Answer: No! No! and No! : Quote from review from Kudzu:"I recently had a problem with Rats. I decided to solve it myself. That was my first mistake I used poison and the fat rat died in my office ceiling and what a stench".

A local pest control company placed the above  restricted use pesticide in a garage where small children could have easily opened the plastic box and consumed it.  We get many calls from homeowners that have placed bait packs in their attics or other areas, looking for a quick resolution to the problem.  Most of the time the dead rats wind up dying in the further recesses of your home and create an unbelievable stench throughout your home.      

 Read the excerpt from the manufacturers website:.

Tracking powder contains a toxin mixed with special carriers that adhere to the rodent's fur and paws. It is ingested when the rodent grooms. Tracking powder is insoluble in water which prolongs the effects of the powder, making it ideal for tough jobs.

Tracking powder is good to use under controlled conditions when bait acceptance is poor. Apply just teaspoon amounts in bait stations, rodent runways, burrows, wall voids or other areas where rodents travel. Do not use it in drafty locations where it could become air borne or where it could contaminate food or surfaces that come in contact with food.  Tracking powders are restricted-use pesticides.   Not only is this not safe, rodents that do die from poison usually wind up dying in wall voids or behind stairs.  Many companies state that the rodents will seek water, or get thirsty.  This is untrue, as the rodents die from their blood not being able to clot.  Please do not make the mistake of hiring a company that uses poisons.  The risks are not worth it!  Call us today for Poison Free Rodent Removal.

Answer:  Trapping offers a short term solution to the overall problem.  If we set traps, there is no guarantee that all rats or squirrel will be caught.  Since most rodents are prolific breeders, setting traps in conjunction with sealing is the best approach to the situation.  Exposed areas need to be sealed to avoid further damage from occurring.  Any hole larger than 1/2" in diameter for rats, and 1/4" in diameter for mice needs to be sealed to prevent entry.  It is a detailed endeavor, and best left to a trained professional.

Answer:  Rats are nocturnal, (active at night). So if you are hearing chewing and scurrying in the attic or walls, at night, chances are you may have a rat problem. Noises at night may also indicate flying squirrels, raccoons, or opossums.  If a severe rat infestation occurs, you may hear activity during the day, or possibly see a live rat wandering around for food.

Answer:   The main problem rats present, other than the noise they create and diseases they carry is the possibility that they will chew electrical wires creating the potential for a structure fire. Rats can also chew on plastic plumbing pipes and flood out areas.
