lemel Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Does anyone know the telephone number of a 'Rat Catcher' who will lay traps and dispose of the vermin afterwards? dont want to go down the 'sticky matt ' route? Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I had rats in the roof cavity and was worried about them chewing on electrical wiring. So bought a couple of metal rat traps from local hardware, baited them with some chicken (anything will do) and caught 10 rats in as many days. The rats were stone cold dead after that spring bar hits their neck, so only a question of opening it up, use rubber gloves if you're squeamish, drop into a plastic bag and put out for the garbos to collect, or bury in the garden. Not had a rat back since. Didn't want to use poison because they die up there and smell, and no way would I use a sticky trap. What do you do with a live rat stuck to the pad? So the old fashioned trap is still the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Get a rat snake...do it natures way. Too many people are too quick to kill snakes when in fact they are very useful. http://www.thailandsnakes.com/aglyph/keeled-rat-snake-ptyas-carinata-not-dangerous/ Those sticky mats are the worst thing I have ever seen - if you don't find the dead rat soon enough you can by the smell and sometimes they knaw off a limb and leave it behind...

Depending on the severity of your problem you may have someone coming and setting the traps every day and disposing of the dead ones, indefinitely. I can't say it was a job that I relished either, but it had to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would giddyup but Im not there everyday, today I am but then KL 2 days back for 1 then away for 3 days and my wife will not go near them. She does not want to climb up ladders into the loft space and dispose of a rat even though its dead and in a cage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a cage, mine were killed in a conventional type trap, like the old style mouse traps but bigger and stronger. I bought two, one for each side of the roof access. Before I killed them off they were having a party up there every night, at first I thought they were squirrels, sounded too big to be rats, but rats they were.
