How Can I Keep Rats Away From My Residential, Commercial Or Industrial Premises?

Rats cause $9b worth of damage per year in the US alone.  This is despite all the trapping, poisoning and deterrents available to mankind.  There are a huge variety to choose from making the decision a difficult one.  Some of them work, some don't.  Either way, you've only got to miss one rat to suffer significant damage and equipment downtime.

Industrial, commercial and residential premises are at high risk from rat and rodent damage.  This is due to the large number of entry points many of these buildings have; it may be impossible to block all of them. In addition, factories are often full of complex, expensive machinery.  This is vulnerable to chewing by rodents.

So what can you do to keep them away?  This new invention looks like a good solution.  It uses a special rat-repelling floor to deter rats in a definitive way.

Most repellents and deterrents are ineffective so it's worth reading some reviews before making a purchase.  Make sure your solution suits your problem appropriately.  A perimetric solution is a great idea and saves you the need to fill thousands of holes with Polyfilla and expanding foam.  Visit the website to find out about availability and whether you can be supplied in your region.
