I recently bought 2 black cat rat traps, and a box of liquorice all sorts. Ive not caught a rat yet and I’ve eaten most of the bloody sweets. 😊
Take a look at our video on how to set them. Maybe get a lockable box for the Allsorts though! 🤣

As a pest controller myself, it’s good to see another pest controller using traditional methods : break back traps and finding the reason there are rats. Also good to see that no poison is being used
Sadly we are in a minority it seems! But time will tell. Hopefully rodenticide will be taken off the market, then, the likes of us good pest controllers will be in a fantastic position 😊
@@PestInterceptorsagreed
i'm not a pest controller and neither are the cowboys who use the poisons. All they are controlling is where they put it and how much they are charging, on the off chance they get lucky with the placement they are just changing a live infestation into a dead infestation, i can only imagine it leaving a wake of rotting corpses in wall cavities or like in that loft.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO‼️This guy really knows his stuff❗️
@@Sunnytrailrunner thank you ☺️
The most professional video of a service ive ever seen. Brilliant, very informative and a treat to watch.
Thank you 🙏🏼 Lots more to come….and we hope we are getting better. ☺️
I had a guy from Derby come into my home & check to make sure we were not infested. Before he came I made sure I took pics & when he took me into my first loft he showed me a lot of droppings. I didn’t have any he just ripped me off. Glad I’ve seen yourselves as I know who to call your not far from me. Great video.
Pest controllers don't carry droppings in our pockets. I smell a rat here. No pun intended.
@@Cornz38 Some would I'm sure. Like with any trade, there's always going to be the odd dodgy one.
That's why I put frog flaps on the outlet of my septic pipe (and the grey water) into the septic tank - so rodents or even Cockroaches can't migrate back up the pipes into the house.
I put three plastic bags of commerical rat poison in a rat trap. They ate all the poison, they ate the bags and they came back and ate the plastic trap as well. I've still got rats.
I think you need to watch some more of our rat playlist 😉 kzhead.info/channel/PLMSQuVC3ns4-tXLSQM476D3ek4Us1VWhN.html
have you considered making a movie
I think many people are, understandably, mistaking a guarantee of no rats in a house for one of no rats on the property.
Love your enthusiasm 😀
Thank you! 😁
We moved house about 3 years ago. Beautiful property, backing onto farmers fields. Nice large back garden with a small shed. Just after we moved in we spotted a large (about a foot long) rat in our cranberry tree. We later discovered a large network of tunnels going under the fence into the farmers field. (although there's actually a ditch between our back fence and the crop itself. Then we saw several rats gong under the shed (the floor was sitting on 4x4s and there was also a hole in the wooden floor, obviously created by the rats chewing their way in). So we were getting more and more concerned about our rat problem. We needn't have worried, we have two cats and two Pomeranians that seem to have taken care of the problem for us. Our tom cat stays out all night seems to be our most powerful little warrior. Sometimes we'd find about a dozen dead rats in our garden in the morning. During the day we even saw him catching a rat as our female cat just sat watching him. We have also seen her despatch the odd rat during the day but she's nothing like as efficient as our tom. He'll drag them out of the tunnels then despatch them pretty quick with a bite to the back of the neck. As for the dogs, they make a lot of noise and frighten the rats away, but I've never seen them actually catch a rat. It's been over two years now since I've seen a rat on our property. We also dug a trench below the fence and filled it with concreate, so that probably helps. We also laid a concreate base for the shed and moved it to a completely different part of the garden and repaired it's flooring. The neighbours on one side are grateful that, they too, seem to have no more problems with rats which they put down to our cats. Meanwhile, the neighbour on the other side doesn't like cats and would shoo our cats off her property if they ever dared go over there (so they don't any more). This neighbour still has a problem with rats in her garden and they petrify her.
It sounds like a lovely theory, but I’m not sure it’s all down to the cat. One pregnant female rat (with enough food and shelter) can become 200 rats in twelve months. If you extrapolate that over a few years you can imagine the numbers. So unless you have a cat killing 200 rats a year…..see what I mean? It’s more likely that someone nearby has used poison. I guess it could be your cat. But even if it were a team of cats it would be impressive. And you would be finding dead rats everyday. Great results though and keep up the good work. 👍🏼
@@PestInterceptorsBut to be clear, we've never had rats inside this house. And the infestation we had in our yard was not connected with the sewers. These rats live in the countryside in burrows they make in the ground. To wipe them out entirely we'd have to cleans the entire British countryside. There are millions of them. We'll never eradicate them all, but with so much freedom, they're free to go elsewhere. It's not a matter of wiping out their entire population, it's just a matter of making our property unattractive to them. If their burrows are being invaded on a regular basis, they'll abandon it and move on.
@@PestInterceptors It would be extremely rare for a cat kill a fully grown rat. You may see a cat carryong one but it doesnt mean hes killed it. Probably poisened,

Thanks so much for this hugely informative and encouraging video. Am on the edge of a small, busy town and a beautiful AONB, and the rats trot across the footpaths in front of pedestrians.
Oh no, I’d have to move towns, I loathe mice 🐁 but rats are something else. 😩
@@wendyhannan2454 Oh for me it is opposite, but we do not have that meny rats and you only see the occasional rat washing itself when on the street in the morning before the city wakes up. I do not mind at all. If there's anything which disgusts me it is mice! They shit everywhere they stink and they make terrible noise at night. Mice allso live inside the house while rats over here have their burrows in the street.
rats are nice, they need to live too.
@@wendyhannan2454 I've seen rats as big as cats dancing in the alleyways of London, UK.
I live in the Arizona desert where mesquite trees flourish. When the mesquite pods ripen, the rodents gather them up and store them in their nests so they have an almost constant food supply. I also have neighbors who feed the birds. I tried trapping them for 6 months and caught an average of 1 rodent per day, but they were breeding faster than I could trap them. (If nothing happens to them, one breeding pair can turn into 1,250 rats/mice in one year, and in 3 years can multiply to 1/2 a billion!). The traps were in locked bait boxes, but so far I've found about 4 dead birds in the rat traps. So traps don't prevent non-target creatures from being killed either. I tried cornmeal and baking soda but they wouldn't touch it. So finally I resorted to using rodent bait which is working. (I put chicken wire over the bait boxes to keep the birds out). I don't have rodents inside of any of my buildings and they aren't coming out of the septic tank or sewer pipes (which are all new). But they've chewed wires outside, torn the insulation off a vehicle hood, chewed through the windshield washer tubing, made a nest behind a glove box, destroyed veggies in my garden, and they've left trails of urine and feces all over, and I'm not going to put up with that. I'm going to keep poisoning them for a while longer, but eventually I will switch to feeding the survivors Conntraceptol, which is rat/mouse birth control.
Yes, external rats are harder to deal with than internal ones sometimes. In your case it sounds like a nightmare situation. I think what we would do in your situation is a regime of burrow baiting (as much as we hate using rodenticides it sometimes is the only answer!). Burrow baiting, if done correctly, is unlikely to affect other wildlife and it helps get over neophobia as the rats have to dig/chew through it to leave burrows. Find a rodenticide that can be used for this; I don’t know the laws and products in other countries. Bag the bait up in plastic bags. (Grain bait isn’t great, use a pasta or block bait). Push the bags into the rats burrows. Cover with soil and then a large stone/rock. (This prevents non targets getting to it). Do this every seven days until the holes stop reappearing. Then remove the rodenticide. Keep going until there is zero activity, you don’t want to leave any survivors! As for the vehicle problem, in the UK, there is a company called Lodi based in Kingswinford, West Midlands, England. They do a product that keeps rats away from vehicles and I have heard great feedback about this product. Get in touch with them and I’m sure they will send you some (kindly mention us when you do enquire). Best of luck.
Cooking flour 50% dry mix with plaster of Paris place dry undercover and renew regularly , sets in their guts
Newer vehicles use soy-based wiring insulation which attracts rodents.
Great video bloke. Well done. I'm a professional pest controller and I only use baits that have no secondary poisoning here in Australia.
Is that using the vitamin D based products my friend?
What is the toxin?
@@johnmead8437 usually vitamin D in these products.
@@PestInterceptors Cholecalciferol was one D3 formulation developed for Brushtail possums (NZ) that also got rats. Cannot comment how % effective it was, it was a paste & used it with the possum bait inside a paste ball. It got enough of the rats to enable some lure/paste to attract the possums.& they got the cyanide pill. But it was expensive. And dogs, and pigs would take it if oportunity happened, like in their reach or dropped out of teh bait bags stapled up high. I think cats did too. Was 25 years ago, dementia.... For PR for farmers without pets we used it,& got good feedback. It wasn't particularly toxic for cows, one got about 10 bags (not cyanide ones) so probably 300g, the vet told us not to panic & she seemed to like it. Wasn't an issue for milk contamination etc either.
@@PestInterceptors Not up with current research, but the widespread field use (probably 50kg in a couple of months) showed D3 took its time, and curing non-target mistakes was prolonged intensive care, if it was successful. This was when it first became available here, improvements may have been made. Its expense made its use at scale unattractive. The anticoagulant alternatives had the secondary poisoning issues. The science has now shifted from considering 1080 a poor rat poison to using it at scale for eradication attempts (google ZIP New Zealand). This stuff wouldn't be acceptable for standard pest control, it's good away from mammals & has a lot of rubbish directed at it, but it slays scavenging dogs & having idiots anywhere near it is a real risk, it's deadly with no antidote. That counts out about 50% of humans....
Here's a trick I learned by accident for catching mice. We had chicken scratch feed in a metal trash can with a lid. One day after feeding I didn't push the metal lid down on the trashcan. The lid was on the can but one part had a small gap between the lid and the can. The can was almost empty with about 1/4 inch of feed completely covering the bottom inside of the trashcan. The next day I went to get feed out of the can and 4 mice were inside the can. It was the best mouse trap I ever had.
This may sound crazy to most people but it’s true. What you describe above, if done intentionally, would be illegal in the UK and many other countries. It would be breaking animal welfare laws if there was no water and food left for the rodents and the ‘trap’ would need to be checked every 12 hours to make sure no distress was being caused to the trapped animals. Laws are great aint they 🙈🤣
Very crazy! But those same people who make those ordinances and statutes are the first to pull an old widow out of her home and throw her into a careless facility because she's got a rodent infestation!
Unfortunately parliament is full of them they promise much but deliver little.
Perhaps the Pest Interceptors should run in the election…we always deliver our promises.
Just found this channel . . I work on a Golf Course as the mechanic and also shoot anything that's not playing Golf if I have to . . . Like you I don't kill for no reason. If it's causing damage it has to go. I control the vermin. . Moles, Grey's and eat the pigeons. I love all vermin removal info. My last Boss/Head greenkeeper used to say "there's a mole in the rough at the side of (some green, tee or fairway)" I'd say OK I'll pop some traps in. . . . I'd pop a few traps in looking like they were the business and just leave them (they were in blind holes) ha ha ha ha boss never knew. . . . If the mole came out of the rough/long grass and onto a fairway, green bank or tee . . . I would then put traps in "properly" and that's that. . . a lot of times the rough grass grew up to obscure the mole hills and he was non the wiser. Only take them if you really have to. . . live and let live.
This was a great video. I need someone like you to help me in Australia. We have a few issues very similar to this video ... old unused septic tank, no manhole to roof cavity as is a flat roof, bamboo (that will be getting cut back tomorrow), plenty of overgrowth of other plants and a big wood stack. The rats are in my en-suite wall and so far nothing has worked consistently. I've put up with it for 3 years and I know previous owners had issues too. I really wish I could find someone invested in helping me to solve the problem once and for all and give me a rat free lifetime guarantee too..
Hi the drain rod that’s stuck in the drain was possibly pulled down when a blockage cleared you would be surprised how much suction you can get especially if the blockage is backing up the soil pipe. Good job with the video 👍
Thanks for the info
It wasn't pulled down, because the rod was push upstream. If you have metal drain rods, and a hook fitting - you can push it upstream also, hook the rod, and simply pull it out (I owned a drainage company for over 20 years). Also.... most septic tanks lead to soakaways, and they most certainly do not have drains running for miles.
I have been running a constant trapline for rats all over my property, for most of 10 years. I control any foods, any shelters, and still get constant mice and rats all the colder months. When the snakes wake up, the rat and mouse problem stops, except in the garden. As it gets cold, they're getting in again. Control outside and indoor trouble is less.
Look for the source. It’s nearly always drainage/sewer. Think about it. If you have a nest of rats nearby and you kill them all that’s the end of the rats. No rats = no new rats. Rats in sewers are so numerous that you’ll never kill them all. Or you can do the same for another ten years ☺️
I respect you a lot for what you do, keep killin it!
Thank you 🙏🏼

We all live in countries run by rats!
The septic tanks should have 'dropper pipes' in them on the inlet and outlet, and where you said that the drain was broken and allowing vermin in, was immediately below a fence post...
Broken drains allow rats out of the system not in. Good job we have armchair experts like you about though Paul 😉
I’m catching most rats in live traps in the garden 2 neighbours are putting down excessive bird seed etc .
This is a problem because if there is food one rat can become 200 in a year. Do you will need to catch lots 😊
@@PestInterceptors you won’t stop them , they think there being kind to birds but causing infestation of rodents which even invade there property , nowt queer but folk.
You can make them stop their silliness by getting the Council Environmental Health involved. There is legislation that they can use.
Put the rats in their mailboxes.
The mechanical trap is inhumane in my opinion.Used them once years ago with massive rat problem and although some rats were killed instantly, some were impaled across the shoulder and were alive ages later in obvious pain.
Buy some better quality traps then 😊
Rats make me so squimish that I had a hard time watching parts of this video. Thank GOODNESS for people like you who can handle this work! I worry about your health. When you’re in enclosed spaces, like attics, I hope you’re wearing masks and eye protection. I would love an episode on protecting your health while treating enclosed spaces ☺️

Rats and mice have always been my phobia and I am just about to purchase my first house (always lived up high in apartments prior) and am very conscious of this particular subject. Also, something I will not be installing is garden decking. Although it can be both attractive and practical, it has got to be one of the biggest attractions for nesting rats/mice. Something I would not install for the sake of minimising the issue. Overall though, the ways you have shown in this video how they can enter the house from outside, it seems an impossible and endless task of totally eradicating them.
@pestinterceptors, what about rats with tunnels in the stone ground under the ground of the property, they have tunnels, any suggestions? Love the vids
Try this (but be aware that this won’t work if the rats are coming from drainage under the house, only fir surface rats). kzhead.info/sun/Y6p9dtZpgoKYenk/bejne.html

Preferred to use a bucket with a ramp. I put a spindle through the top of the bucket with a little bit of peanut butter on it. They've tried to walk on the spindle they fall off into the bottom of the bucket. Don't forget to put water in the bucket
But it doesn’t get to the root cause does it. The rats will be back.
Illegal
But I'm sure rats can swim
@@bxxmb80 yes they can for many days. That’s why these bucket traps are vile and inhumane things to use and are illegal in the uk because of animal welfare laws.
I live rural in Texas and I truly suffer with the infernal creatures. Over the past 2 years I've gone through 30 pounds of farm grade rat poison,lost a dozen traps to big ones carrying them off. My dogs and cat are expert rat killers.I've destroyed nesting areas in my yard and sealed chew holes in the walls as they appear. They've literally eaten through my walls. I feel so defeated. Everytime I think I've got them gone...a new more indestructible generation shows up. All I can figure is until the surrounding neighbors (a dozen or so clumped up old mobile homes all the way around me) deal with their end of it, I'll just be plagued. Nothing works anymore.
Rats are nearly always coming from a broken sewer or drain. You need a cctv survey of your sewer system. 👍🏼
And using poisons can kill the native animals, especially the owls and other predators, that might help kill the rats.
@@Wisepati I think you’ll love our latest videos. I have a rant about rodenticide misuse. It’s not just the general public who are at fault, it’s the big pest control companies who are usually the worst offenders in the uk. We are going to try to stop them 👍🏼
We are in west london and when we moved into this house 3 years ago there were rats everywhere. I coaxed a family of foxes to live under our decking, not seen a rat since!
@MsMom, I live in rural Australia. Your problem was my nightmare too. The destruction these rodents cause is devastating & costly. I too have used everything I heard of or advertised, only to throw heaps of food & other items on a constant basis. A very old neighbour suggested I mix cornmeal & soda bicarb together, & throw in just abit of sugar, of course I didn't try it as I had spent so much money on poisons, etc & this seemed to 'basic' Frustration with the stinky rats/mice made me try, less than 3 weeks 🤞, they almost but disappeared. This mix is safe on all other animals including birds & is cheap. Rats/mice can't burp/fart, the soda causes them to bloat to death. I've cleaned up any places around/in the house of hiding spots, no food left opened, etc Chicken feed is placed in galvanised feeders, no rodents can get to it & no scraps left on ground. I'm not sure the result for others, but this plain, basic mix has been literally a life saver for us,. Anyone who has had to 'live' with these dirty rodents, you have nothing to lose, give it a go 👍
Since I have had a patterdale terrier I have not seen one rat at my rural home in the Highlands, whereas previously they were certainly very evident.
A fantastic dog. You will find it can’t get rats that are living in your house wall though or under the floors.
I often think terriers are the kindest solution. Ive never had a dog so I don't know if they need to be trained, but in 'the old days' terrier men would come to your property. Nowadays sadly, teriier men are mostly employed in helping to hunt innocent badgers.
@@helenswan705 we never like to kill anything if we can avoid it, even rats! Most of our rat free guarantee jobs we don’t kill any rats at all.

Interesting liked the presentation of your videos Sadly I am miles away from you in Harrow Middlesex Our problem mice/rat and Chicken coup. We keep chickens at home we find rats.”mice comes around in the chicken run in night digging tunnel under the chicken wire fencing We don't won't to poison just in case our chickens eat their droppings. How can. We catch and get rid Thanks
One thing you can try is to keep the spilled chicken feed at a minimum. There are feeders that only open when the chicken treads on a treadle plate. When there is very little free food for the rats you can use rat traps in bait stations. Also try to track where the rats are coming from, there is nearly always a sewer/drain problem somewhere. We do travel all over the uk but only with our Rat Free Guarantee program, but that’s mainly aimed at rats in houses. www.pestinterceptors.co.uk/rat-free-lifetime-guarantee
Great video as always. Just a quickie from one pestie to another. Do you offer a contract for the rat flap ? I offer a twice yearly to check its functioning 100% what's your thoughts ? Cheers
Not a bad idea.
I moved back to where my husband grew up to be closer to family... its the rattiest place in our country. People's attitudes about it is the problem, i hear them say "there's nothing you can do, that's life" about rats. Just gross. They practically feed them and give them plenty of places to live. Its so weird. Why not just do the things necessary so your property isn't a rat haven?
As we prove time and time again. You don’t have to live with rats ☺️
“Not here to kill for killing sake” so true a word pest control is about control and management. As a country boy myself if you got fellow wildlife all is good if they don’t bother you then it’s live and let live. If they won’t move in and impact your livelihood or health then you need the extreme measures.
@geraldevans9782 and lets not forget that legally, in the UK, the least toxic method must always be used first in every instance.

I have rats under my shed. Spent a small fortune on poison but they just seem to love the stuff. They also somehow manage to remove the food from traps i put down even when i tie it on with string!
Just think of all the other animals you’ve killed by secondary poisoning 🤷♂️ Perhaps it’s time to stop the poison no?

You don't have a rattus abundance, you have a feline deficiency.
Never underestimate a rat 😂
We never do.
not for nothing humans hate them, because they ressemble humans so closely.
The Rat Flap is the best invention. No need to kill the poor critters. Just cut them off at the pass. If you have Rats in your attic or house the drains/sewers in the first place to investigate. Some Pest Control companies won't even fit them. Far easier for them to keep coming out laying traps and/or poison. You can then provide them with an ongoing revenue stream. And yes I am speaking from experience.
The flap is only as good as the knowledge of the person fitting it though. We go out to houses with 20 year rat problems with flaps fitted everywhere. In fact we have a video coming out in the near future where we show the flaps and the suggested £6000 further work they needed to do as the flaps hadn’t worked. I think you’ll enjoy that video. We really go to town on the quote in the video. The hilarious and yet sad thing was that the extra £6k still wouldn’t have solved his problems! We did though….in 5 hours. 😇✅
Hello pest interceptors you might want to try a old rag/cloth with Nutella/peanut butter around the kill trigger/thank you for teaching me about the flaps definitely going to get some just got to find them now 😂keep up the good work 👍
In amsterdam we have underground containers every 50 to 100 meters in the street where everyone can dispose of his garbage 24-7 there are some rats, because they allso dive for mussels in the canals etc, never seen a rat inside my house. When walking at 5 in the morning you see a rat washing itself by the side of the canal and I think them kind of cute.
All animals have their place. You sure those rats haven’t been to a coffin shop and gotten the munchies? 😉
@@PestInterceptors I was wondering what rats would do in a "coffin shop" but I guess you meant coffee shop, and I think they might consume some spacecake if they can get it, but jokes aside, there are rats in every neighbourhood in Amsterdam, but because of trashbins which are on stainless steel poles, and the possibility of disposing garbage underground 24/7 people dont have to keep their garbage on balconies, the numbers are far lo9wer than what I've seen in videos about rats in new york which is quite disgusting. Anyway we allso have lots of herons in the city as well as buzzards, so when rats eat too much that they become obese and slow they risk to become dinner. I think outside the city center with the red light district most people don't really mind the occasional rat. Biggest problem is that they make burrows under the sidewalks and cousing the tiles to become uneven. If there is a pest in my neighbourhood it is mice, and the terrible noise they make at night. But even mice leave the house if you dont feed them.
Did I miss your solution for the compost bin and the wood heap?
Yes. Sewers. Like this: kzhead.info/channel/PLMSQuVC3ns49OZlSE012w7J1eaADc6V7o.html

Top job. . . Essentially u want to eliminate all access to the house. Out of interest how much would a job like this cost and when u say a lifetime guarantee, do u mean no rats in the house or no rats in the whole of house & lot? The reason I ask is rats can always take up residence in the outdoor area around the house.

Gday from Downunder. Actually, I live at the tropical end and in the country so we also get our fair share of rats. They are most certainly clever and formidable opponents. A very informative video and extremely well presented. We likewise use mechanical traps and inventions to avoid poison due to our fragile environment. Just about to try out the pneumatic traps from New Zealand by Goodnature. Worth a look being that your company is environmentally responsible. It is great to see and your company should be commended for their effort.
How’s that NZ trap going?? We might buy one…in Brisbane
@@barsixful They get a reasonable percentage but like many traps, about 1 in 5 needs something extra (maybe technique). From eradication point of view, they are hyped. They can get rid of the majority of rats leaving few to deal with by other means. But there is potential for them to cause wariness. They're a tool, like most other traps. And no doubt sometines they get a really effective kill.
I wish you lived in New York City, could really use your help!
We are always up for a paid vacation 😎
Reminds me of the scene in the movie Brazil when government contractors go in to fix the thermostat and someone switches their ventilators and hooks them up to the sewer hose. Glad you guys got your proper PP and hope you have your proper papers. Crack on boys!
Better safe than sorry
Greetings From FISHBURN Co DURHAM .thank you sir ,
You are welcome
I used 3 simple Snap Traps from B & Q with a smear of cheese as bait, nothing more exotic or technical than that…RESULT💪
If the rats were internal…they will be back. Watch our other videos to find out why. kzhead.info/channel/PLMSQuVC3ns4-tXLSQM476D3ek4Us1VWhN.html
top job 👌👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Question: is it true that once a trap killed a rat, other rats sense the danger and don't go to that trap..? If yes, what do we do to clean the trap of prior rat kill...? tnks
No. Quite often you will see rats eat the dead rat in the trap. Take a look at this video. RAT TRAPS & RAT FLAPS is all we need!!! IDIOT customer!!!! kzhead.info/sun/epSriZmDeH2ioK8/bejne.html
Got a cat who is brutal he would be in the SAS if he was in the Army you name it he has killed it lol. Even a rabbit climbed over the fence and tried to get through the cat flap with it I was on the floor laughing so much 🤣. I have only ever seen a rat in my garden once and my dog caught it and killed it. Never seen my dog behave like that he is a good boy a golden retriever. No puncture marks he shook it to death even gentle killing a rat !
We may have a job offer for your cat and dog!
What a nice dog.. I could always tell a rat that was killed by my last cattle dog, everything he killed had a fang hole straight through it's skull
Why hasn't anyone figured on having the inlet pipe from the house into the cesspit a little higher than the outlet? So that when the outlet backs up to the cesspit and the rats swim in it, the pipe to the house is too high for the rats to reach. it only has to be at least 4, maybe 6 inches...
There’s a million dollar idea for you. 👍🏼
Rats in the US learn very fast. If another rat gets sick or dies after eating something, the rest wont touch it. If they see a rat get caught in a trap, they stay away too.
Same here it’s called conditioned learning. Add to that neophobia and they can be a real challenge. Try this: kzhead.info/sun/dc6lfpp9qIGjnIE/bejne.html
And they also eat their brother that was killed in the trap...
I just discovered mouse " blankets", 6 ft by 15". They can't jump them. I live in the Mountains, we've had a horrible problem for a few years since we switched from using pine sol to swifter mop pads. I finally figured out they hate pine sol and the mouse blankets picked up 8 mice the first night. After the first week of catching a lot, its slowing down and seeing no new mouse feces. My house is 7800 sq. Ft, 3 stories so its been a nightmare. I think these are really made for barns, shops etc. They can be easily cut up into smaller pieces! Good luck!
That’s a new one on us!
Do you cover Essex? I moved into a house with a rat problem nearly 20 years ago, but I don't really want to use the chemicals that can harm my pet cats
Sorry to hear that your situation! Sadly it is something we hear all too frequently! Yes, we cover the entire UK but only with our Rat Free Lifetime Guarantee service. Here is the website page you will need to tell you everything you need to know. www.pestinterceptors.co.uk/rat-free-lifetime-guarantee
Then use traps. Most domestic cats won't eat bait and would likely need to eat a fair few rats / mice to get a dose of secondary poisoning. Go check the LD50 and you'll see that rodenticide is not as lethal to cats as a cat would have to eat a GREAT deal more than a couple of rats. And of course, you should check for dead / dying rats when using rodenticide anyway.
@@Cornz38 you shouldn’t be using it at all unless there are no other options.
I worry about rats and Weils disease as I have a dog!!! Not seen any rats in my rural garden but have noted a couple of single rat holes over the last few years ...how do you know if the holes are still being used ? So glad you don't use rodenticids. I have lots of voles and shrews and wood mice as well as tawny & little owls here. Horrible seeing the little dead voles ....
Just fill the holes with soil. If they reappear….you’ve probably got rats.
@@PestInterceptors ...obvious now you have pointed this out ! Thank you.
@@PestInterceptors Regularly used holes have worn smooth bottoms & sides. Spider webs etc usually appear quire rapidly if not being swept aside by the occupant.
@@johnmead8437 glad to hear you are learning from our videos. 👍🏼
Poor rats. I back onto woodland my cat sometimes bring them home. I rescue and release if she hasn’t killed it. I would never dream about calling in pest control unless they were in my house. I have squirrels and I feed them! Lovely little animals
When you turn profile you look just like Brian Cranston in the show Your Honor. 😊
I get called a Gordon Ramsey lookalike a lot when I’ve had a shave 🤷♂️🤣 (I’m only bearded in the winter months) Take a look at out newer videos. Let me know what you think. I don’t see it myself 🤣
In the Netherlands we to have rats in the government, can you take care of it?
It is criminal what they are doing to your great country.
I take a box of corn meal muffin mix with equal parts of baking soda pets can belch and expel gas but not mice or rats.
Do the rats explode? 🙈
We live in the city, in an ground level apartment, next to a rain pond and a little stream. It's a rat paradise. Our tomcat and the terriers keep the rodents away from the house we live in.
Not if they come into your house through the drains they won’t 😊
YOU DON'T NEED TO LIVE WITH RATS... good advice time to kick out my brother ! 😂
Can’t help you with that rat I’m afraid. 🤣
I like to C U do here in Australia when the have mouse plague. Cheers Graham.
We only do guaranteed rat work buddy 😀 When I come up with a way of doing the same for mice I’ll come straight over and sort it out for you 😜
I had a rat problem but I got Johhny "fingers" Ravioli, and Tony "meatball" Ragou to give him a pair of concrete slippers.
🤣🤷♂️
Fantastic vid
Thanks for the visit
What makes bamboo so loved by rats? Is it the dense undergrowth?
Absolutely. It’s super tough too so stops predators from getting through it but lots of small gaps for rats to slip through, back to their rat holes.
@@PestInterceptors thanks for the response! And usefull info as well. My neighbor has some rats around his chicken coop but can't find the nests. They might be around the bamboo at the end of his property then. I'll tell him to bait up the area so they get comfy and we'll have us a fun night of pesting with the airguns
Excellent information. New Subscriber. You’re gonna need some more baits.
These are the best: kzhead.info/sun/ad1qgNGOmJtsdHA/bejne.html
Clean daily with pine sol not the cheap version though must be the 💯 percent an pour some around basebords behind stove, fridge mop and clean daily . They will leave they can't stand the smell.
Even if that did work (and we don’t believe it does, if things like that had any scientific basis we would use them) you would still have rats in your walls, floors and ceilings. We hear old wives tales like this one all the time, and as we said above, if it worked we would be using it. Sadly people get mixed signals when using old wives tale remedies. Usually a neighbour has put some poison down or something similar. It then seems like the old wives tale worked….but it’s just bad science. Thank you for your input though. We are always happy to hear ideas. Ps. When we do our Rat Free Lifetime Guarantee for clients they have usually had rats for years and years and have tried every old wives tale there is.
Thank you for your videos. I watched a few of them but unfortunately you're not nearby me you are I believe in the UK I am in the United States so I am having an issue with rats in my yard like this I live near a city plenty of neighbors no farm animals my neighbor doesn't live in their house but they have a lot of brush leaves vines, I believe a old pool that's not in any use just a bunch of debris over there myself. We have a few dogs that their poop is around the yard. Of course I do have a pile of wood, but they had destroyed my vehicles. I have expensive cars they've been outsmarting me with every single trap bait, etc., hard to put poison because my stupid dog will eat it everything that I put non-poison the dogs will eat it so not only does the rats out smart me so my dogs so my question I have I found a few Burroughs a few nesting in my vehicles. what do you recommend doing and you've mentioned in one of your videos chemical that gets rid of the scent so maybe I could spray that along and around my vehicles there is no company in the United States. That will guarantee the way you do. Please advise.
I absolutely love your enthusiasm 👍👍
Thank you 😁
We have rats under our chicken shed. First we catched rats in traps with nuts then almonds then oats then Nutella or peanut butter or bacon. But meanwhile they learned and do not touch any traps. They are too clever...
Take a look at our rats playlist or the trapping playlist. You may learn a truck or two to outsmart those rats.
@@PestInterceptors thanks. I will watch. May be I should get some of your plastic UK traps. Meanwhile they know my German old school wooden traps...
@@SD_Alias we rarely use anything other than Black Cat rat traps. 👍🏼
@@PestInterceptors I will get two of them and try them...
@@PestInterceptors Well they are quite expensive. 41€ for a pack of two. Are they long lasting? Did the traps ever brake? I wonder if the plastic casing becomes brittle over time due to the hard impact of the spring?
I work with a load off rats, there all in bosses office,
🤣🤣🤣
Can i ask a sincere question? And do you welcome feedback at all? I'm a new subscriber to the channel and thoroughly enjoying watching your videos on pest control. You obviously possess a veritable trove of knowledge with regards to the craft. And you are obviously confident in your methods and techniques by the guarantee you offer. I've picked up on a couple of things though and would be interested to get your feedback on it if that's ok? You seem quite confrontational in disposition, and often make remarks about the knowledge and experience you've acquired over the years. Do you deal with a lot of negative comments and trolls on this platform? I understand that pest control is probably one area where you get bombarded with ignorant comments. Unfortunately this industry intersects with modern trends around environmentalism, veganism and the usual moral sanctimony that odious people like to parrot because they think it makes them a good person. So any humane dispatching of pests is met with ridiculous outcry. Has that had an effect on your channel and subsequently shortened your patience with people? I just wanted to find out if that was the case because i really enjoy the content. Many thanks
We don’t suffer fools gladly. Why should we? As for the environmentalist and vegans, we hate needless damage to the environment, we also hate those who go around killing for killings sake; and both are illegal to do as a business anyway in the UK. We are the only company in the uk, probably the world, who offer a guaranteed rat riddance service that is vegan friendly. We do this because we can and we have the skills to do it. Christan is as from being vegan as you could get as he lives as a carnivore for months on end, but he supports other people’s choices and loves animals very much indeed. The only bad feedback we get is from other pest control people who can’t do what we do or don’t understand why we do what we do and couldn’t do it even if they wanted to. Is this reply confrontational in your opinion? The only reason we ask is because some people get confused between other people’s being confident in their abilities and beliefs, and somehow find it offensive just because they don’t have the same ability or skill sets.
Ok, I'm at my wits end in rural America. My neighbor loves birds. So it begins... She feeds the birds seeds of course, then salad, fruits, breads, everything top of the line. She could be feeding the homeless if she would let them in her backyard. I told her I had rodents and she said to me, "Oh dear, I guess you'll give me rats". #&#* I had to walk away, we live in the mountains with big fat rats who come off the mountain to be fed. I have been doing exclusion work for 3 years and I am still not done. I'm no young spring chicken anymore and it's just me. I have practically rebuilt this house since I moved here 12 years ago. I lived in a large city for 50 years and I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have the A24 traps, humane traps, poison I have prepped for winter setting in as they use my house for lodging and go elsewhere to eat, and I know where.
We feel your pain and frustration! Have you ever thought about the sewer/drainage? We strongly advise that you get a cctv survey done of yours and your neighbours drainage. You will never kill all the rats in the sewers. Fix the problem fix the rats. Good luck. Check out more of our videos and it will help you understand/see.
What a job! Will a rat attack an old cat? My cat was attacked by a fox but we have seen a rat in the garden so fat lot of good having a fox in the garden!
Fun question, has anyone said you look like the late and great Robin Williams?
Not for a few years.
Rats depend on water, not only to drink, but for ammo to continually urinate and lay down scent. If you can limit any water access, the rats will not infest.
Yeah, that’s how we do it! That’s how we are the only pest control company to offer a rat free lifetime guarantee. You’ve sussed out our secret!!! We make the rats thirsty 🤫🙄🙈🤣 And anyway, how are you going to do that exactly??? Maybe control the weather and stop it raining forever? 🤷♂️😆
@@PestInterceptors No, smart-arse-but in the house. No water avail, no rats. Talking about city plumbing, not septic tanks.
@@josephcooper6692 well considering rats can survive without water for over a month as they can extract water from their food, and very few houses are completely sealed to stop a rat getting from the inside to the outside, and add to that the rats are nearly always coming from a sewer (as they were in this house) that is full of water…..does my smart arse need to go on????
I wish you operated in South Africa
It would be nice to be in the sun!
Hi what is the trap on your shorts video where you have a metal bar hangs down and put a toy mouse on it to snap it down im in stoke on trent thanks
@markatkinson5838 This one kzhead.info/sun/Y9WdYLORoHtmfIE/bejne.htmlsi=ekxHooL4l2LnNzhf
Hi thanks for rapid reply its the doc15 thankyou
Yeah maybe that's where I'm getting some rats coming in my garage from the old suspect not being used for 40 years I have to go down there and block the hole looks like not sure how they made it into the garage though concrete floor single wall edible mice being my major problem worse than rats. I'm assuming you put a u bend on the waist pipe, do you put a bend and pipe under the water going into the sespic? I don't think rats can dive? What is that spray stuff in the left? Where do you buy that from? Better get some.
Nearly all rats in houses in the uk are something to do with drain or sewer. Take a look in our playlists the rat one covers all our rat videos but there are playlists on rat flaps and sewer surveys too. The rat problems will have nothing to do with the mice problems. But we have playlists about them also.
In the daytime do all of these rats go in those boroughs how do I find more than the ones I found thankfully they're not in the house yet but I am trying to prevent them from coming in there. I have a quarter of an acre land.
@guymiller9212 see my other reply 👍🏼
To me. This is the only one. Or to others?
Best rat poison ever: Peanut butter and plaster of paris mixed. They devour it. Get thirsty. Plaster freezes up and they die within minutes.
That’s why no professional pest control company uses it 🤔🤣
I'm glad to see Robin Williams still working
I used to be his stunt double!!! Now I have to do feckin pest control!
Hi Guys, I have rat holes in the garden, can I just fill the holes in with gravel?
It depends. @goobydingbat1027 Are the rats going in from above ground or are they coming up from the sewer below. If they are coming from the sewer you will fill the sewer with gravel and then cause a blockage and it will cause a build up of poop which is food for more rats. So the thing to do is fill the holes loosely with paper and then fill over the paper with soil. When the holes reappear, is the soil and paper on top of the surface? Or has it just disappeared down the hole. If it’s just disappearing down the hole then the rats are coming from below ground, usually the sewer or drain.
Best rat catcher I've ever had the absolute pleasure to have is THE PLUMMER TERRIER. They will never ever give in, complete psychopaths when it comes to rats.
Very true, we miss our two Lakeland/Border terriers. They were lean mean killing machines! But it is better to stop the rats at their source…like we do ☺️
