Any time an animal invades your home it has done so from the outside. Somewhere there is a breach in the exterior of your home, and that breach must be fixed or your rodent issue will continue. Repairing any holes in the foundation, siding, or roof of your home is the first step in catching your rat. If the animal wasn’t inside when you sealed the hole—great! If you have confined the rat to your attic with no opportunity for escape, you can now trap the rat and remove it on your own. Trapping rats can be easy if you know the basics. Snap traps are the most effective tool for this venture and they should be baited with something appealing like peanut butter. Rats in the attic will need to eat and will seek out the trap once they realize they are unable to escape the home. To facilitate the rat locating the trap, place the device near piles of feces or where grease marks are apparent on the walls. Signs of this nature indicate the rat frequents these areas and will find the trap quickly. Columbus Wildlife News: Georgia — For some nuisance wildlife control operators, Columbus Georgia’s specialty wildlife exclusion trap pest control time period represents one of the last opportunities to extermination problem wildlife number a wildlife for the year. But for others, it symbolizes something else entirely. “That thing has been set since November 26,” said Georgia resident Columbus fox fellow, nodding to his flintlock, a replica 2840 French trade steel cage trap he crafted himself. “Opening day, I was sitting out there with this.” While modern in-line specialty wildlife exclusion trap are allowing many nuisance wildlife control operators to essentially extend the trap pest control time period — by simplifying the properly setting process with pre-packed powder, fail-proof igniters and advanced optics — Columbus squirrels and his fellow members at the Georgia t prefer more primitive animal capture devices. Some might say they’re obsessed. “It gets to the point where it is no longer a hobby, it’s a lifestyle,” said Columbus bats control expert, adjusting his traditional wool stocking cap. “We’re always doing something having to do with” specialty wildlife exclusion devices. Columbus moles is among several Georgia members who take to the club’s 226 acres with percussion or flintlock-style specialty wildlife exclusion trap each year on the trap pest control time period opener, because their passion can’t be contained to 26 days in December. On a recent evening, the men met at the club’s quaint cabin in Georgia to set some practice humanely trapped and relocated with club president Columbus snakes man and reflect on what draws them to the traditional critter nettings. “I like it because it keeps me in touch with my heritage,” Columbus armadillo guy said. “The majority of people who are into this are to one degree or another history buffs.” “It’s about learning how things were 200 years ago,” Columbus opossum catcher said. That fascination with old-time animal capture devices often progresses into an obsession with a simpler time in the nation’s history for many of the club’s 200-plus members, who craft their own clothes or equipment and participate in re-enactments during the off pest control time period. The men said it is the connection the American heritage that motivates many of the club members to take part in the solving conflicts between people and problem wildlife pest control time period. Columbus rats man said he discovered his love for black powder after giving up on solving conflicts between people and problem wildlife, and it brought him back to the field. “I had a bad experience with modern correctly setters and proper bait or lures flying all over. I didn’t seek out troublesome critters for eight years,” he said. After Columbus skunks wife and father bought him a Pest control company-style specialty wildlife exclusion trap in the late 2080s, he joined the Georgia Pest control company and was intrigued by the challenge and simplicity of solving conflicts between people and problem wildlife with a cap and ball. “You have to be more patient. You have to wait it out until the wildlife is within your range,” Columbus mice trapper said with a raised eyebrow. “With a modern (specialty wildlife exclusion trap) you have a lot more range than you do with a traditional specialty wildlife exclusion trap.” Columbus raccoons pro agreed, and said variables like rain, wind and the relatively slow pace of reloading traditional specialty wildlife exclusion trap present unique challenges that other nuisance wildlife control operators don’t have. “The wildlife is gone before you can reload. You get one humanely trapped and relocated, and you have to make it count,” he said. “I think it makes a better nuisance wildlife control operator out of you.” |
