Tips On How To Get Rid Of Rats - Rat Repellent Reviews

Rat infestations can be a real problem in domestic, commercial and industrial situations.  Rats are not known for their hygienic tendencies and around 35 diseases are known to be spread by them.  The main concern, however, is often the damage that they do.  A recent paper estimated the annual damage to be in the region of $9b in the US alone.

So what can you do to get rid of rats?

Here are some tips on how to get rid of rats, along with some rat repellent reviews. The Hammer Technologies website has some more tips.
A few simple things can really help.

- Block up holes.  With a bit of effort you might be able to find where they are getting in.  Droppings, mess and oily marks can give away their runs.  Block holes with concrete and metal sheeting.  Commonly holes can be found around pipework, wiring and poorly fitting doors.

- Don't leave food around.  Keep it in packets in secure cupboards. Make your larder rat-proof and don't leave food scraps lying around.

- Keep rubbish in a bin with a tight-fitting lid and don't dispose of waste in paper bags or cardboard boxes.

- Find nesting areas.  Look in wall and floor cavities for nests.

- Many rat repellents are ineffective. The new Anti-Rat Flooring from Hammer Technologies uses patent-pending science to keep your home rat free.  Try it if you are having problems with rats.
