The Best Bait for Rats

Are you experiencing problems with rats? You are not alone. While there is a stigma for having rats because most people associate them with filthy or dilapidated conditions, it’s not unheard of for rats to appear in homes or buildings that are pretty clean or fairly well maintained. Of course, there are preventative measures one can take to prevent a rat infestation, such as putting away all food material, and thoroughly cleaning and sealing any openings that would allow rats to access the building. But what if they have already made their way in, and now you are trying to figure out a way to get rid of them? The answer lies in a little science – but don’t run away! We will consider a three-part formula for effective rat removal: identifying rodenticides, figuring out the kinds of rats you are dealing with, and finding the best baits for that particular species.
