If Only They're As Cute As Stuart Little...

Yeah, I'm talking about rats, those dreaded disease-carrying rodents!

I was cleaning the storeroom last weekend in search of my Christmas tablecloth. Yeah, yeah, I still haven't found it but I'm not giving up yet. I know it's somewhere in the house but once you've misplaced things, it becomes so difficult looking for it especially when you'll be needing it soon. Sometimes I think there's a troll in the house bent on making fun of me.

Anyway, as I was rummaging through all kinds of junk, out jump this teeny weeny little creature from this plastic container. Now the storeroom doesn't have a light installed so I wasn't sure what it was. So you could imagine my fear not knowing what on earth jumped at me. My son happened to be at the storeroom's door and he freaked out when he saw a little rat came charging towards him! Drats! That boy sure could scream like a monster, I nearly fainted from the tiny rat's attack and my son's ear-piercing screams.

We tried looking for lil Stuart after that but he (hmmm... maybe it was a she??) was nowhere to be found. Good thing cos had I seen that bugger again, I'd be ready to smash it with my broomstick and it's not gonna be pretty. I know there are better ways to get rid of these pests but right now a broomstick is all I have.

If you're looking for an effective way to rodent proof your home, I suggest that you try this product called the Victor® Sonic PestChaser® PRO. If you're not aware of it, well, it's about time you do. As the name suggests, it repels rodents. You can put it in highly 'risk' areas such as the kitchen, garage, attics or basements. We should be able to see a significant decrease of rodent activity within 6-10 days.

You must be wondering just how ultrasonic repellents work. It emits a high frequency sound waves that effectively annoys the rodents and chase them away. With over 80 oscillations per second, PestChasers® use a jackhammer-like sound to create intense auditory stress for rodents. I can imagine the headache it's causing to those rats! Don't worry cos the sound waves are inaudible to us human beings so we're safe! Would be nice if it could chase potential robbers away though...

There are other ways to keep these rodents away. You'll find these tips and strategies from victorpest.com helpful.
