How do you get rid of sink/drain flies?
I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.
You will have to caulk and seal any opening to keep the rats out. They can get in through the smallest spaces. If the opening is large, stuff steel wool in it like the opening around pipes.
You should go to Home Depot and get a bag of rat bait... that stuff is amazing.
We've also had luck with electronic rodent repellents found on line. Just plug in and they emit a frequency that drives mice, squirrels, and any rodents out of the area. No chemicals or mess and haven't seen a pest since.
"Just one Bite" is one of the best rodent killers around. You cannot buy it in a regular store. You must go to a farm store, home and farm type store as it is not allowed to be sold in a regular store. Then you must go to the "farm department", in the store not the regular lines. I think you can also buy over the internet. Comes in small and large packages.
Why not try an owl box? They usually are occupied quite quickly then you will have the best rodent catcher in residence. Eco friendly too.
Use a bowl of Antifreeze.
