Rat problem sa house

[kevin3000]

before di ako takot sa daga.. pinaglalaruan ko pa ung dagang costa ung white..
pero last time nakakita ako sa sala tapos pumasok sa kwarto ko.. sa kabilang kwarto ako natulog kinabukasan pinalinis ko ung kwarto ko.. and may namatay na daga sa loob ng a/c ng kwarto ko grabe ang baho!

try niyo ung fly trap effective un!

[JJGF]

kung bubwit lang tama na yan fly trap.. pero kung kasing laki ng kuting airgun na katapat nyan

[chua_riwap]

Pusa lang katapat nyan.........

[badkuk]

dunno if that's necessarily true; imho most cats would rather rummage through garbage, or beg for food rather than hunt.

effective ung nabili naming mousetrap; it's an all metal, smaller version than the one sir niky posted a while back. mga 70 pesos ata.

i bought 5 traps, and in the first 4-5 days nakahuli kaagad ng close to 20 bubwit/mice. though sad to say medyo nag lax kami after that, kaya nagkaron uli ng daga...so lagay uli ng traps.

Pusa lang katapat nyan.........

i concur. may scent marks din ata iniiwan ang mga pusa through their paws and cheeks to warn certain preys and cats alike that this is where they lounge.

may kitten nga ako dati alaga sa apartment ko inatake niya isang full grown rat na kasing laki niya...epic ang struggle nila! pang pelikula!

[woohoo]

effective yung trap na parang kulungan.. meron dating ganyan sa bahay nang tita ko sa laguna.. nahuli namin ang laki.. tapos ginawa namin.. binunutan namin nang ngipin.. tsaka namin niligaw kung saan..

Ngek, iniligaw... hehehe... ang bait naman nila...

Kami, nilulunod namin ang nahuhuli namin.

First of all... Rats are Marsupials... a distant relative of Rabbits, Kangaroos and Guniae Pigs. Treat them like what they are really.

First step: Feed them; put food stuff in a particular spot everyday... observe how much they are consuming it... change the quantity for every given time. With their consumption pattern - you can easily tell if they are a large lot or not.

Second step: Now that they are used to this system... of course- do it consistently for about a month more or less. You will observe they will not be destroying your things nor bite your food stuff in your cupboard or pantry.

Third: Slowly introduce a new pet in your household. A Female Cat... the cat should initially given good food on time... then slowly starve it. But don't stop putting food fore your pet rats... the place where you will be putting the rat food should be inaccessible for the cat.

The effects:

You will not have a dead rat rotting under your bed.

Your Cat will take control of your rats population expansion and therefore,

The next problem you will probably find after you solve this is... Cat population explosion. :-)

Go for anything natural... don't use rat poison - it can contaminate the environment when the rat decomposes to the earth.

[woohoo]

Effective din laban sa mga ahas ang mga pusa! Kaya labs ko 'tong mga hinayupak na pusang ito kahit umiihi lagi sa cowl cover at sa iba pang parte ng sasakyan ko, e.

problema lang sa pusa, mahilig matulog sa taas ng hood ng ek namin kaya nag-stop ako mag-alaga ng pusa. pero ngayon na dumarami ang mga bibwit sa loob ng bahay may kitten na uli kami dito.

di ko lang alam paano iwas pa tulogin sila sa hood kasi pag binuksan ko naman ang hood, dun naman siya sa taas ng trunk natutulog

Hmmm.... masubukan nga itong mothballs method:

The Alternative Way

How many times have you ever come across the sight of your car with scratch marks and/or residue stains that were left by the cat sleeping on the hood the previous night?

I know exactly how you feel, the anger and frustration of it all; fortunately there is a solution.

Other than using your daddy's 12-Gauge shotgun, there are other options available that are more straight-forward and cheaper than you'd

think.

1. Car cover.
You could buy a cheap car cover from your local auto accessory store if you're not planning to invest in a quality cover like the ones found at your local car dealer. But be aware that cat's claws can easily tear up a weak cover. Look for covers that uses a strong material that lasts.

2. Orange Peels.
Cats absolutely hate the smell of oranges or most citrus fruits, I 'm sure there is a scientific explanation to this but I can't explain why. I use to scatter orange peels around the car and even on the car itself; not a single cat in sight. Just a friendly reminder that orange peels won't last long and will start to decompose sooner or later.

3. Mints
Cats also hate the smell of mints, but I wouldn't recommend wasting a whole pack of mentos.

4. Pepper Granules
Just like dogs, cats also hate pepper granules too. But be careful though, the pepper can get into their eyes and cause inflammation. If you decide to use pepper granules, sprinkle some around the car, the cat won't like the grittiness and will be forced to lick it off; HOT !!! It might be wise to leave a bucket of ice cold water close-by.

5. Water Sprinkler
Cats won't go near your car if its all wet and rainy looking.

6. Mothballs
Drop a few in a jar or can, cover it up and pierce a few holes on top or around the sides if using a can and leave it around the car. No cat is going to bother your car anymore.

7. Commercial Cat repellent (aerosol type)
A very obvious option that can be purchased at your local supermarket. Look for types that are organic or safe to use around children and plants, because the older type absolutely stinks and will repel you too.

^nice tips

once upon a time, a long long time ago, we had rat problem in the house and in the rice farm. i stumbled upon a chemical made by bayer germany. the concoction was zinc chloride. we used to chip the tip of snails and apply a sesame seed size of zinc chloride on the tail of the snail and set it off on the rice field. the rats took the bait and only gave them about two feet and the rats would belly up. in the house, we used cheese tainted with the same chemical giving some space for the rat to do his break dance to death. it was so effective than electricution, spring traps, cage traps and glue traps. and they do not need to learn nor warn the other rats. hopefully this zinc chloride is still available at some farm supply stores.

Racumin siguro para sa malalaking daga kahit mamatay humahanap sila ng liwanag at madaling makita.

Iyang mothballs ang masubukan...

ewan ko lang ha, sa napansin ko cat(here in the city anyways) would tend to scavenge from garbage bins instead of hunting rats. Siguro paminsan minsan they'll catch one to entertain themselves.

problema sa pusa, dumadami ( we used to have 1 or 2, now 6 na. Alaga dati ng mga construction workers, iniwan na lang pagkatapos ng project, ayun kaliwa't kanan ang pagtatalik kaya dumami), rummaging through garbage, pooping everywhere, having very loud catfights and outdoor s*x. nakakainis din.

[ghosthunter]

Although cats have natural hunting instinct, they still find it easier to scavenge for leftovers than to hunt for mice and rats.

Cats need to practice their hunting techniques so they can be effective hunters.

Cats (as kittens) need to be taught that mice and rats are food. Otherwise they will just treat them as playthings. This is generally the job of the kitten's mother. But if the kittens were adopted by people, they will lose this valuable training in their upbringing.

Tamad ang pusa kapag busog, 100% matutulog yan tapos kumain. Kahit doggie, sleep yan after mo pakainin kaya ang guard dog sa tanghali pinapakain para gising na gising sa gabi. 2 dogs ko puro malalaki daga napapatay pag nagkamali pumasok sa ilalim ng gate, swerte sila pag nakalabas pa sila. Yung isa ko, nagkasugat pa sa may nose bridgre siguro lumaban si mickey mouse kaya binigyan ko agad ng antibiotic and reward for her gallantry in action

Pero yung maliliit ng mickey mouse kaya na ng fly trap pero dapat sarado access nila galing labas kasi magiging useless lang. Male pussycat ang alagaan para di dumami, pag babae madalas disgrasyada yan pag umuwi sa yo buntis na

but don't they tend to hook with other cats in the same vicinity?

[badkuk]

if we're dealing with mice, buy the small traps at LandMark Hardware department or sa Cash n Carry; i can vouch na very effective siya. Nung kasagsagan ng mice problem, mga 7 nahuli in less than a week. Medyo nag lax kami kaya ayan meron na naman. The hunt begins again...

For the really big rats, either get the big traps or buy rat poison...just hope that they don't keel over in hard to reach areas. The last time we had a big rat in the house, we just left some racumin-laced bagoong(as recommended by posters in other forums) in the trash bin. A few days later we saw a big rat under our oven, staggering about, spitting out blood. Kinda messy but it did get the job done.

yes they do esp at night, nawawala sila para bumarkada and in the morning puyat na puyat at ayaw pa istorbo sa tulog not good in having a female cat is sa inyo manganganak and nakaka awa naman itapon mga kuting. but i can attest, mas masisipag ang babaeng pusa. male cats are more on away and rumble haha.
