Default Rats in the ceiling - repelling?
In article . com,
says...
Is there a way to repel rats from inside your ceiling space? I have
heard that possums dislike naphthalene and camphor. Is there anything
that rats dislike? I am definitely not putting rat poison in the
ceiling, so the little critters die in some hard-to-reach wall cavity,
and then perfume the whole house.




Maybe try placing peanut butter or other bait on an un-set(SP) trap or
trap(S). After a couple of days of something eating the bait set the
trap(S). With the perfume of death, if it occurs, you at least know it
will be gone in about 10 days... can't be said with the odors of
mothball. Can linger around months and costs lots for the clean up.
