Rats are horrible animals that can be found in and outside the house. If you are in Nairobi, they will shame you before your most respected guests who may be your workmates of random visitors.
To get rid of them, try the following;
Use coca cola - Put Coca-Cola in a bowl and set it out where you have rats. Once they drink they will not be able to expel the gas and end up dying.
Baby Powder - Sprinkle the baby powder at the corners of the house and where the rats are prone. The powder intoxicates the rodents and helps you get rid of them.
Steel wool - It is harder for rats to bite steel wool and for you to get rid of them, block their access point with still wool.
Cow dung - It is a stinky process but one of the best ways to prevent these rodents. Take some cow dung and spread it in the area where the rats access. When they eat the cow dung, it will inflame their stomach and lead them to die.
Ammonia- Mix ammonia with water and place it in a bowl. Position the solution in the access point of the rats. You will get rid of them since they don't like the smell of ammonia.
Peppermint Oil - Dip some cotton balls in the peppermint oil and place them in the rat-prone area. It will give satisfactory results.
Owl’s Feather - Though it does not kill, rats are afraid of the owl's feather.
Pepper - The pungent smell of pepper makes it hard for the rats to breathe and threat their survival. Simply sprinkle some crushed pepper around the corners and the holes where they reside.
Onions - Cut the onions into small pieces and put it near or in their holes and they will not come back.
Sound - A sharp noise-making sound box is all you need to make them run away. The sound makes their ears bleed.
