Memphis Rodent Removal Tip:

Why are mothballs and ammonia ineffective at repelling rats?
As a homeowner, you always want to keep any form of a home invader from invading your home. The job can get quite daunting most especially if you are battling with small wildlife creatures like rats. Rats are versatile creatures capable of running, climbing, and residing in different environmental conditions. These house pests are small enough to gain access into your home through cracks and crevices along the sides of your house. During the fall and winter months, their number increases exponentially as they seek a warm, safe, and cozy place with tons of food to live out the colder months. The consequences of harboring a rat infestation are certainly egregious. Apart from their annoying presence, these pesky creatures will chew through wood, electrical wires and cables, thermal insulation, books, and even clothes. These can lead to frequent power outages and fire outbreaks. This is why most people try different methods in a bid to evacuate rats from their properties. 

As a homeowner plagued by a rat infestation, you try to do everything it takes to make sure you completely get rid of the rats living in your house. This includes using unconventional means such as hanging dryer sheets and foil pie pans around areas with high rat activity. Other popular 'natural' repellents most people swear by are mothballs and ammonia. A vast majority of people are of the opinion that mothballs and ammonia are excellent rat repellents, whereas the truth proves the contrary. 

Yes, mothballs and ammonia are strong-smelling substances with a smell that is somewhat unappealing to rats. However, the smell is not potent enough to keep rats away for good. Mothballs are chemical pesticides with either paradichlorobenzene or naphthalene as the active ingredient in them. These chemicals (paradichlorobenzene and naphthalene) are high-grade fumigants, meaning they have to be in high concentrations for them to act as potential pest control agents. The naphthalene present in mothballs is in small amounts making mothballs a subpar rat repellent. It is also the same with ammonia, with both being subpar rat repellents. After a while, the rats become accustomed to the smell, and they learn how to ignore it.

Furthermore, ammonia and mothballs are dangerous for humans and pets alike. Ammonia is extremely corrosive, and if it enters your body, it combines with water to produce ammonium hydroxide, damaging cells, and body tissues. Minor exposure can cause coughing and irritation in your throat and nose. High-level exposure can lead to blindness, lung damage, and even death. Mothballs are just as harmful as ammonia. Lingering exposure leads to hemolytic anemia, which is the destruction of the red blood cells in the body. For children, lingering exposure can rigorously affect their DNA and lead to cancer.

You should opt for rat-proofing your house instead of relying on mothballs and ammonia. Carry out routine building inspections to find cracks, holes, and gaps along the sides of your house. Once located, use silicone-based caulk or any suitable material to seal them. Additionally, you should replace all damaged vents, doors, roofing, and windows. Clear out your gutters and other moist areas that serve as a breeding ground for rats. Practice proper garbage disposal and landscaping to eradicate potential hiding places. That way, you are sure of keeping rats outside your home.

In the event of you struggling with a potential or full-fledged rat infestation, contact your local wildlife control company. Wildlife control companies have standard equipment, alongside highly trained technicians to handle every wildlife pest problem. They will help you solve the problem as well as provide tips for you to make your home an impenetrable fortress. Their services are relatively cheap, and the end result is always worth the price.
