Iamemjay Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I have similar problems from time to time. The problem is that rats are smart. After a while they won't touch the baits if you use the same ones repeatedly. Go to a farm supplies/fertilizer shop and see what they have got. They usually sell the baits in bulk, and have a variety of types. If you've been using the blue ones, try the pink ones or another type. The problem emanates from the rice fields. In this so called "chemical free" industry (It's far from it!) the farmers are using a strong pesticide to kill the snails - the rat's primary food source. So they are moving into peoples' houses instead, hence the farm shops stocking the baits in bulk. (This explanation was provided by the owner of one of the larger farm supplies centres in our district. Of course he sells both the pesticide and the rat baits - double dipping!!)

worgeordie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The rats only come into our house during the rainy season, as they are not your typical sewer rats, they are tree rats,and come inside to get out of the rains, we find the best way to trap them is with those sticky pads,put some bait in the middle,like popcorn,something dry that will keep a while. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevets Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 We had them in the house about 2yrs ago you would be surprised at how small a hole they can get through. Used the blue stuff , but we get them in the carport separate from the house , living in the countryside everywhere are small animals. The car has been to the garage for repair to wiring, and even went through a petrol pipe on the tank although i think some are down to the many chipmunks we have around. Happy hunting.

DDbkh Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 We had a rat gnaw a hole in the kitchen roof. I put the N-Rat glue on some cardboard near the hole. Next morning the rat was stuck to the cardboard and I swiftly dispatched it. Interestingly, there is no sign of others after three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estrada Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Occasionally we get rats in the roof space in our terraced Bangkok home. The sticky pads catch them. However we once caught an Indo-Chinese Forest Lizard around 400mm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBanks Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Our cat is brilliant, it not only takes care of the rat population it kills snakes too. Last week it brought a snake home for us to see, one of those green tree snakes. Before we had the cat we had rats up in the roof, we could here them running around, I opened the trap door and put the cat up there after a couple of days silence!!!! Every now and again we hear something moving about so we pop the cat back in and the problem just goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Get a cat or two... don't over feed it/them, problem solved. Mice and rats generally don't hang around when a cat is in the immediate area. Cats can be well-fed (and should be) and will still catch rats and mice. They're hard-wired to do it. Not a function of hunger. If they are hungry they'll travel further afield in search of food and not be around to offer rodent eradication services to you alone.
