Question By: Rat overpopulation has been a problem in Canberra for years so you're not alone in trying to get the annoying rodents out of your yard and neighborhood. Rather of going on a killing spree, though, here are some suggestions for how to get rid of rats without poison or inhumane traps
Use Natural Deterrent
Spread peppermint oil, cayenne pepper, black pepper, or cloves around the home’s exterior to stop the rats from entering the house in the first place. Sprinkle crushed pepper or spray pepper near rat openings and holes.
Use Smoke Bombs
It is the best solution if you see holes created by rats in your backyard. Rat tunnels typically have a lot of loose soil and a hole created at an angle. You can't use smoke bombs if the burrow is near a tree, porch, or other flammable structure.
Seal Entry points
Finally, as with any other kind of pest control, examine to see where the rats are coming from and seal the entry points as best you can. This may not always be useful because rats can chew through a lot of materials.
