okay well youtubers I recently had a
problem with a rat in my garage
and I've never had the problem before
but he suddenly appeared last winter and
he's been living in my garage for the
last probably six months he was living
unfortunately on grass seed that I had
left in the garage and he made a feast
out of that and so I decided to get rid
of him it's starting it's springtime now
it's just beginning to be spring so I
decided to try to get rid of him so what
I did research on the Internet all the
stuff I tried you know the little peanut
butter on a you know little low circular
object on a wire and a pail of water
that didn't work the stick boards did
not work the regular mouse traps did not
work this is a very wily rat very wise
and he's he thought he was here to stay
so what I did what I did notice that
there was mention of essential oils in
the you know that they're very rats are
very sensitive to their oils any any you
know anything that interrupts their
sense of smell they're very sensitive to
so I thought well I'm not going to waste
money on expensive essential oils for
this rat I'm just going to go straight
to the most obnoxious smell I know and
that's a ammonia and this is in fact
what they used to bring a person back to
consciousness if they fainted
so so I thought okay I'm going to put a
good you know I'm gonna put several rags
soaked with ammonia along his pathways
in the garage and see if that works
close up the garage stink him out see if
that works
so this is now the third day and I've
done it for the first day what happened
was that I soaked all of these rags and
sure enough the next day there was no
sign of him
and I you know and I know because he
would frequently you know anytime I
would open the garage door
he would appear and our you know go
scurrying off to try to find his hiding
place so what I did was these rags
around this is now the third day and
within 24 hours he disappeared and
appears he's gone for good he decided
that he didn't want his sense of smell
to be permanently affected so this is by
far the best way to get rid of rats is
just to assault their sense of smell and
they will take off so let me see here I
need to give this something to put that
up with but anyway so put it in his
favorite you know where he likes to hang
out and he should be gone within 24
hours so and this is like like I said
this is a now the third day I'm doing
this and what I did was I put these rags
up here because ammonia will rise it's
lighter than air it will rise and so
these are all his places that he likes
to go so that's what I'm doing and it
works very very well very cheap very
fast
and I haven't seen him at all in the
last wells 48 hours anyway he's gone so
it definitely works within the first 24
hours just be careful wear gloves and
you also want to wear some breathing
like a face mask because this stuff is
very obnoxious it'll it could burn your
your breathing you know your throat in
eyes and stuff so wear gloves and wear a
mask just use common sense view this
stuff stinks and and you should be okay
so anyway I'm going to go ahead and
close up this garage that's the other
thing you want to close up this garage
the garage because it would it keeps the
smell in longer and that's what you want
to do you want to drive him away and and
this is the this is the absolute best
way and you know you might want to kind
of continuously do it especially in the
the months that that they tend to you
know be looking for a place
now of course after you do this what you
want to do is you want to let's see here
you want to oh close up any openings
that you you have in your garage and the
best way you can tell that is just look
for some light and rats can get in
through very small openings so you want
to you know discourage them from doing
that I'm going to put some right here
there are a couple of other holes that
I've spotted that he may be coming
through so do that the other thing too
is if you're cleaning up your garage
after you know there's been a rat
infestation
do yourself a favor wear the masks wear
the gloves be very careful because dried
rat feces this is actually very
dangerous you can get hantavirus from it
which is a very serious deadly disease
it's somewhat similar to bubonic plague
so that shouldn't I think sufficiently
scare the crap out of anybody who thinks
that rats are just you know to be
ignored they're not they're extremely
dangerous so anyway that's it do that
wear a face mask where your your gloves
enclose the area
don't don't breathe the toxic fumes if
you can help it because they are toxic
and what I use I get this at the Dollar
Tree store it's clear ammonia it cost me
a dollar
so there you go it's three days I've
used what two quarts this two-port thing
and I'm going to stock up in this stuff
because every once in a while I'm going
to make sure especially if I think
there's any activity in this garage I'm
going to make sure to to attend you know
put down readouts these rags with an
ammonia the thing and just leave them up
in an accessible areas and and you you
can just grab them douse them throw them
back up there you're done it's less than
a minute be very easy it'll put wrapped
and pest control people out of out of
business sorry folks but this works for
me and you know if you're if you're real
sensitive to ammonia then maybe this
isn't the route for you just be careful
and that's it it worked for me gone in
24 hours and I had tried numerous uh
you know mousetrap sticky boards you
name it and I couldn't couldn't get rid
of this mouse but now he's gone so I'm
very happy anyway that's it signing off
