OTHER INFORMATION AND CURIOSITIES ABOUT RATS AND MICE

•              People always asked themselves why the ultrasonic systems do not have the best results as to fighting rats plagues. It is very important the location of these devices, as any piece of furmiture, building materials and including the electrical appliances may affect the output of the ultrasonic repellents device. It should also be mentioned that people use to think that using a huge repellent device is the right choice to protect the entire house. Yet it is preferable to put a small device insede each room because in this way the repellent device system workd at its best. When choosing a rat repellent device is very important to make the difference between the sounds tha can be detected by the human hearing and the ultrasounds, which humans cannot detect.

The ultrasonic repellent devices should not be mixed with othes elimination methods, such as bait trap and poison, because they do not work as expected, but on the contrary.

•            When detecting the poison, the Norwegian rat is the best, being able to detect the chemical substances in very small concentrations within any food.
   

•            It is demonstrated that female rat in some species is able to maintain within its organism some active semen of the male, after the gestation, so that after giving birth to its litter it fertilizes itself without the necessity of copulating with any male.

•            Judging animals was quite a common thing until the beginning of the twentieth century; it is not surprising because the animals were considered a member of the family by necessity and not so much by affection. It was not unusual to sentence pigs to death for having eaten children or sentence rats for having devoured some crops. This led to establish a sort of a compensation for the death of an animal. An example was the diocese of Autun which judged the rats that had eaten great part of the harvest in Burgundy. The lawyer was a certain Chasseneux, who managed several postponements by different causes because he did not have enough time to join together all the rats, or because the rats did not have protection on the way to the court, or because of possible damage to the cats, etc. until the people got tired of a so expensive and long trial, postponing it for ever and admitted that Chasseneux and the rats were right.

•             When we first see a rat inside the house we do not worry about it, but we should know that rodents are social animals that live in colonies and if we see one rat is because behind it there is a group of rats. Moreover, rats are night animals; if during daytime we notice a lonely rat this means that it is a submissed rat in the colony, so that it had to change its feeeding schedule. Seeing this we should think that the previous night would have been much more rats.
   

      Sometimes we can feed the mouse for a few days and then place the trap.
