滅鼠

chocobun

i live in a very small "town house" complex with only 4 houses, and we dont have a management company or anything to look after the complex. my neighbors are pretty 自掃門前雪 and one of them is extremely selfish and when problem arises and need to gather money to get things fixed for the benefit of all four families she'd refuse to chip in, saying things are not necessary to be done.

anywayz...

we have a rat problem... we tried calling 滅鼠公司 and they placed 老鼠藥in our house and the rats are gone for about 2 months or so... now they are back and very 橫行無忌.  problem is our pipes are connected with the other houses... so if we dont 滅鼠as a whole complex, just doing it on our house would be no use... and that selfish b*tch refuses to do it together, saying that the rats are used to the 老鼠藥so it's pointless...... n some other bs.

is there any way to keep the rats away from our house at all???? this is driving me nuts... im also worried that they'll harm (e.g. bite) my two rabbits at home (altho they are caged, but it's not hard to get in??)... plus i dont really need extra lives in my already small house.....

any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated... thanks ><

I have this thing at home dunno if its called the sonic chaser, its the thing I bought from Home Depot, that plugs into the electrical outlet at the wall.  It does produce some sound, but its very very very mild, but if you have a rabbit, I dunno if it will affect the rabbit or bother the rabbit.  It works very well, I have 2 in my garage, and I never had a rat problem at all (fingers crossed).  Can you talk to some pest control company to see if there's anything you can do?

I have sonic chasers in the garage.  I brought them from XS Cargo just for fun.  I don't think they work, as I had mice in the garage from time to time (usually in the summer).  But then, I don't have a control test, on what-if there is no chasers.

I would suggest you try mouse traps.  I found once the traps are set, they may catch only once or twice.  Mice would avoid the traps area.

so, you got it? work?

buy the sonic chaser yet?

he's so severe that those purifier things wont work, and the fur will give him asthma. he has to wear those huge "pig mouth" protection mask when he comes into my house to filter out the fur.

i stil haven't seen a rat yet but my mom saw them before even my bf did (considering how rare he comes to my house)... i guess i'm lucky.  but i'm very scared... every time i go to the kitchen at night i need to turn on all the lights and wait for a few seconds so if there are rats they can hide before i walk in cuz i dun wanna see them... and sometimes if i hear some sound i'd think it's rats..><

for animal fur, get those air purifier and air bug(??) killer .  so ur bf will not allergic to that.

I know how u feel when there are rats..  I had that and I fighted with them all night long. scary! and i even coiuldn't sleep on bed.  I even slept in the bath tube, and went to my fd's house.  and set up trap, mouse glue tap everywhere.  but trust me, after I set up the sonic thing, no more rat.   so I can sleep now.. Zzzzzz

thank you all for the useful information! you guys are awesome ^^
rainbow-davie, i'll definitely give that sonic pest chaser a shot!

having pets is too much of a heart break... so having a cat isn't an option (as much as i love cats... but pets almost always die before their owners and it's such a heart ache), esp when my bf is highly allergic to animal fur (he cant be in my house now cuz i have 2 bunnies at home)

as for the agreement thing, it's a reaaaaaally long story, wont even go into that. hopefully we can move out of this place soon.
