Pest Repellers
I use the ultrasonic Pest Repellers at my other home in NH and I have never seen any mice when I return in the spring. I agree with you in that I don’t know if they work for roof rats

glue traps nor kind
Glue traps and a BB gun works fine
a branded product. Might be interesting to see if the generic brand works as well? TV ads our no name corn chips out perform the name brand in rat traps. Far as I know we do not have any rats or mice. Based on past experience. Peanut butter works best. The poison is warfarin. Same chemical used as a blood thinner in humans. It works because rats and mice cannot throw up. It causes them to bleed internally and die. That is why they seek water-loss of body fluids. I don't think it will kill birds of prey. They will simply throw up the poisoned rodent Not very kind? Glue traps are not kind either.[/QUOTE] |

Don't put moth balls in your attic! Your house will smell like moth balls for a long time!!!!

Keep them out!!!
Round roof vents come with flimsy screens that will NOT stop critters from entering your crawl space.
Steel screen is needed to stop them….see pic Can possibly help put up steel screens if you suspect a problem Last edited by Cincinnatus; 01-14-2022 at 10:05 AM. |

Not an option if you have a dog that can also hear the Ultrasonic frequency.

I had them in a state neighboring Florida. I did four things to get rid of them: 1: eliminate the food source (bird feeder or citrus) 2. Spread rat poison in attic. It is orderless and contains warafin, the blood thinner. The vermin exit the attic to get water and die outside. 3. Set rat traps in the attic. Removal was particularly disgusting, but easy to locate by smell. 4. Patch all means of access to the attic particularly the valleys of the roof Problem solved. |

Roof Rats
We have friends who live a few blocks north of road 42. They told us their neighbors had roof rats in their attic. They called an exterminator to get rid of them.

They are only attracted to palm for the fruits. Cut out seed pods before the turn into fruits. |

Any rat will take residents in attic’s if they can get in, this also includes squirrels (rats with long furry tails) along with any member of rodent family.
