Bait Cage has experimented with various methods of encouraging rats to stop and feed at the traps. Using night vision cameras, we looked at locations and shelters where traps were placed and observed various degrees of rat comfort levels. We noticed that rats do not necessarily like to feed where they shelter, with baited traps right next to rat nests that were ignored. We found that rats do not like entering a small hole unless it expands into a large space with several different exits. A small box or similar was ignored. We also observed that rats move very quickly when...

Defeating Rat Infestations: Introducing Bait Cage - Your Ultimate Solution! Rats have been a persistent problem for humanity throughout history, with the infamous Black Plague serving as a chilling reminder of their dangers.

Keep in mind that the main purpose of rat nests is to breed...

There are so many options available in the consumer marketplace for rodent and pest control.

But do they work and are they a good solution for rat control? Glue traps, also called glue boards, are constructed of a rigid plastic or coated paper tray filled with extremely sticky substance, almost a tar-like consistency. They are inexpensive, made by multiple manufacturers, and readily available. Some are scented with peanut butter or other attractant to...

Perhaps you've seen this in your garden or orchard. A beautiful citrus tree, luscious fruit ripening, just waiting to be picked. Then you look closer and find that the fruit is damaged, ripped open and cored out. Completely empty shells still hanging on the tree and damaged fruit laying all over the ground.

Many people believe birds are pecking away at the fruit. But believe...
