I’m going to begin by saying that the Federal
Trade Commission has officially denounced strobing
light and high pitch sound deterrent machines to
be fraudulent. That’s just in case anyone has any
doubts about these self-titled repellants.
Don’t waste your money with such gimmicks. A
high-pitched sound emitting machine won’t make
rats leave your property. As a matter of fact, it
won’t repel any kind of animal, no question about
it. Stroboscopic light machines won’t affect rats
either, and they will also have absolutely no
effect when it comes to any other nuisance pest
species. From all the products available out there
that suggest or claim that they have the power to
discourage rats from trespassing on private
property, or that they can make rats evict a space
altogether, these types of machines are definitely
the worst.
If you’re looking for a good rat repellent, you
won’t find anything of the sort on this website,
simply because such repellents do not exist. I’ve
seen lots of wildlife removal websites over the
years that appear to be serious, but then endorse
these types of fraudulent deterrents, helping to
maintain these lies either for personal gain, or
out of lack of actual knowledge relating to the
subject they’re writing about. I am proud to say
that I am a highly experienced wildlife control
professional, and I love what I do, including
sharing the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the
years. I’m not creating these web pages to sell
you anything, and I’m not uploading clickbait
content in order to generate advertising revenue.
I bother to publish all the content I publish
because I want people to have the necessary
toolkit to handle efficiently and humanly any pest
issues they might have. I’m pleased to see the
online community moving away from the sorts of
websites that still praise commercial and homemade
repellents, but such articles will still pop up
now and again, and I urge you to stay away from
the false information they provide.
The only way to get rid of rats is not at all as
easy as it would be if a repellent would actually
work, and though it involves a serious level of
commitment and by the book procedures, nothing
else will help you with disposing of these
invading rodents. The way in which I deal with rat
problems in homes and buildings – and the way I
strongly recommend you deal with it, too – is
available for you to consult right on this
website. Just check out the advice I give on how
to get rats out of the attic.
For professional help, I encourage you to take
full advantage of the directory of wildlife
experts I’ve assembled here, and beware of your
run-of-the-mill exterminators or pest controllers
if you hire outside of my lists. They might just
be in it for the money, with no regard towards
good service – make sure you not only ask about a
cost estimate, but also about their experience and
methods. I suggest you only hire certified
wildlife removal professionals, and that you stay
away from big and small company exterminators that
will approach your problem with poison – this
won’t work well at all, you’ll just end up being
another cash cow for them, because poison is not
effective, and they will have to keep returning to
“solve” your rat problem. Lastly, when having to
solve a rat infestation situation, I also suggest
that you pick a long-serving wildlife removal pro,
just because dealing with rats and mice is way
more tricky than dealing with other pest, and
having a great deal of experience in the business
is always a bonus in terms of accomplishing quick
and permanent rat eradication from a household.
