap. You can then drown them or dispose of them via other means. The glue jar + adding it yourself is a lot of mess and time consuming. The bucket method where they slip/fall and drown isnt so bad either, but never tried. My friend had a lot of success with cheap cage traps; not so much for me....they always grabbed the bait and got out without setting off the spring/door. Poison might result in the rat dying in an inconvenient place and the smell of the dead carcass for several days is unpleasant. I'm not an animal hater, but you must consider the welfare of your family also. Rats can chew through just about anything and squeeze through crevices that are less than 1/2 their body diameter. Not to mention they can crap all over the place and attract snakes or other undesirable animals. One just destroyed the inside of a ฿5k printer a friend just bought not even a week or old.

Coconut Kidd Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just by chance/luck while dealing with ants I found that Chandrite 1 Crack and Crevice Spray works well at keeping rats away. No need to catch or kill them, just spray it in any area they are traveling or living and they want nothing to do with that space. They/he/them came back once; I re-sprayed and haven’t seen or heard them in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
