AlexCanada Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Maybe some of the traps didn't work since the beach vendor ate the cheese in the trap. I'm confident all rats will be caught. Pattaya is a world class resort. Edited September 22, 2018 by AlexCanada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many were for looking like something is being done? Not many, they failed to catch the bigger "rats," Jet ski operators, ladyboys, RTP, etc. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got rid of them by bringing into the country a lot of cats. Now you will be hard pushed to see a rat anywhere over there The problem in Pattaya is the cats are afraid of the rats, I have seen it many times where the cats just look at the rats then move away from them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were 2700 rats on the beach, it is a 1% success rate. North of Soi 13. Rats have a hard time getting visa for South of 13, dontcha know.?

Classic Ray Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I used some of those traps to get rid of rats at one of our shops, baited with peanut butter and bacon, but the accuracy of construction was poor, the rats could often wander in and out at will, difficult to adjust for sensitivity.

silver sea Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Interesting article on an alternative to rat poison: “Eventually, out of a mix of curiosity and desperation, she fed it to both males and females. The result was dramatic. It turns out that the triptolide destroyed sperm – the males became sterile almost immediately after ingesting the formula. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/sep/20/man-v-rat-war-could-the-long-war-soon-be-over Edited September 22, 2018 by Rimmer Edited for fair use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheungWan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 With the amount of food consumed in the Beach area there is always going to be a source for birds and rats. The problem is that the local municipality does not seem to have had a programme for regular eradication/reduction of the rat population which has multiplied and spread to the pavements. Not good for tourism as they say so maybe something will now be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippytum Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 There are hundreds of rats clearly visible early morning .27 is the tip of the problem .Will they transfer them to another location as they do with the homing pigeons they catch in Chaing Mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 27 is a waste of time. We must have 200 in our apartments rubbish & growing. When I suggested that I close the 3 outlets & fumigate the place the reaction was basically "are you a murderer"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Perhaps the local council could pay a bounty per each rat. That would soon get rid of them!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The chances are that the 27 rodents caught were the result of 27 vendors doing their bit to try and rid the beach of them. The other 78 non effective traps were the result of vendors who said " Who pay me to do this ? - no being payed, no do " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
