Sewer rats (tikus got) that have made their way into your home are a real worry, since these rodents can carry many dangerous diseases indoors. You should act quickly to catch them with Cap Gajah products, which are proven effective. If left alone, rats can multiply quickly inside your home. In addition, follow these tips.
The Best Ways to Get Rid of Rats at Home
Traps and Bait
The first and most effective way to get rid of rats at home is to place several Cap Gajah rat traps, such as rat glue boards or snap traps. Put these traps in corners of the house, where rats are likely to pass through often. It will be even more effective if you place bait in the middle of each trap to attract the rats.
To make it more effective, choose bait that rats love, such as cheese, chocolate, honey, or pieces of raw fish. Although rats are often seen moving around on the ceiling, you cannot place traps and bait on the roof. Instead, put the traps where rats usually look for food. This is the most effective way to catch rats at home.
Block Rats' Entry Points
Rats generally like to nest behind walls, behind cupboards, and in similar spots. So if you find suspicious holes in the walls of your home, seal them immediately to block rats from getting in. In addition, sewer rats can also enter the house through cracks in pipes, ventilation openings in door gaps, and similar gaps. You can use wire or steel wool to cover these areas.
Home Sanitation
Sanitation is the key to your success in fighting rats, since poor sanitation or upkeep at home is exactly what these rodents like most. Sewer rats tend to live in quite filthy habitats, with foul smells in the drains near your home. Therefore, you must keep your home clean so you don't invite rats inside.
However, good sanitation alone does not guarantee that rats will leave your home. Rats can survive on very small amounts of food scraps; they need only 3 to 4 grams of food per day. So if rats have already gotten into your home, in addition to keeping things clean, you should promptly catch them with Cap Gajah rat glue or mechanical snap traps.
Cap Gajah rat traps have proven effective at trapping rats. You can choose Cap Gajah rat glue with strong adhesion, or mechanical snap traps that can catch rats with extra force. Once you've caught an animal, dispose of it far from your home so it does not come back.
