What Damage to Rats do?
Rats cause a huge loss of food worldwide. Besides eating our food they spoil it by contamination with their feces, urine, or fur. They can be found not only in our homes, but supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses, food processing facilities, livestock facilities, and farm fields.
What bait should I use for Rats? Cereal, grains, nuts (especially peanuts) sunflower seeds, anise oil (a drop or two on bread), shelled corn, apples work well for bait. Mixed peanut butter and oatmeal or peanut butter and molasses, popcorn. One trapper swears by almond extract on bread as bait to tempt the nearest rat.
Where should I place Rat traps?
It is very important to use plenty of traps. As many as six traps for only one or two rats is appropriate. In a commercial building or restaurant as much as a couple of dozen is needed.The traps should be placed in darkened corners, along walls, behind appliances and any areas where droppings have been sighted. In trapping for rats, place traps about 10 feet apart since they don't travel very far. If the rat population is large, place the traps about 15-20 feet apart.
