Hackensack Rodent Removal Tip:

Is trapping rats legal?
The basis of animal trapping being legal is dependent on the country you reside in. In some countries, the trapping and hunting of certain animals might lead to the assumption that it is illegal to trap all animals in the country. But this assumption is wrong. Agreeably, there are exemptions in certain countries regarding citizens hunting and trapping certain animals; therefore, a permit or warrant is needed in order to hunt or trap them. Also, in some countries, certain types of traps are illegal to use because these traps cause suffering for the animals, and they are also useless since they are ineffective. There are different active campaigns in different parts of the world put in place to stop the buying, selling, and usage of these traps. Check your country's laws to know what kind of traps are illegal to use. 

Despite having these rules in different parts of the world, there are always exceptions. You can contact eliminators or animal control agencies to trap the rats humanely and release them into their natural habitats. Some of these exceptions are applicable if one suffers from a case of infestation. Different legal methods are available for catching rats.

Some countries permit the use of domestic animals strictly for the elimination of rodents or pests and not for sport. Pets like cats and dogs can be used to kill rats that are threatening one's home.

Regarding rat poisons, some laws have been put in place in some countries regarding the use of it in eliminating rats. In some countries, it is illegal to purchase fairly used anticoagulants. Because of its toxicity, it can only be retrieved from pest control agencies. Release of this poison without caution and wrong use of it can cause a high rate of casualties and death from second-hand poisoning. Children and domestic animals have higher chances of getting hurt. You can educate your children on the threats posed by poisons and what to do if the poison is ingested by them or your pets. Another reason why rat poison is not allowed in some places is that the poison messes with the repair process of the rat's body, causing hemorrhages and the animals die from blood loss and other side effects like abdominal pain, muscle pain, and joint pain. Since most poisons act slowly, the animal will have to go through pain, discomfort, and distress for days before dying, thereby dying inhumanely.

Also, the use of glue traps is illegal in some parts of the world as they are termed inhumane. This is because the rat, while struggling to free itself from the glue trap, might get some of its fur ripped off. They might gnaw through their own limbs and even break their bones. The trapped animal will experience pain, discomfort, and suffering. And most rats die from dehydration.

A live trap may not sound inhumane, but it is also illegal in some places because there is a high chance of the rat dying while it is trapped. It can only be avoided if the trap is large and the rat is regularly inspected. If live trapping is legal in your country, avoid using small-sized traps. It is very important to know that most of the rats released in a totally different environment after being caught end up dead because they will be unfamiliar with the food sources in the new area, and they might face competition and predation.

If trapping rats is legal in your country or you have obtained a license to trap them, it is advisable and important to use traps that are poison-free, glue-free, and do not subject the rat to inhumane treatment.
