While historically associated with the spread of bubonic plague, rats do not themselves transmit the frightening disease. The creatures are instead the means by which the fleas that carry the plague pathogen are exposed to humans. Rats do spread other diseases which put human health and safety at risk. These include leptospirosis which damages liver and kidneys spread by their urine Lymphocytic choriomeningitis viral illness that can have long term physical effects transmitted through both rat saliva and urine and rat bite fever.

Animal rights advocates recommend attempting to live in harmony with rat species whenever possible. This is accomplished by rat proofing a property to make it less attractive to rodents on the theory that prevention of a problem is always the cheapest and most effective way of dealing with it. When animals must be removed from an already infested property animal rights activists suggest the use of non lethal traps. These traps capture the animals alive and unharmed and must be immediately followed by the release of the rats outdoors. Release does not mean dumping the rats miles away from point of capture but rather within 1. Rats released farther away than this are more likely to die or be killed due to their unfamiliarity with their surroundings. Live capture traps must be checked frequentlyas often as hourlyto protect the rats from injury, dehydration and starvation. Release should also occur as quickly as possible to avoid stressing the animals to the point of injury and death.

DOING IT Humanely and Permanently. When there is no alternative to a rat infestation other than extermination, there are means and methods that are considered more humane dispatching the animal quickly and as painlessly as possible. Most of these involve direct contact with the animal and involve dispatching rats one at a time. Many people find it difficult to regard rats and mice as anything other than dangerous pests that should be killed without conscience and which are unworthy of any kind of compassion. Asphyxiation Euthanasia using carbon dioxide CO2 is the only method approved by the American Veterinary Association for home use. Vinegar and baking soda when mixed together produce C0. When combined in the proper amounts these common household ingredients produce C0.

Cats are natural predators of rodents rat terriers were specifically bred over centuries to catch and kill rats. How humane this method can be is a point of debate, but it has the advantage of being the most natural way to totally get rid of these rodents. Snap trap rat traps This is the old tried and true mechanical mousetrap technology, only with a larger trap to accommodate the species larger size. If properly loaded and set the spring action of the trap kills instantaneously. Electrocution traps are fairly new inventions marketed as a green alternative to the use of rat poison. These devices lure the animal into a containment chamber and automatically administer a lethal electric shock. Cervical dislocation involves physically restraining the rat belly down on a hard surface. A quick, decisive yank on the tail that results in the sound of ripping or popping should result in a quick death. This is not a method for the squeamish and if not performed correctly can result in great suffering for the animal. Even these so called humane methods of rat extermination have significant drawbacks. Cervical dislocation requires having first mastered the technique so that death is instantaneous and involves direct contact with the rat asphyxiation requires getting the ratios of vinegar to baking soda exactly right and snap traps may result in the animal being caught by paw or tail rather than killed outright resulting in great suffering. Non Humane Rat Control Methods. These include There are any number of methods for killing rats which are not only inhumane most are downright violent and some are illegal. Blunt force trauma this method of dispatching a rat is considered the least humane and is prohibited by law in many jurisdictions. Blunt force trauma can be administered by picking a rat up by the tail and bashing its head against a wall, placing the rat in a sack and striking with a mallet or hammer. Usually the animal is not killed with the first blow and must be repeatedly struck. Shooting with a projectile While this might seem more humane than blunt force this method depends on hitting the rat in the brain stem on the first shot using a BB or air gun, or using guns that fire bullets. There will be blood and tissue splatter which can spread disease suffering will be extreme if the first shot is not a kill shot. There is always the possibility of missing the target entirely and endangering others with a stray shot or ricochet. Freezing rats alive placing a rat in a container and putting it in the freezer may seem more humane than shooting or beating it to death, but it is not a quick and painless death for the animal. Sticky glue traps are trays or boards which have been sprayed with industrial strength adhesives. These devices capture rats and mice when the creatures walk into or across them. Death takes days and is usually the result of a combination of dehydration, starvation, exhaustion and stress. Struggling may result in tissue tearing and other trauma. These types of traps are cheap, but can also trap beloved pets and beneficial animals and insects. Drowning Again, less violent and seemingly more painless than other methods, but still inhumane due to the time it takes a rat to drown which can be several minutes. Rat Poison although still used by many consumers and pest control companies, rat poison does not provide a quick or painless death. Whether anti coagulant based or chemical, poisons can take up to a week to actually kill the animal during which time they will suffer horrendously. Rat poisons and sticky glue traps are currently still legal means of extermination in most areas, but the use of other inhumane methods of killing rats can and does result in legal fines and jail time in many jurisdictions. Best Way to Get Rid of THESE CRITTERS according toAnimal rights advocates such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA advocate means and methods which do not involve death. Killing rats according to these animal activists only removes the problem temporarilyget rid of one and another will inevitably and quickly take its place. Autocad 2008 License Expired. The Latest Plan to Fix the Silicon Valley Housing Crisis Is to Build on Top of Trash. Housing in the Santa Clara region of California is insanely expensive. Tech companies have taken to building modern day versions of mill towns just so their employees have a place to live. The latest solution to pick up traction in the area is to build on top of disused landfills and regulators are warming to the idea. The housing situation has gotten so ridiculous in Palo Alto, the original home of Facebook andRead more Read. Back in August of last year, Bloomberg reported that the median price of a home in the Palo Alto area had risen to 2. Thats thirteen times the national average. Tech workers making six figures complain that they have to get roommates to afford to live. And residents have waged war against the homeless. Now, a developer named Related Companies is bidding to build a 6. It will be called City Place, exactly the kind of name youd expect from an organization called Related Companies. The site is no longer used for dumping. A golf course and a BMW track were built on top years ago. But thats not the same as proposing that 1,6. Toxic vapors, dangerous gasses, and ground water contamination are all issues that have to be accounted for. The regulators were pretty skeptical at the start, I have to say, Stephen Eimer, an executive vice president with Related tells Mercury News. After much back and forth, Bay Area regulators have finally accepted Relateds technical document that outlines how the site would be made safe. A foot thick concrete barrier would be laid over 3. Housing would be built over shops and restaurants to create more distance between the residents and the waste. Sensors and alarm systems would monitor gasses and a separate system would collect and dispose of it. The Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board have all accepted Relateds proposal but that doesnt mean that its a done deal. The green light to build never really happens until you get the last permit, Ruth Shikada, Santa Claras assistant city manager tells Mercury News. While other landfills in the area have been used for retail, nothing on the scale of what Relateds asking for has been approved before. Keith Roberson, senior engineering geologist with the water quality control board, called Relateds proposal a solid plan, and he worries about setting a precedent. He emphasized that all proposals will have to be evaluated on a case by case basis. More research and monitoring will be necessary before any approvals will be made. The City of San Jose is also suing the City of Santa Clara over the project. San Jose claims that the imbalance of 2. That argument certainly makes it sound like fixing one problem would just be creating another. If all goes to plan you could be living on top of a City Park Starbuckswith totally safe drinking water that definitely isnt going to explodewithin 5 7 years.
