Some time back one raised the query about how to deal with rats, via

attempts to answer the issue raised.
Actually, rats can be a serious problem. At least in rural Goa. Talk to
anyone who lived here, and you'll realise this is no joke.
Thanks to some help from friends, one is getting a bit of a deeper
insight into how to deal with rats.
RESPONSE: In Goa they only have the cage rat trap! In Kenya and even
here in the U.K. one can buy a back breaker. This a spring trap which
snaps the back or head of the rat, when it takes the bait - clean and
reusable.
Now there are new devices, although quite pricey. Electronic signals
as sent but the contraption which uses minute amounts of electricity.
Rats, insects, many other pests get disturbed by the high pitched
signal ( inaudible to Humans and pets) . They do not stay around for
long...
cheapest one so far on Google is around £30. I am not sure if it is
effective against mosquitoes! I shall try one in Goa.
