madusa Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It appears that rats are more intelligent than monkeys. I have seen restaurant in jungle resort put big size cotton cloth made tiger near the table to frighten those monkeys and it works, they don't come near the restaurant. Those cotton cloth made tigers are the sizes of a large dog and in good color that resemble a tiger, with whiskers and glass eyes balls.. So somehow rats are more intelligent they aren't afraid of cats made of cotton cloth. May be tiger's urine may frighten the rats to avoid your house. Anyone tried that ? I know friend who trained their dogs to hunt for rats and it works quite well, they bite them till they die. They dig them out of the earth.

oldcarguy Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have heard you can use quick drying plaster powder mixed with oatmeal or something else the rats like , they get the plaster when eating the oatmeal and it hardens inside them...... not toxic to whatever eats the remains......

Eat it and get plastered. A solid suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I have only set the trap in a single place. It's a cupboard under the stairs with a door that is outside the house. No food is kept in there, but, it does have the control boxes and wiring for my automated sprinkler system. After having to replace some electronics that cost me 5000 Bt due to rats chewing on the wires, I decided to always leave a trap in there. Rats will go anywhere to search for food. There doesn't actually have to be food present for a rat to check a place out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although its not a case of rats living in your house , its them just passing by searching for food . I generally have a no food in the house policy , although I did buy a packet of biscuits , left the packet unopened and a rat jumped through my window , through a little side gap, where the window doesn't close properly and ate through the biscuit wrapper and ate the biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 23 rats, last one was trapped in my truck, the little bastard ate a hole through the firewall, ate a pocket in the back seat, and chewed a wire harness, that was the end of him, hopefully I have gotten all of them, with four dogs roaming the property and a few snakes surprised I had so many, never saw a one of them in the daytime, all trapped at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
