    We moved house about 3 years ago. Beautiful property, backing onto farmers fields. Nice large back garden with a small shed. Just after we moved in we spotted a large (about a foot long) rat in our cranberry tree. We later discovered a large network of tunnels going under the fence into the farmers field. (although there's actually a ditch between our back fence and the crop itself. Then we saw several rats gong under the shed (the floor was sitting on 4x4s and there was also a hole in the wooden floor, obviously created by the rats chewing their way in). So we were getting more and more concerned about our rat problem.
    We needn't have worried, we have two cats and two Pomeranians that seem to have taken care of the problem for us. Our tom cat stays out all night seems to be our most powerful little warrior. Sometimes we'd find about a dozen dead rats in our garden in the morning. During the day we even saw him catching a rat as our female cat just sat watching him. We have also seen her despatch the odd rat during the day but she's nothing like as efficient as our tom. He'll drag them out of the tunnels then despatch them pretty quick with a bite to the back of the neck.
    As for the dogs, they make a lot of noise and frighten the rats away, but I've never seen them actually catch a rat. It's been over two years now since I've seen a rat on our property. We also dug a trench below the fence and filled it with concreate, so that probably helps. We also laid a concreate base for the shed and moved it to a completely different part of the garden and repaired it's flooring.
    The neighbours on one side are grateful that, they too, seem to have no more problems with rats which they put down to our cats. Meanwhile, the neighbour on the other side doesn't like cats and would shoo our cats off her property if they ever dared go over there (so they don't any more). This neighbour still has a problem with rats in her garden and they petrify her.

    • @PestInterceptors
      @PestInterceptors  Рік тому +1

      It sounds like a lovely theory, but I’m not sure it’s all down to the cat.
      One pregnant female rat (with enough food and shelter) can become 200 rats in twelve months.
      If you extrapolate that over a few years you can imagine the numbers.
      So unless you have a cat killing 200 rats a year…..see what I mean?
      It’s more likely that someone nearby has used poison.
      I guess it could be your cat. But even if it were a team of cats it would be impressive. And you would be finding dead rats everyday.
      Great results though and keep up the good work. 👍🏼

These rats live in the countryside in burrows they make in the ground. To wipe them out entirely we'd have to cleans the entire British countryside. There are millions of them. We'll never eradicate them all, but with so much freedom, they're free to go elsewhere. It's not a matter of wiping out their entire population, it's just a matter of making our property unattractive to them. If their burrows are being invaded on a regular basis, they'll abandon it and move on.

    I live in the Arizona desert where mesquite trees flourish. When the mesquite pods ripen, the rodents gather them up and store them in their nests so they have an almost constant food supply. I also have neighbors who feed the birds. I tried trapping them for 6 months and caught an average of 1 rodent per day, but they were breeding faster than I could trap them. (If nothing happens to them, one breeding pair can turn into 1,250 rats/mice in one year, and in 3 years can multiply to 1/2 a billion!). The traps were in locked bait boxes, but so far I've found about 4 dead birds in the rat traps. So traps don't prevent non-target creatures from being killed either. I tried cornmeal and baking soda but they wouldn't touch it. So finally I resorted to using rodent bait which is working. (I put chicken wire over the bait boxes to keep the birds out). I don't have rodents inside of any of my buildings and they aren't coming out of the septic tank or sewer pipes (which are all new). But they've chewed wires outside, torn the insulation off a vehicle hood, chewed through the windshield washer tubing, made a nest behind a glove box, destroyed veggies in my garden, and they've left trails of urine and feces all over, and I'm not going to put up with that. I'm going to keep poisoning them for a while longer, but eventually I will switch to feeding the survivors Conntraceptol, which is rat/mouse birth control.

    • @PestInterceptors
      @PestInterceptors  Рік тому +11

      Yes, external rats are harder to deal with than internal ones sometimes. In your case it sounds like a nightmare situation.
      I think what we would do in your situation is a regime of burrow baiting (as much as we hate using rodenticides it sometimes is the only answer!).
      Burrow baiting, if done correctly, is unlikely to affect other wildlife and it helps get over neophobia as the rats have to dig/chew through it to leave burrows.
      Find a rodenticide that can be used for this; I don’t know the laws and products in other countries.
      Bag the bait up in plastic bags. (Grain bait isn’t great, use a pasta or block bait).
      Push the bags into the rats burrows. Cover with soil and then a large stone/rock. (This prevents non targets getting to it).
      Do this every seven days until the holes stop reappearing.
      Then remove the rodenticide.
      Keep going until there is zero activity, you don’t want to leave any survivors!
      As for the vehicle problem, in the UK, there is a company called Lodi based in Kingswinford, West Midlands, England.
      They do a product that keeps rats away from vehicles and I have heard great feedback about this product.
      Get in touch with them and I’m sure they will send you some (kindly mention us when you do enquire).
      Best of luck.

      I too have used everything I heard of or advertised, only to throw heaps of food & other items on a constant basis.
      A very old neighbour suggested I mix cornmeal & soda bicarb together, & throw in just abit of sugar, of course I didn't try it as I had spent so much money on poisons, etc & this seemed to 'basic'
      Frustration with the stinky rats/mice made me try, less than 3 weeks 🤞, they almost but disappeared.
      This mix is safe on all other animals including birds & is cheap. Rats/mice can't burp/fart, the soda causes them to bloat to death.
      I've cleaned up any places around/in the house of hiding spots, no food left opened, etc
      Chicken feed is placed in galvanised feeders, no rodents can get to it & no scraps left on ground.
      I'm not sure the result for others, but this plain, basic mix has been literally a life saver for us,. Anyone who has had to 'live' with these dirty rodents, you have nothing to lose, give it a go 👍

    Also, something I will not be installing is garden decking. Although it can be both attractive and practical, it has got to be one of the biggest attractions for nesting rats/mice.

      @PestInterceptors  10 місяців тому

      It depends. @goobydingbat1027
      Are the rats going in from above ground or are they coming up from the sewer below.
      If they are coming from the sewer you will fill the sewer with gravel and then cause a blockage and it will cause a build up of poop which is food for more rats.
      So the thing to do is fill the holes loosely with paper and then fill over the paper with soil.
      When the holes reappear, is the soil and paper on top of the surface? Or has it just disappeared down the hole.
      If it’s just disappearing down the hole then the rats are coming from below ground, usually the sewer or drain.

    The Rat Flap is the best invention. No need to kill the poor critters. Just cut them off at the pass. If you have Rats in your attic or house the drains/sewers in the first place to investigate.
    Some Pest Control companies won't even fit them. Far easier for them to keep coming out laying traps and/or poison. You can then provide them with an ongoing revenue stream.
    And yes I am speaking from experience.

Anyway we allso have lots of herons in the city as well as buzzards, so when rats eat too much that they become obese and slow they risk to become dinner. I think outside the city center with the red light district most people don't really mind the occasional rat. Biggest problem is that they make burrows under the sidewalks and cousing the tiles to become uneven. If there is a pest in my neighbourhood it is mice, and the terrible noise they make at night. But even mice leave the house if you dont feed them.

    I just discovered mouse " blankets", 6 ft by 15". They can't jump them. I live in the
    Mountains, we've had a horrible problem for a few years since we switched from using pine sol to swifter mop pads. I finally figured out they hate pine sol and the mouse blankets picked up 8 mice the first night. After the first week of catching a lot, its slowing down and seeing no new mouse feces. My house is 7800 sq. Ft, 3 stories so its been a nightmare. I think these are really made for barns, shops etc. They can be easily cut up into smaller pieces! Good luck!

    • @PestInterceptors

      One thing you can try is to keep the spilled chicken feed at a minimum. There are feeders that only open when the chicken treads on a treadle plate.
      When there is very little free food for the rats you can use rat traps in bait stations.
      Also try to track where the rats are coming from, there is nearly always a sewer/drain problem somewhere.
      We do travel all over the uk but only with our Rat Free Guarantee program, but that’s mainly aimed at rats in houses.

A very informative video and extremely well presented. We likewise use mechanical traps and inventions to avoid poison due to our fragile environment. Just about to try out the pneumatic traps from New Zealand by Goodnature. Worth a look being that your company is environmentally responsible. It is great to see and your company should be commended for their effort.

They can get rid of the majority of rats leaving few to deal with by other means. But there is potential for them to cause wariness. They're a tool, like most other traps. And no doubt sometines they get a really effective kill.

    Can i ask a sincere question? And do you welcome feedback at all? I'm a new subscriber to the channel and thoroughly enjoying watching your videos on pest control. You obviously possess a veritable trove of knowledge with regards to the craft. And you are obviously confident in your methods and techniques by the guarantee you offer. I've picked up on a couple of things though and would be interested to get your feedback on it if that's ok?
    You seem quite confrontational in disposition, and often make remarks about the knowledge and experience you've acquired over the years. Do you deal with a lot of negative comments and trolls on this platform? I understand that pest control is probably one area where you get bombarded with ignorant comments. Unfortunately this industry intersects with modern trends around environmentalism, veganism and the usual moral sanctimony that odious people like to parrot because they think it makes them a good person. So any humane dispatching of pests is met with ridiculous outcry. Has that had an effect on your channel and subsequently shortened your patience with people?
    I just wanted to find out if that was the case because i really enjoy the content.
    Many thanks

    • @PestInterceptors
      @PestInterceptors  7 місяців тому

      We don’t suffer fools gladly. Why should we?
      As for the environmentalist and vegans, we hate needless damage to the environment, we also hate those who go around killing for killings sake; and both are illegal to do as a business anyway in the UK.
      We are the only company in the uk, probably the world, who offer a guaranteed rat riddance service that is vegan friendly. We do this because we can and we have the skills to do it.
      Christan is as from being vegan as you could get as he lives as a carnivore for months on end, but he supports other people’s choices and loves animals very much indeed.
      The only bad feedback we get is from other pest control people who can’t do what we do or don’t understand why we do what we do and couldn’t do it even if they wanted to.
      Is this reply confrontational in your opinion? The only reason we ask is because some people get confused between other people’s being confident in their abilities and beliefs, and somehow find it offensive just because they don’t have the same ability or skill sets.

I watched a few of them but unfortunately you're not nearby me you are I believe in the UK I am in the United States so I am having an issue with rats in my yard like this I live near a city plenty of neighbors no farm animals my neighbor doesn't live in their house but they have a lot of brush leaves vines, I believe a old pool that's not in any use just a bunch of debris over there myself. We have a few dogs that their poop is around the yard. Of course I do have a pile of wood, but they had destroyed my vehicles. I have expensive cars they've been outsmarting me with every single trap bait, etc., hard to put poison because my stupid dog will eat it everything that I put non-poison the dogs will eat it so not only does the rats out smart me so my dogs so my question I have I found a few Burroughs a few nesting in my vehicles. what do you recommend doing and you've mentioned in one of your videos chemical that gets rid of the scent so maybe I could spray that along and around my vehicles there is no company in the United States. That will guarantee the way you do. Please advise.
