Jacksonville's Best Rodent Removal: We are a group of professionals that work to deliver the best rat removal services. Rats are difficult to control. The critters are some of the commonest pests that infest properties. Human environments provide all the necessary support that rats need. The critters will always seek susceptible human environments to infest, both indoors and outdoors. We work to keep rats away from all kinds of properties. Rats are highly dangerous pests. They destroy structures and can spread different serious diseases. This is why we focus on keeping them away from properties in the most efficient way possible. Our expertise is the removal of the critters for good. We provide high-quality solutions aimed at long-term results. We are committed to the humane removal of the critters. Even though we can apply lethal measures in getting rid of the critters, we never apply inhumane measures. We could remove the critters with snap traps, but we will not use poisons on the rats on your property. Poisons cause the critters a lot of torture, and poisoning could come with numerous negative consequences. The humane measures we apply are live trapping and lethal trapping. After we remove the critters, we restore your home to its original state. We offer post-removal services. Our post-removal services include cleanup and repair. We remove the hazardous biological materials the critters produced. We also repair the structures infested by the critters. Rats are high-risk pests, and we are professionals that help to keep them out.

Jacksonville Rodent Removal Tip:

The Myth That Poison Makes Rats Thirsty and Die Outside
If you have a rat problem in your home or in any of the buildings on your property, you are probably looking to remove them as quickly as possible. Maybe you are still deciding how you want to go about removing the rats. Should you use traps? Should you use poison? Maybe you are sold on poison because you have heard that it makes rats thirsty and they will go die outside. Continue reading to find out more about this myth, and why you should think twice about using poison to take care of your rat problem.

Does Poison Make Rats Thirsty and Die Outside?
This belief that poison makes rats thirsty and die outside has been around for years, so it is understandable why so many people believe it. If poisoning rats and mice did cause this, it would be the perfect removal method, as they would leave your home and die outside, creating no problems whatsoever. In theory, a rat would ingest the poison, become very thirsty, and go outside to find some water to drink. Then it would die outside, not being able to invade your home again. This plan would work perfectly.

The problem is that poison does not cause thirst in rodents at all. Instead, different poisons cause different reasons of death for rats. Some cause easy internal bleeding, or hemophilia, which leads the rats to die when they squeeze through tight holes or bump into objects. Some poisons make the rats not eat, causing a slower death. However, no poison for rats makes the rats thirsty and instantly go outside, as they often make the rats too weak to even attempt going outside. Oftentimes, the rodents who have ingested poison will go back to their nest or into some other hard-to-reach spot to die. So, as can be seen, the myth that poison makes rats thirsty and die outside is something of a myth, as there has never been any proof that this is the case.

Why Should I Not Use Poison?
Rat poison is inherently risky, as are most deadly or poisonous chemicals. While it is unlikely that ingesting a little bit would hurt most humans, it could definitely cause some health problems. One of the biggest problems with using poison to take care of a rat problem is that it can unnecessarily expose you and your family to potentially harmful chemicals. Another big problem would be if you have any pets that could accidentally ingest some of the poison and be harmed by it as well. Finally, another large problem with using rat poison is the fact that many times, rodents will ingest the poison and go die in the hardest places to find and remove the body. This leads to terrible smells that you can do nothing about until the carcass of the rodent is finished decaying. As can be seen, poisons can cause more harm than good in many scenarios.

Are There Any Alternatives?
One of the best ways you can avoid the danger and health risks of using poison is to look for different removal methods. One of the best ways to lethally dispatch rats is by using the good old snap trap. These snap traps have been used for decades and are still highly effective today. If you would rather opt for a humane trapping method, consider using repeater traps that leave the rats unharmed in the container. They can then be removed and set free into the wilderness. Finally, there is another option involving the use of glue traps. Glue traps are actually a good way to do it, as they will catch mice, rats, snakes, and all kinds of insects. So really these are great all-purpose pest control traps. If you want to let any pests free from the glue traps, you simply pour oil onto the adhesive and it will loosen its hold on the pest, allowing them to escape.
