  • Non poisonous method to kill rats

    We had a rat problem awhile back and the large set up traps got some but the remainder were not getting caught! A pest control person told me to put out bowls of coca cola. They drink it, and something with the carbonation must do something because it kills them! I was worried about using poisons having dogs and cats around so this was safe and worked great!!

  • Best Rat Trap Ever

    I have had the greatest sucess with the battery operated traps. It is like a little "cave" and you put the bait at one end. When the rate goes in, he steps on a metal plate that is wired to the 4 "c" batteries and he is electrocuted immediately. Then you just dump him out, never have to touch the dead critter either.

    I don't like poisons because the dead and/or dying rats can end up outside and are easy hunting for the barn cats and dogs, for owls, snakes, hawks and other animals. When you poison your rats you are poisoning your environment.
