How to get rid of rats

Eliminating rats requires a two way approach -

1. Blocking Their Access To Your Home
2. Catching rats In The Land Around Your Home

Start by keeping your garbage as far from your building as possible. Try not to leave garbage bags exposed on the ground.
If you have trees next to your home, cut away any branches that touch the building. Check the base of your property for any openings, rats can get through even the smallest of holes!

Traps are the safest way of catching rats! The best bait for trapping a rat is generally considered to be strong smelling foods. To use traps you must be patient!

Well there are the ever popular, and highly recommended, traditional "snap traps". The "snap trap" will kill rats and mice instantly and are therefore very popular! There are traps that keep rats hidden and free you - the trapper - from contact with them, they are generally referred to as "no see" traps.
