In summary 1. CHEMICAL ( induced, otapiapia, bomb). 2. PHYSICAL ( gum, trap, guns) 3 BIOLOGICAL (cats, snakes) 4. SPIRITUAL ( prayer and fasting, exorcism ) 3 Likes |

Re: Rats: How Do I Get Rid Of These Rats! by lioncoolst(m): 5:17pm On Feb 24, 2011 |
LOL. Are you serious? If there is nothing to feed on won't they just go away. Maybe you need to make sure everything stays in the freezer and not out. They have to have something they are feeding on to love your place so much Please, do not try that, except you want to endanger your refrigerator. I cannot tell you what can happen if you starve these guys. They can even go to the extent of eating your wardrobe, clothes, shoes, settee, plastic containers, iron, name it just to teach you a lesson that: 'You dont starve us and still stay sane. This is our hood and you met us here; and we a'int going nowhere stupid" 2 Likes |

@tlops You don't get cats so that they will eat the rats, you get them so that their scent would drive the rats away. Rats can't live in a cat's "domain" |

Funny thread 'Em nauseating things ate up one of my babies' feeding bottles and a whole pacifier, leaving only a tiny bit of a sourvenir for us to add insult to injury. You would never have known that the bottle or the pacifier ever existed. Big mistake leaving those things in the sink over night. . . .I mean raw harrrrrrrrd plastic! They would even eat stainless steel made by DUPONT! ROTFLMAO!! |

Basically, I had this sort of experience back then and the ONLY safe place to keep and store things in the house was the fridge. However, when I got tired of them, I patched all the holes/their several access routes in the aparment; sealed off every open places including the sealing side; then every morning before going to work, would drop indocid mixed with either beef or bread; put gum on some sides of the house, set trap, drop some rat killing substances as well; repeated the process for some materials that have been consumed in the evening before going to bed. This practices were done for days consecutively, both in the morning and evening. Under a week, my apartment became a glorious paradise for me again. Deliberately now, I can drop any food material on the floor, no SHAKING. Try this 2 Likes |

@OP Try fumigating the house. A few professionals do this for a fee. You won't feel comfortable in the house for a few weeks because you Will be picking dead dry rats all over. Fumigation works! |

WHY DON'T YOU GO FOR A SNAKE BECAUSE CATS AND RATS ARE NOW FRIENDS AND NO LONGER HURT ONE ANOTHER. |

Re: Rats: How Do I Get Rid Of These Rats! by Mustay(m): 5:47pm On Feb 24, 2011 |
Do not be ignorant, there are companies that fumigate in Nigeria. Perhaps you've not attempted to search for one. I hate rats with a passion - I can't even imagine those who live with BIG rats otherwise called 'asin'. Rats are very dangerous and you do not treat them with laxity. Block all holes they have their airports in and get the services of a cat even if it's in a cage or simply fumigate. We all know how Lassa fever caused by rats killed many in the North last year. You have to constantly wash your hands so as not to transmit such diseases from hand to mouth. As weird as it may sound, I tell you that playing the 'meow' of a cat can scare rats - maybe I have a talent in meowing like cats but the day I tried it, they did run! The only problem is rats have great sense of smell and just the smell of a act can send them a warning message; so if they smell no cat, they're less likely to get scared. |

GET RAT GLUES! It works wonders. Sometime ago, my wife complained that some tiny rats were seen playing ten-ten in our living room without giving a hoot about human traffic! The rat glue came to our rescue. It catches them alive so you can savour the thrill of watching them die slowly. Rat glues comes in different sizes and prices and they are available in most parts of Lagos especially in traffic! |

Re: Rats: How Do I Get Rid Of These Rats! by fyneguy: 6:19pm On Feb 24, 2011 |
The most effective and cost-effective biological control for rats is A WISTAR RAT (see the picture below). This option comes with a proviso- BE FRIENDLY WITH THE WISTAR RAT- make it your pet. The wistar though looks too weak for the pesty rats, it feeds on them. Within 2 days of introducing the wistar, you shall see black rats no more. However, if you are hostile to the wistar, your problem is quadrupled, to say the least, as the wistar befriends the blacks and crossbreeds to produce a more destructive breed of rats which invade, not only your house, but your entire neighbourhood, like JTF on a mission to the creeks.
