Experience with rat repellent?
Due to the gross habits of the tennants (and the neglectful attitude of the owners) of the apartment building next door to us, the backyard in my condo now has rats. We have tried to rat-proof our area (put heavy metal lids on the dumpster, etc.) but we still have rats. I wrote to our local Aldermand who seems to not give a rat's you know what about our rat problem. So, I need to get rid of the rats that are coming over from next door. One person in the condo said that there is a product called Rat-Away which is made with the urine of predators like foxes. Does anyone have expereince with a product like this in an urban setting. How do our city rats know what a fox smells like anyway? Any why would they be afraid of it?Experience with rat repellent?
that would probably work; it's just instinct.
also, call the city vector control (or find their website). there will be info on that site %26amp; also free assessment. a vector control person will come out and check the house %26amp; give you ideas to control the problem. roof rats are common in california; i've used rat poision and it works, but there is a chance they can die in the garage/walls %26amp; stink and collect flies.
first--protect the house: during daylight hours, seal all holes from the outside into your house. rats only need a hole the size of a quarter to get in. you can go to home depot or a hardware store and get some cauke for concrete or whatever the surface is. keep them from getting into the house. that is your primary concern.
second--yard: use the fox urine on the fences, building, yard, etc.; do not use poison blocks or poison pellets if there are cats/pets living in your building who might eat it.
third--get rid of bird seed %26amp; fresh fallen fruit
fourth--trim the shrubs, bushes, etc., away from the building to keep them from making homes there
fifth--flea control: make sure all the pets in the building have had their flea meds (check the size of the pet %26amp; breed first! and match the flea box--it can be deadly if given the wrong weight/dose).; rats carry fleas that carry diseases (this is how the plague killed so many). the rats can bite your pets, or you, or transfer the fleas to your pets.
sixth--clean: spray any dead rat with lysol; remove from the area w/ plastic bags; dispose of in a sealed container, or call vector control %26amp; ask them. spray any rat droppings with lysol; do not vacuum it up--the vapors are poisonous to humans; spray it with lysol, then pick it up w/ paper towels; disinfect with bleach %26amp; water or lysol %26amp; water. the urine is poisonous, too.
unfortunately, ';if you want something done right, do it yourself';. do not wait for your alderman to care!! these things breed pretty quickly. i belive it's about 3 weeks, they start having babies. talk to the owner of the building and all other tenants. work together. rats are a neighborhood problem. good luck. act now!
rats are nocturnal; they will play in your house's walls at night; defend during daylight hours %26amp; they should be outside.Experience with rat repellent?
I would contract city or county govt. and report them. Many times they will provide poison in tamper proof boxes until they can force neighbors to clean the place up.

Can I give my cat a double dose of Spot on flea repellent?
He has fleas.Can I give my cat a double dose of Spot on flea repellent?
No, as overdosing a cat can be fatal. Always get flea treatment from a vet and follow the instructions carefully.Can I give my cat a double dose of Spot on flea repellent?
No never double dose, it could be harmful to the kitten.
One dose is enough, you should allow 48 hrs for the treatment to start working and taking effect.
Note if the spot on treatment you are using is over-the-counter it is unlikely to be very effective. Use frontiline or stronghold.
It is important to buy a spray to treat the environment too, as fleas lay eggs in the cats bedding, in your carpets etc and can reinfest your cat with fleas again. Get the spray from a vet/animal shelter store.
Only if you want to kill him.
The flea drops are strong pesticides, and the dose is regulated by the size/weight of the cat (see the box instructions). If you double dose, the cat has a toxic overdose that is going to start destroying his liver, killing him. These are intensly strong pesticides and having it on your skin will do the same to you.
Fleas don't ALL die in two days. The ones that are in the environment and haven't bitten the cat won't be poisoned till they get back on him, so what looks like an infestation not being touched actually isn't. Remember that flea eggs will be hatching as well, for up to 3 months, making it look like fleas haven't died at all. But the dose is working and will continue to work for a good 30 days. As new ones jump on the cat they die, the dead ones all fall off, so you're going to be seeing things around till the last of them dies.
No, don't. Mostly because it will be pointless but also, if it's a spot-on treatment from a pet store you will be risking your cat's life.
Never use pet store flea treatments, they are often dangerous and usually useless (with the exception of Frontline).
If you are already using a proper flea treatment from a vets, like Frontline or Revolution etc there is no need for a second treatment within a month. If you are still seeing fleas 48 hours after applying the stuff (presuming you got it on correctly i.e. the skin) it means you need to spray your house - this is where most of the fleas are living.
If you have used a pet store flea treatment and are still seeing fleas after 48 hours it's because, as I've said the stuff won't work - and also you probably need to spray your house!
If you've used a pet store flea treatment, you need to now get some proper stuff from a vets. Ask their advice about when you can apply it; we recommend waiting a week after applying a pet store treatment, in case it interferes with the action of the proper stuff.

No. Most over the counter flea treatments like Spot On are ineffective, and many are downright toxic. See your vet and get a prescription topical treatment like Advantage, Frontline or Revolution. They work and they won't kill your cat like some of the over the counter ones can. If you've already applied Spot On, let your vet know when you applied it so s/he can advise you when it's safe to put the other treatment on him. You'll also need to treat your home if he's indoors. If you don't, you'll end up with an infestation. Talk to your vet about what product(s) will be safe to use in the home. Here's more information about over the counter flea treatments:

Anyone know of any mosquito repellent that's safe for babies?
My son in 2 and a half months old and he got a mosquito bite the other night and I was wondering if there are any safe mosquito repellents for him. For some reason, mosquitos are really bad right now (and it hasn't even been raining). I don't want him to get bit again because I'm afraid of diseases since he is so young.Anyone know of any mosquito repellent that's safe for babies?
We used Avon's Skin So Soft. We put a little on a tissue and safety pinned it to the inside of the baby's shirt. It cut back on a lot of them. We used the hand lotion back then and the oil. Avon has a lot of other Skin So Soft products now including bug spray. You can buy it online now too. They call it SSS now.Anyone know of any mosquito repellent that's safe for babies?
any kind that doesn't have DET in it is fine for babies.. Most will say on the back that you can spray on your hands and rub on to babies not to spray directly on to them..........
avoid repellents containing DEET. This is a powerful carcinogen that just happens to also repel mosquitos. People are getting skin cancer from this chemical.
I know skin so soft lotion is fine. That is what works best for us. Also most kid sprays (off brand etc.) will also be fine for babies.
Not too long ago I went on a trip with my baby girl, who by the time was too young to use mosquito repellent on her. I ask her Ped and he told me to spray on her vinegar - yes, plain vinegar like the one used for salads- diluted in a bit of water. Well, the smell isn't the greatest but I can tell you it worked. It actually worked so well that, at the end of day #1 hubby and I stopped using our mosquito repellent and used vinegar during the hole vk's. So it is worth a try, just apply it where the clothes don't cover and he'll be fine.
I heard that by simply putting a dryer sheet through a belt loop on attaching it somewhere to your clothes can repel mosquitoes. I haven't tried it though, but my friends have and say it works.

Is there bug repellent that is safe for baby?
spray the clothing the child is going to be wearing before you put him in it...don't forget the areas around the collar and sleeves.
also if you are spraying on the go.. just cover his face and hands with a blanket or cloth..
use that skin-so-soft brand. if a little does get on baby, its safer than the other brands.. less abrasive to little one's skin.
good luck
Is there bug repellent that is safe for baby?
There is no bug repellent or sunscreen safe for a baby under 6 months. They can absorb the effective chemical into their bloodstream. Buy mosquito netting or only go out at times when the mosquito population is at its lowest in the day. I also found that if outside, a portable fan helps to lower mosquitoes trying to bug you.Is there bug repellent that is safe for baby?
i ask my doctor this and all of them said that there was no real over the counter bug repellent suitable for children under the age of two- my sopn is 16 months and we've looked up some natural things to use which would be much healthier. they also said try to stay away from area that might be breeding grounds for misquitos
My dad takes my 4 month old son outside all the time and he was getting bit by bugs. We read that if you have a few scented dryer sheets in your pockets that the smell repels mosquitoes. He puts on tucked into his pants or diaper and it has helped a ton.
One of the most effective ways to protect against mosquito bites is by using insect repellent with DEET. However, these products should be used with caution.
