Norway Rat Control

Norway rats are husky, brownish rodents that weigh about 11 ounces. They are about 13 to 18 inches long including the 6 to 8 1/2 inch tail. Their fur is coarse and mostly brown with scattered black on the upper surfaces. The underside is typically grey to yellowish-white.

Rats will eat nearly any type of food, but they prefer high-quality foods such as meat and fresh grain. Rats require 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of water daily when feeding on dry food. Rats have keen taste, hearing and sense of smell. They will climb to find food or shelter, and they can gain entrance to a building through any opening larger than 1/2 inch across.

As with the house mouse, effective control involves three aspects: sanitation, rodent-proof construction, and population reduction. The first two are preventive measures. When a rodent infestation already exists, some form of population reduction almost always is necessary. Reduction techniques include trapping and/or baiting.

Poor sanitation and the presence of garbage help rats to survive in residential areas. Good sanitation will effectively limit the number of rats that can survive in and around the home. This involves good housekeeping, proper storage and handling of food materials and refuse, and elimination of rodent shelter (harborage). Outside dog pens must be properly maintained to reduce potential rat problems. Removing clutter around homes allows inspection for signs of rats. Good sanitary practices will not eliminate rats under all conditions, but will make the environment less suitable for them to thrive.

The most successful and permanent form of rat control is to "build them out" by making their access to structures impossible. Ideally, all places where food is stored, processed or used should be rodent-proof. Store bulk foods, bird seed and dry pet food in metal cans with tightfitting lids.

Seal any openings larger than 1/4 inch to exclude both rats and mice. "Stuff-It" steel wool makes a good temporary plug. Openings where utility conduits enter buildings should be sealed tightly with metal or concrete. Equip floor drains and sewer pipes with tightfitting grates having openings less than 1/4 inch in diameter. Doors, windows and screens should fit tightly. It may be necessary to cover edges with sheet metal to prevent gnawing.

Trapping can be an effective method of controlling rats, but it requires more skill and labor than most other methods. Trapping is recommended where toxicants are inappropriate. Try trapping first in homes, garages, and other small structures where there may be only a few rats present. Trapping has several advantages: 1) it does not rely on inherently rodenticides; 2) it permits the user to view his or her success; and 3) it allows for disposal of trapped rats, thereby eliminating odor problems which may occur when poisoning is done within buildings. A few of the traps we use and suggest are listed below.

T-Rex Snap Trap - Named after the fierce dinosaur, the Trapper T-REX is Bell's most recent addition to its line of reliable traps. Professionals can now use a safer alternative to competitor's dangerous rat snap traps. You can integrate the Trapper T-Rex as a new tool for special situations, too, like chemical free accounts. The Trapper T-REX offers superior rat capture. Trapper T-Rex Rat Trap

Patented, interlocking teeth make rat escapes virtually impossible. The trap is a perfect combination of trigger sensitivity and trap velocity -- speed and responsiveness ensure capture. Extensive field and laboratory testing fine-tuned Trapper T-REX to optimum specifications. Safer and easier to use than competitor's snap traps, Trapper T-REX can be readily set by foot safely on the ground. Press the trap open like a pedal, keeping fingers free and safe. Bell included a removable bait cup that inserts from the bottom of Trapper T-REX. The cup can be withdrawn and re-inserted without the trap being set, which greatly enhances safety and ease of use. Use the T-REX along rat pathways. Try baiting with peanut butter, bacon, fruits, vegetables, cereals, meats, and acorns for wood rats (pack rats). Order Your T-Rex Now.

Masterline Rat Glue Board (Formerly Trapper)

Trapper Glue Boards capture rats and mice without poison. The Trapper 2-Pack contains two face-to-face glue boards which separate easily for placement. The glue boards are ideal to use in food plants, kitchens, restaurants, food processing plants, hospitals, residences, zoos and other sensitive areas where the use of poison is prohibited or discouraged. Trapper's sturdy, low-profile plastic tray reduces the chance of rodents stopping at the edge of the tray. Once rodents step onto the glue board, Trapper's tenacious glue holds a rat securely, while just the slightest contact with the glue will hold a mouse. For best results, place Trapper Glue Boards directly in the rodent's runway between its nest and food supply -- every 8 to 12 feet for mice and 15 to 30 feet for rats.

Rats: Place at least 2-8 packs per placement. Space placements at 15-30 foot intervals. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for 10 days or until signs of rat activity cease.

Rats and Mice: Immediately replace contaminated or spoiled bait. Properly collect and dispose of all visible dead animals and leftover bait. To discourage reinfestation, limit sources of rodent food, water and harborage as much as possible. If reinfestation occurs, repeat treatment. For a continuous infestation, set up permanent bait stations and replenish bait as needed.
