Rat Control Solutions for Your Backyard

Do it Your Self Pest Control

S. A. Knight
In my neighborhood the rat problem has been particularly bad ever since Hurricane Katrina made landfall August 29, 2005. They are constantly in the backyard especially in the early morning and late evenings. My lab goes nuts when they are in the yard and he has killed one or two occasionally. Advice has ranged from getting a cat to getting a gun but none of those works for me. The pest control company has placed traps behind the fence in the empty wooded area adjacent to my property, but that hasn't stopped the problem.

Frustrated, I did some research on the Internet and found a company that supplies pest control advice and equipment. I ordered rat-baiting stations, which were fairly priced and very easy to use.

The bait stations I ordered are molded plastic and look like a gray rock. The bait that fits the stations are made to be very easily placed in the bait station and the stations have a safety control feature that keeps children and pets from accessing the poison bait. The stations require a few minutes to set up and checking to see if they need more bait takes less than a minute. The rats are obviously feeding on the bait and they are not running around my yard eating from the bird feeders any more.

The units I have are three Protecta Landscape-Sandstone- Units spaced around my property. If you want a do it yourself pest control solution try this company because they have helped me solve my rat problems.
