Rats are dangerous rodents and their presence in the house should not be tolerated. They damage property, threaten health, and sometimes even life. There are bacteria and microbes on the fur, paws, and mouths of these animals. Rats are carriers of the plague, and it is largely because of them that the famous plague epidemic in the 14th century could not be stopped for so long. They also spread salmonellosis, yersiniosis, rabies, tularemia, and leptosyrosis. Diseases are transmitted through direct contact with a rat. Also, pathogens remain on contact surfaces, in water and food. You did not see where the rat ran, and you can become infected at any time.
Pests don't just spread viruses. They chew furniture, food, objects of art, destroy heat and vapor barriers, and gnaw cables. Because of them, a fire occurs, the integrity of the waterproofing is compromised, and mold spreads throughout the house.
Rats are pack animals. If there are many of them, they attack. They bite a small dog or cat to death. Cases of attacks on people have been recorded, incl. on babies.
To prevent rats from entering your home, do not forget about preventive measures.
- Use barrier protection. Traps, nets for windows and ventilation, and ultrasound against rats are suitable for this.
- Do the cleaning. Rodent pests eat leftovers, love garbage, and find food in leftover food. By depriving rats of food, you are depriving them of a reason to visit your home.
- Seal openings, cracks and cracks. Through them, pests enter an apartment or house. And in dark, quiet places, where they are rarely cleaned, rodents make a nest and raise their offspring. Thorough cleaning is a way to avoid settling of the territory or (if it was not possible) to detect uninvited residents in time.
- If there are contaminated areas nearby, act, don’t wait. Even if there are rats in the neighboring house now and do not show interest in yours, one day they will become cramped. The colony is growing rapidly, rodents are looking for a new shelter and find it where there are minimal threats to them. If you know that your neighbors have pests, suggest using rat poison.
But what kind of rat repellent should you buy?
Rat repellents
Deratizers recommend these remedies for rats and mice:
- ultrasonic repeller "Electrocat";
- ultrasound "Tornado";
- poison "Rat Death";
- foam "Brodifakum";
- poison "Primatox";
- poison "Ratobor";
- poison "Storm";
- Alt glue.
All of these drugs and devices work, but each in its own way. Decide what result and how quickly you want to get it. To do this, evaluate:
- active and additive substances included in the composition of the products;
- level of safety for people and animals;
- type of impact;
- peculiarities.

"Zarit" is a series of rodenticides for the extermination of gray and black rats and house mice. The material contains the composition, preparative form, principle of action, consumption rates, regulations for use and safety issues.
Ultrasonic repeller "Electrocat"
If you cannot tolerate chemicals, you should buy an ultrasound from rats “Electrocat”. This repeller does not contain poisons, chemicals, aromatic substances, attractants, etc. Its “active ingredients” are sound waves.
The radius of destruction of such a wave is 400 sq.m. Pests have sensitive hearing that cannot tolerate changes in acoustic vibrations. Alternating frequencies provoke feelings of anxiety, discomfort and panic in rats. The result is complete extermination of the population. Rodents prefer to run to another place and not listen to sound vibrations.
“Electrocat” has two operating modes: “day” and “night”.
At night, the “cat” emits signals in the ultrasonic and sound ranges. Such fluctuations are unpleasant for humans, and even more so for pests. To avoid getting irritated, leave the room for a while. During the day, the repeller emits vibrations in the ultrasonic range. This mode is the safest for people. A person does not hear ultrasound, so the wave will not harm him. But if there are guinea pigs and hamsters in the house, “Electrocat” will not work. These animals have sensitive hearing and can detect disturbing signals.
To operate "Electrocat" you need a twelve-volt current source of 0.15A. The signal angle is 110°. Service life - 10 years. Ultrasound from rats is placed in an open place at a maximum distance of 30 cm. from the floor.
"Ratobor"
"Ratobor" is the best remedy for rats in a private home. The chemical exterminates black and gray rats, fights against water rats and house mice.
The active ingredient of the pesticide is brodifacoum. This is a powerful anticoagulant that prevents blood from clotting. The rodent dies from bleeding, but its body does not decompose. "Ratobor" is a poison for rats with a mummifying effect. Also, before death, the pest feels severe suffocation and strives for fresh air - that is, from your home. Rare bodies remain in the rooms. The composition contains attractants, so rats prefer the poison to other foods.
The manufacturer offers four poison options.
- Dough briquette "Ratobor". These tiles are suitable for dry and wet rooms, incl. granaries, basements, sewers, etc.
- Grain bait. Rodents love grain, and Ratobor attracts their attention. One package of mummifying poison for rats is designed for an area of 30 square meters.
- Gel concentrate. To prepare such bait you will need a base: cereals, bread or another product that rats like. Mix it with Ratobor, spread it in habitats - and the poison for rats is ready.
- Granules. Ready rat bait. This mummifying rat poison works just like grain.
"Ratobor" belongs to the fourth class of danger, it is harmless to people and pets. But wear PPE when preparing and dispensing poison.
Purpose
"Zarit" is an effective remedy for combating mouse-like rodents. A distinctive feature is the special composition of the food additive - an attraction and the high speed of action of the active substance. The bait does not cause repellent effects or alertness to other individuals. As a rule, one treatment is sufficient.
Rodenticide "Zarit" is used against rodents, pests of various crops (Eastern European, common, social voles), as well as against rodents in premises for various purposes and adjacent areas (house mouse, gray rat).
Poison "Rat Death"
Rat Death poison is also an effective remedy for rats in a private home. Its composition, like that of Ratobor, includes the anticoagulant brodifacoum 0.005% and food additives. The poison acts in a similar way: the rats feel suffocated, try to leave the room, run out into the street, where they die. Because baits are introduced into the composition, the pest eats “Rat Death” - even when other products are available. This will protect your property and eliminate rats. Already on the third day, the pest begins to experience spasms and suffocation, and on the seventh or eighth day the entire population dies.
The main advantage of the drug is its antimicrobial and antimicrobial components. Thanks to them, the pesticide retains its properties for a long time and does not lose its effectiveness.
“Rat Death” refers to low-toxic toxic chemicals of the fourth hazard class. The poison is non-toxic for people and warm-blooded animals. But it is recommended to place the drug away from pets and children and wear PPE when working.
Foam "Brodirat"
When planning to buy poison for rats and mice, consider Brodifacoum as an option. The formula of this pesticide is based on the single-dose anticoagulant brodifacoum. One dose is enough to cause death.
Brodifacoum enters the rodent's intestines and disrupts blood clotting. The level of vitamin K in the blood decreases, and the enzyme epoxide reductase necessary for its restoration is not produced. The rat dies in three to four days.
The peculiarity of this rat poison is its release form. "Brodifakum" is a foam that spreads throughout the room and easily covers surfaces. The foam attracts rodents, and they eat it with pleasure. The foam also sticks to the animal’s paws and fur. The pest carries the poison into the burrow, where other members of the colony eat the bait and become infected. Some pests may never even leave the hole, and will still try Brodifacoum. A week later the colony dies.
The foam has been assigned the fourth hazard class; it can be used in food industry enterprises, workshops, offices and, of course, in homes.
Consumption rate and application regulations
The briquettes, without unwrapping them from the paper, are laid out in places with detected traces of rodent activity - gnaws, droppings, etc. And also near and in discovered holes, along walls and proposed paths of movement.
Bait (pellets or dough-cheese) briquettes are placed in portions on substrates, trays, or in containers for laying out. The consumption of the drug is determined at the rate of 1 briquette per 1 mouse and 2-3 briquettes per 1 rat. Distances between layouts are 3-5 m for mice, 5-10 m for rats.
When there is a critical number of rodents in the house or household. in buildings, the dose of the drug is calculated based on the following ratio - a dose of 10-20 g for mice and 100-150 g for rats (1 briquette-10 g.)
After a week they check whether the bait has been eaten or not. Uneaten baits are transferred to other places where rodents are likely to visit.
Processing is stopped if the fact of untouched baits in all habitats is recorded.
Unused substrates and dead rodents are disposed of by burning or burying to a depth of at least 0.5 m.
"Primatox"
"Primatox" is a powerful poison for rats, harmless to humans. The toxic chemical belongs to the fourth, lowest, hazard class. All you need to do is wear gloves and protect your respiratory system. Primatox will not harm you or your pets. But the rodents will be destroyed in five to fifteen days.
The basis of the pesticide formula is bromadylion. This poison causes blood to clot and kills the rodent three to four days after eating the bait. Have no doubt: the rodent will try Primatox, and not your food. The formula of the poison contains attractants and additives for taste. You can buy Primatox rat repellent with the taste of meat, bread, roasted seeds, even beer.
Place Primatox briquettes near the suspected rat nest. Leave the bait near garbage containers, under sewer pipes, in a ventilation shaft, behind the refrigerator. Pets are not interested in briquettes, but to be on the safe side, place the poison in a container with a small rat hole. When working with poison, wear protective equipment. Wash your hands after spreading the pesticide.
One Primatox briquette is enough for twenty rats.
Precautionary measures
When working with toxic substances, you need to be careful, since rat poison is dangerous not only for rodents, but also for humans. A large dose of rodenticide can cause serious poisoning and death. If poison has somehow entered the human body, it is important to immediately contact a medical facility for help.
There are rules for using rodenticides:
- Before starting to work with baits, you should protect your hands with rubber gloves.
- The poison should be placed in places inaccessible to children and animals. It is best to place them in special containers for catching rodents.
- If the drug accidentally enters the body, you should immediately go to the hospital. Vikasol can be taken as an antidote to anticoagulants.
- The bait that remains after processing the room should be properly disposed of: buried to a depth of 50-100 cm or burned.
People over 18 years of age who are not prone to allergic reactions should work with rat poisons. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not distribute rodenticides.
"Tornado"
"Tornado" is another ultrasonic rat repeller. Like "Electrocat", it is harmless to humans, but has a detrimental effect on hamsters, guinea pigs and decorative rats.
A special feature of this ultrasound is its dust and moisture protection. It can be installed in the house, on the street, on the veranda, in a damp basement, in the garage, etc. The device only needs a 220V socket to operate. You can leave it turned on for a month, the case does not overheat and does not ignite. Tornado has a manufacturer's warranty.
The device is silent, a person does not detect ultrasonic waves. In rats, acoustic vibrations cause a feeling of anxiety. Interestingly, rats can adapt to ultrasound when necessary. To prevent this, Tornado changes frequency every 15.
The repeller is installed on the floor at a height of ~30cm. If this is not possible, you can hang it on a bracket and direct the signal from top to bottom.
"Storm"
"Storm" is a powerful and fast-acting remedy. Used in the fight against rats and house mice. The drug increases the permeability of blood vessels. It provokes external and internal bleeding, and then causes the death of rodents. The death of pests occurs when the drug is ingested once into the digestive system.
The composition of "Storm" includes these active and additive substances:
- The active component is flocumaren - an anticoagulant that inhibits the functions of the blood coagulation system:
- a grain base with the addition of wax, making it easier for a rodent to eat the pesticide.
To kill pests, you can choose one of three types of poison.
- "Storm 16g" is a completely ready-to-use drug. Does not require dilution.
- "Storm pellets". The preparation does not contain wax. The edges of the pellets are serrated to encourage rodents to eat the bait.
- “Storm 4g” with added wax. Has protection against mold and soaking. Suitable for deratization of sewer systems and basements. Eating one dose is fatal.
The use of the drug requires caution. The hazard class of the pesticide is first, the highest. Wear protective gloves before placing baits. Avoid contact with the poison on skin and mucous membranes. The use of the drug is dangerous for warm-blooded animals.
Blue dye is injected into wax briquettes. Upon contact with the bait, a blue spot appears on the animal’s body. If blue marks appear on your pet's body, contact your veterinarian.
Top 10 poisons for mice and rats
But it is necessary to fight rodents, and for this purpose a sufficient number of poisonous drugs have been created, which will be discussed below.
Krysid
This is one of the most popular means of combating mice and rats. The main toxic substance is Nephthylthiourea. It is generally accepted that this drug is most effective against rats, but it cannot have the desired effect on mice.
As soon as the rodent tastes the poison, it will immediately begin to act, and it will die within an hour after that. Using this drug you can completely get rid of rodents in 3 days.
It should be remembered that Krysid is very toxic, it is even more toxic than arsenic. It can cause pulmonary edema as it affects blood vessels. The animal will die from suffocation within an hour after consuming the drug.
If a person takes poison, he may die from pulmonary edema, however, for this he needs to take a fairly large dose. But to kill a dog or piglet, a smaller dose will be enough.
Ratfish has a specific smell. This is a gray powder. Based on it, poison for rodents is prepared by mixing the poison with various baits. You can use bread crumbs, minced meat or porridge as bait.
The drug is also dissolved in water, which is poured into drinking bowls and placed in the most likely places where rodents accumulate. Krysid is used infrequently, its use is recommended only in extreme cases.
Inta-Vir
But this is exactly the same drug that, as manufacturers say, has a mummifying effect. It consists of 4 main components. With its help you can get rid of uninvited guests both in the house and in the open air. Inta-Vir destroys all types of rodents - rats, mice, hamsters, moles and others.
The manufacturer of this drug can be trusted, since it has been working fruitfully in the market of toxic agents for a long time. One package will be enough to process 300 square meters. m. premises. Inta-Vir is inexpensive - about 300 rubles. And now about some of the features of this drug:
- It can be used not only in a residential area, but also in a damp basement, cellar, and even outdoors.
- Another difference of the product is that it will not be touched by pets. Simply, it contains a bitter additive, which prevents it from being eaten by pets, including ornamental rodents.
- The drug is quite simple to use, since its dosage is very convenient - 1 bait is a dose sufficient for the animal to die.
- Inta-Vir has all the necessary certificates from supervisory services.
- The kit includes protective gloves.
Down with Uninvited Guests
This product is also suitable for removing rodents both inside and outside a residential building. A distinctive feature is the presence of flavoring additives. Mice and rats simply will not be able to run past such a treat.
In addition to protective gloves, the kit also includes a bait house, in which the poison is placed. The active ingredients are Rodialon, Brodirate and Bromine paste, and all these delights are seasoned with the taste of smoked sausage and cheese. The cost of the drug is 395 rubles.
Rattidion-Extra
And this is a bait made in the form of a red briquette. Using the drug you can get rid of all known types of rodents. The destruction of parasites is carried out in residential premises; industrial facilities; in children's institutions and outdoor areas.
The room in which this drug is used does not have to be warm and dry; its use in damp basements, cellars and sewerage structures is allowed.
Rattidion-Extra can be used by both professionals and citizens who do not have special training, but processing must be done only with special protective gloves.
If the drug is used in a room where it may be accessible to children, then measures must be taken to ensure that this does not happen. Also, this bait should not be placed near water sources.
The poison is laid out at a distance of 5-15 meters. But if the number of rodents is very large, then the distance can be reduced. The active substance of the drug is Brodifacoum.
Brodiat
This is a foaming composition for removing all types of rodents. The product is sold in 750 ml bottles. The cylinder has a tube with which poisoned foam can easily be placed in holes where rodents are hiding. It is not at all necessary to use all the product at once; the remainder will retain its properties throughout the shelf life.
Brodiat can be used in any premises, including residential buildings and children's institutions. Using a special tube, the product can be injected into burrows and crevices that rodents can use to move around. Brodiat contains special flavoring additives that rodents simply cannot ignore.
The foam will stick to the rodents' paws, and they will, of course, lick them, which will certainly lead to poisoning. Thus, the toxic substance will enter the rodents’ food tract, which will certainly lead to their death.
The product can also be used together with a food base: Brodiat - 50 g, food additive 1 kg. But Brodiat itself is very attractive to rodents. Shelf life: 2 years.
Warat
If you have suffered an infestation of rats or mice in very large numbers, then this remedy will be simply irreplaceable for you. It will be possible to get rid of unwanted tenants in a fairly short period of time.
The drug can be used in any type of room. Varat will be able to destroy both mice and rats. Benzoate is used as the active substance. The substance is made in the form of granules that have a very pleasant odor for all types of rodents. The drug is inexpensive - only 200 rubles.
Bromocid
This is a gel-like mass, the active substance of which is Bromodialone. The drug is capable of destroying any species of mice and rats. It is even used in kindergartens. But at the same time, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of children coming into contact with the drug. Without direct contact, the drug is completely safe for people.
Bromocide is sold in a plastic bucket with a lid. It can be stored for 2 years. To prepare the poison, you will need 1 part of the drug and 30 parts of a food base, which can be used as feed, flour or various types of cereals. The price of the drug is 560 rubles.
Brodifan
The main component is Brodifacoum. The drug is made in the form of a red liquid. Brodifan has low toxicity, so it can be used in any type of premises. The drug requires preparation.
To do this, take 1 kg of food base and 20 ml of concentrate. The components are mixed. Grain, mixed feed, porridge or some other products can be used as a food base.
This remedy is used against all types of rats and mice. It is sold in a plastic canister. Experts advise adding unrefined vegetable oil to the preparation, which will further enhance the interest of rodents. The drug costs about one and a half thousand rubles.
Bromine paste
This drug is a bait that is almost ready for use. It is sold in the form of briquettes and is intended for breeding rodents. Active substance - Benzoate. It also contains food additives and colorings.
The product is placed in containers, which are placed in places where rodents are most likely to appear. You can use the paste anywhere. The cost of the product is 70 rubles.
Rat Death
This drug contains substances that have a negative effect on the circulatory system of rodents. Rat Death has one significant advantage: after consuming the drug, the rodent will feel suffocated, and therefore will definitely leave the room into clean air, where it will die. This means that there will be no unpleasant odor from a decomposing animal.
Relatives will not suspect anything is wrong, since the affected animal will have no signs of poisoning. But if we talk about rats, they are very smart creatures that can foresee danger.
The poison will be active for several years, which is made possible thanks to the special substances contained in the composition. The drug is similar to plasticine, packaged in special bags. They are capable of transmitting odor, but not moisture. Therefore, this product can also be used in damp areas.
When unfolding bags, it is recommended not to touch them with bare hands, as the human smell will definitely repel rodents. After the rodent tastes the drug, the effect will appear in 2-3 days. In young mice, the process of poisoning the body will take slightly less time. The cost of the drug is 100 rubles.
