Wood Rats (Pack Rats) The Wood Rat (also called a Pack Rat), is usually not too much of a pest problem until they start damaging equipment or property with their teeth or contaminants. They get the nickname from the rats’ habit of collecting items (sometimes manmade and usually shiny) from its environment to furnish its burrow. They will readily get into the engines of cars and RV's and do significant damage to wiring, etc. This rodent is a fairly large, gray-colored rat with large ears and relatively short, heavy, sparsely-haired tail. It is usually found associated with cactus or some other thorny desert shrub. You may see a burrow leading under prickly pear cactus, mesquite, or other types of cactus where it constructs a house of sticks, joints of cactus, thorns, or any other readily available material. Due to the natural protection of cactus, they are much safer from larger animals. Pack Rats readily take to baits and are fairly easy to trap with the T-Rex. Traps can be set with peanut butter, and Protecta LP's can be placed in areas of rodent activity. 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. Sanitation. 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. Rat-Proof Construction. 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.

Traps. 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.
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.
Never Touch A Dead Rodent Again! The rat zapper from Agrizap, Inc. is an effective, clean, easy to use, and humane trap that works by killing the rodent with a quick electronic shock. The main advantages of the Rat Zapper are as follows: * Effective (kills mice, rats, chipmunks and ground squirrels) * Clean (no blood or guts) and re-usable * More humane than snap traps, glue boards, and poison * Compact (10" x 4" x 4") and easy to use * 10 rodent kills or 30 days with one set of 4 Alkaline AA batteries * Flashing kill indicator light (you never have to see the dead rodent!) * Not an ultrasound device Approx. Dimensions: 4" x 4" X 10"
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 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.
Bait Stations
Protecta LP holds all types of bait, including Contrac Blox that fit on horizontal and vertical bait securing rods. Patented interior baffles lead rodents directly to bait. Protecta LP locks automatically when closed and unlocks with a special 2-prong key that also opens Protecta Mouse, and the Protecta RTU. Available in black, light gray and green to fit discreetly in any baiting environment.
The Protecta Sidekick
is an economical way to upgrade from using non-tamper-resistant bait stations to the security and
high quality of tamper-resistance. It locks when closed and unlocks
with Bell's two-prong PROTECTA key.
Constructed from impact-resistant, injection-molded plastic,
Sidekick holds up well in temperature extremes. In the field,
it works as both a bait station and a monitoring station.
Vertical bait securing rods hold Bell's BLOX securely in the station.
As a monitoring station, it holds the Trapper T-Rex Rat Snap Trap which captures
rats as they enter the station. Order your

operator to set the bait station where it needs to be rather than out of
sight where it has to be so the esthetics of the landscape are not affected.
Its low profile and its camouflaged entry points makes it blend naturally

FirstStrike Soft Bait is a
new concept in rodenticide technology from Liphatech. It is highly effective and
is easy to secure to bait station rods. The most technologically advanced
rodenticide on the market containing Difethialone, which was invented and
patented by Liphatech, and has half the active ingredient compared to other
anticoagulant rodenticides. 
These stations are used extensively in industrial or food plant operations for
exterior perimeter protection. They are also great for perimeter
protection around the home or next to piles of firewood or excessive harborage
areas. Whether you are in a rural area (mesas, mountains, woods) or in an
urban environment, these stations will provide you with year round protection
from foraging rodents. The ideal spacing for Protecta LP's range from 20
ft. to 50 ft. A lot of homes keep no less than four. One for each
side of the house.
