Does this unit work for rats?

I do not have a rat issue. My problem is with field mice in the winter. The device has had limited success with the mice so my thought would be that it would not work with rats. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.

NO, I think it is for groundhogs specifically and it worked beautifully on my two properties. Look at this companies other products to deter rats. Personally I think you must contact a reputable rodent specialist. You have got to be aggressive and use the best traps and bait. Good luck and get this handled as soon as possible. They can breed out of control an destroy wiring and spread disease. Yucko.

This unit is designed to be used indoors only. It has only been tested on mice and rats and creates an irritating noise that only they can hear.

It will work for rats, I had this when I had rats and they would drag it around their mansion :) and chew on uIt. It will last them a long time.

No--I do not have rats in my area, but I do have raccoons, opossums, skunks, chipmunks and squirrels, as well as the occasional coyote, and nothing has been in the composter over the 5 months that I've had it outside. I do put fruit and vegetable scraps out there, so I think if the critters could get in there, they would.

Did not use it for this purpose... Only used outdoors for rabbits... Don't know how it would work for rats.

Yes, probably would work for mice or rats, question is if mice are heavy enough to drop the doors, but I would venture to guess they would and the mesh wire is small enough to keep all but the most tiny in the trap.

I don't know about rats but since I've had these I haven't had mice or spiders. I would think it's definitely worth a try vs. the cost of an exterminator. Check out the return policy.

I doubt it. This little box (the RODAR II) has no effect whatsover on the mice population. I presume that it will have the same effect on rats; that is, zero effect.

Hi... there are a couple of answers to your question. First, this model needs a pretty good sized rat to trip the mechanism. I had better luck with : Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel - 0745... I caught several of varying sizes with this one. I also accidentily captured one of my favorite squirrels..he wasn't happy. I would keep the rat traps where the squirrels don't go if possible...AND make sure the squirrels have their own feeders so they are not tempted to go where the trap is. Interestingly, now that I've relocated around 9 rats, we haven't seen or heard them in close to a month...and there is never rat poop in the squirrel feeder anymore... it used to be there everyday. Hope that helps.

I think it would, I actually originally bought it for my kids pet guinea pigs. I am sure it would work for rats too.

Yes, and move it around and put the bottom on the ground so its not hooked to the cage, but my rats have never gotten their tail or anything stuck in it for two years and love it! Good luck!

It should work. Apparently, all rodents have a problem with essential oil of mint, and that is the key ingredient.

I have had this product for several years and it still works on rats & mice. I have the bucket of packs. I won't do without it and do not use those others! Good luck!

It does work for rats. I've noticed a big drop in rat visits in all of the places I used to find their remnants. But as the package says, it only lasts two or three months for a package before the smell goes away.

Does anyone know if this works on rats? I have pet rats that I allow to run around most of the time, but recently discovered they are chewing up some VERY important wires and that I need to deter this behavior pronto! Please, anyone who knows, share your experiences with me.

I don't know. Our rabbits have not paid much attention to it. They are not impressed. We do not have rats.
