Why Rats are much more difficult to control than mice? We interchange rats and mice when we talk about rodents but are they same? In actual fact and practice they are not though their modus operandi to enter human homes is the same. They cause same type of damage and leave the same symptoms to announce their presence. All these point out to the fact they are the same, but they are not. Rats and mice appear different as rats are much bigger and can be as big as 12-inches in length. It is like mice have been fed with steroid to change them into rats. They are much worse when you are faced with rat infestation and you will have no other alternatives but to call BBPP, expert rat control Vaughan and most successful rat exterminator for the town and the nearby areas. Rats are suspicious Unlike mice rats are suspicious and will watch traps closely and eat the bait without triggering the snap mechanism. Even if the trap mechanism is triggered the blow is not fatal enough for rats, owing to the size factor. Rats sense the changes taking place in the environment thus become suspicious when they see the appearance of a trap in the usual hunting ground. This makes them hard to deceive or tricked thus making it much harder to track them down and trap them. on the other hand mice are easy prey and can be easily tricked because they are curious and is always ready to take a bait. Rats don’t repeat mistakes Rats learn from their past mistakes and correct themselves. Suppose you trap a rat with a glue trap and it somewhat manages to wriggle free it will never again come to the spot or fall into the glue trap again. Another thing they learn is from your mistake that is you will never catch another rat with the same trap that you had used the previous day to trap a rat. Before reloading you should clean the trap and erase all trace of rat smell or they will know that someone from their ilk has been there and he did not return home. Also make sure to relocate the trap as well as the bait because rats must have become familiar with the earlier trap and bait. Rats multiple at great speed Rats can produce much faster than mice and a female rat can produce 7-12 babies in one litter and she will repeat it 7 times in a year. If you calculate it will be a shocking 76 new births and new rats. Female rat starts littering only after five weeks so you can imagine how many of them will be in your home at the end of the year. Rats are great escape artists Rats can be bit canny and tricky. Rats unlike mice spend most of their time in the burrows or underground and will often use many pathways to access new areas for food or escape from a predator. Rats are bad omen
