Rat Repellent

Natural rat repellents may prove effective for short periods of time. Oil from the wormwood plant is reported to repel rodents for as long as a couple of days, and cedar leaf oil can also is said to deter rats. There are granular products available that claim to contain the scent of predators and are intended to repel rats. Sonic repellents emit levels of high-register sound that the maker claims drives away rodents within earshot. These repellents may keep rats from infesting. However, the most effective and lasting methods of rat control are those administered by pest control professionals. Due to the proliferation rates and health risks associated with a rat infestation, it is highly advised that homeowners enlist the services of professionals to combat existing rat populations and to help prevent future infestations.
