The Problem With Rodent Traps
Rats are clever creatures that can learn from their environment and past experiences. They are naturally suspicious of new objects such as rodent traps. Experienced and intelligent rats know how to avoid traps by observing other rats that were caught. They can easily run around over jump over the traps. Other rats can observe this behavior and also learn from their experiences.
Traps Only Catch The Dumb And Young
Dumb and young rats are the most at risk from rodent traps because they do not know how to avoid them or even why to avoid them. Rodent traps are an artificial selection for the most intelligent rats. It’s no wonder traps are problematic.
What Is That Awful Smell?
Rodent traps allow for a easier disposal of the rat’s remains. However, they require frequent checkups to see if a rat has been caught. This is an advantage over rat pesticides because rats may die in the walls or foundation of the home. As a result, their bodies will decompose in an inaccessible area and result in a persistent malodorous scent that will linger for weeks or even months. Cleaning up will require cutting through the drywall or foundation, if you can locate the remains, and a lot of searching. This is a costly and labor-intensive process.
What Can Break A Rat’s Neck Can Break Other Things As Well
Spring-type rodent traps are potentially dangerous as they can be prone to setting off randomly or accidentally. They are strong enough to break a human being’s fingers. Furthermore, they are a danger to pets and children. Pets and children may unknowingly set off rodent traps and hurt themselves. This can result in injuries, potentially including broken bones, and veterinary or hospital fees.
Other Types Of Traps
Another form of a trap are the glue-types. Rats are instead caught by an adhesive glue spread over cardboard. Getting caught does not kill the rats and they frequently die from dehydration or starvation instead. This method can cause unnecessary animal cruelty. Additionally, the problem with the glue-type rodent traps is that dust and debris may accumulate on the traps, rendering them ineffective and in need of replacement. Sometimes, the adhesive may get caught on something other than its intended purpose, such as a pet’s fur.
