My home is my castle! Such a statement somehow does not fit with what it really is, when such uninvited guests as rats start up in it. I don’t want to share my home with such harmful neighbors who not only do not hesitate to eat food supplies, but also carry many diseases dangerous to humans, and can also damage property by gnawing through wires and communications in the house. These little animals accompanied mankind as many centuries ago, so, unfortunately, today. They are in no hurry to leave people alone.
There are several types of rats, most of which are omnivores, so they can feel comfortable both in residential buildings and in offices, public or warehouse areas. Rats breed year-round, one female of some species can bring offspring up to twenty rat pups per year. It is not difficult to imagine that this state of affairs can lead to real disaster if you do not know how to get rid of rats. Fortunately, today there are effective ways to control rodents.
To get rid of rats once and for all, firstthe need for preventive measures. It is necessary to create unfavorable conditions for rodents for reproduction and nesting, not to allow them to freely enter the premises - seal ventilation passages with metal mesh, basement and attic windows must be glazed, and all kinds of cracks and holes should be sealed.
But how to get rid of rats if you do not follow basic sanitary rules? For example, city dumps, especially if they are located near catering points, are simply a paradise for rodents. If food waste is not removed on time, then all measures to combat rodents will be ineffective.
Today there is a whole Security and Protection Deratization System (OZDS), approved by regulatory documents at the state level and recognized as the most effective. OZDS equip such urban facilities as offices, underground communications, preschool and educational institutions, residential buildings, production and storage facilities. Especially important is the protection from rats of objects such as food warehouses and production. The installation of the OZDS allows both getting rid of rats and preventing their further appearance, since such a system completely blocks the migration routes for rodents through the territory protected by the system.
Since it is possible to get rid of rats only with the use of complex measures, prevention is necessary plus treatment of the premises and areas adjacent to the dwelling with products based on food poisons. Methods for getting rid of rats in living quartersare as large as the HOZDS, but require no less effort. Mostly mousetraps or food poisons added to the bait are used. All sorts of ultrasonic rodent repellers are also popular today, which are simple to use, but, unfortunately, not all models give the desired result. The main condition is the regular implementation of protective measures and compliance with sanitary standards.
