Rat in rural house |
Now a days rats are
great problem in rural areas. If you live in rural area then you definitely be familiar with this problem. In every year rats destroy millions of dollar's crops. They are also
responsible of spreading many deadly diseases. So, it is very important to
control them at the very beginning of the infestation.
It is
very hard to get rid of rats. But, good knowledge, usable technology,
expertise, and dedication will make the job quite easier.
There have many ways of controlling rats like, poison baits, snap traps, live trap, natural products, etc. Today, I gonna discuss about
natural techniques only.
Prevention is Better than Cure
If you
notice any sign of rat infestation then you should tidy up your house perfectly.
Rats like to hide in dark places which are filled with torn clothes, jute, fibers,
papers, etc. They use those goods for making nest for breeding.
Then remove their food sources. They
like to take grains, fruits, rice, vegetable, cake, cookies, etc. They like to
eat, whatever we like. Proper housekeeping will discourage them to come into our house.
Seal All The Entrances
Rats
require very narrow spaces or holes for entering into any place. The houses of
rural areas many have such types of holes, voids, cracks, and/or spaces in the
boundary walls and even on the house walls. Such types of holes are responsible for rat’s infestation. You must seal those openings for preventing them.
Use of Predators
Almost
every people of this world familiar with Mr. Tom and Jerry. In real life Tom is very powerful than Jerry. Bring a good hunter cat to your house and observe the change. Owls are
also very good hunter. Setup some nesting boxes in your yard for
owls. People are using them as natural
techniques of protecting rural homestead form rats.
You may
also use snake’s poo for controlling
rat’s infestation in your house. Snakes like to eat rats, so rats always
maintain safe distance from those predators. I think, now you are thinking about collecting snake poo!!!! Don’t worry, you will get it from your local
zoo or live animal shop. Spread some poo around the infested areas. Rats will
definitely leave your house just after getting the smell of those poo.
Use Traps
Using box traps is an old practice for
controlling rats naturally. Box traps are very effective in rural homestead.
These traps require not chemical pesticides, so you can use it safely into your
house. These traps will not hart your pets.
Sticky traps are also useful for killing rats. You will find good
sticky traps in the market. Bring some traps and set in places like,
branches of the tree, covered electric cables, ropes, etc.
Continue those Processes
You
should not stop those activities, just after getting rid of rats. Because, rats can return at any time. If you stop, then they
will freely enter into your house.
