Get rid of rats

My neighbor has a rock wall going down to his garage with a laurel hedge on top we see Rats in and around the rocks I have seen them run across my patio I have put d con on the patio that has slowed them down

There is a water holding a ½ block from my home and another about 3 block across from my I neighbor have seen rats 2 run from across the road plus one that could hardly move and one dead we have put d con under the hedge and any place we have seen them it might slow them down but still have them around so far none inside.

Most DCon products are what are called "multiple dose" rodenticides. This means that the rat has eat an amount that is usually equal to 2-3 times its body weight. Thats why we don't sell DCon.

A much better rat bait is Havoc XT - http://www.epestsupply.com/product/23...

or Contrac Blox - http://www.epestsupply.com/product/BE...

These baits are "single dose" baits and the rodent only has to eat a small amount for it to be lethal.

Trapping outside can be effective, if done properly. The trick is to use a Protecta Bait Station with a T-Rex Snap Trap inside of it. The Protecta Station will protect the T-Rex Trap from pets and other animals. It does a great job of trapping rats. Here are the links -
