1. Control of House Rats:

They also infest offices, shops, godowns etc. Basically, they live indoors. Rats are very suspicious. That is why they cannot be easily controlled by just putting any poison available in the market. Even if some rats eat the poison and die, the remaining learn a lesson and stay away from the poison. This nature of rats is called 'Bait shyness'. To eliminate all the rats, we therefore use a different type of poison - an anti coagulant. It is mixed with a bait material which is very attractive to rats.

It is more effective because rats do not die immediately. They die only after about four days. They therefore do not become bait-shy and the entire population of rats starts eating the bait. And after about 8 days, all the rats die.

We specially make RATGAURDS to prevent entry of rats into buildings with the help of pipes.

How Does Anti-Coagulant Work?

Anti-coagulant destroys Vitamin K in the body. This leads to internal haemorrhage and the rats die soon thereafter.

Trapping

Rats can also be controlled using traps. There are different kinds of traps

Advantages

There is no chance of a rat dying in an inaccessible place from where it cannot be easily removed

Disadvantages

It is very difficult to trap the entire population of rats. If some rats are caught, the remaining learns a lesson and stay away from the traps. This habit is called trap-shyness
