Will these work on roof rats?

No. I bought two things of shake away because of rats and it did absolutely nothing except smell like pee. I hear it works for others. But definitely did not work for my rat problem.

Yes, this works for Rats, according to our previous experience, but we caughtsmall Rats only ( not longer than 4 inches )

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

I work with rodents - biggest issue you will have is that a rat would shred that to pieces - the rope and wood would be gone pretty quickly. Rodents like to either run on a wheel or hide and move inside plastic tubes etc.

I'm too arid to know the answer to that question! These did work pretty well keeping the squirrels away until the raccoons kept uprooting them and throwing them at the horse :)

They work in the sense that they do not sit where you have the spikes. We put them in our railing and the birds no longer perch there. So if you are getting them for narrow surfaces, yes, they will do he trick.If it is a larger surface you want to protect, you need to think of a combination of deterrents: spikes for the railings, the pitch machine for flat surfaces, and mesh/ chicken wire for nooks and crannies where they might roost. Pigeons and doves are very persistent. You might want to get yourself a B B gun too.

No they cant - you have to have some sort of mounting rack on the roof. Malone makes the HR20™ MPG453 that will work on a bare roof, or you can look an roof kits from other mfgrs like Thule or Yakima.

Underground rats, of course it will. The only rats it won't work on is Rattus Carbonis which has the ability the break the CO bond and metabolize the oxygen and turn the carbon into a shellac like armor. Technically the rarest of all rats but the rat which has killed the most humans since the 1890's. It is only found in certain parts of Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Cawker, KS so it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, Pest Pro Mouse Glue Boards will work for Rats as well, but I can't tell about the big rats; we caught not bigger than three inches long ones.

Since a seagull is a bird I don't see why these will not work. These spikes are meant to make it uncomfortable for birds to land on spots. I have had these on the roof of a big comercial building now for a few years and it did take a few weeks to get the birds to stop landing on it. The only thing is make sure that you use a really good grade of Silicon to fasten these to the roof like a marine grade or better rating. Don't be disappointed if they don't stop landing there right away it will take some time to break the habit of landing there.

I bought it to get rid of bats. I really do not know if it works for rodents.

If you go on youtube you can find ways to set these traps outside. You have to put them in a large plastic container and cut a hole in it so the rodent can get in, remember these traps are not water proof but they do work outside if you protect them from moisture.

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

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

Mine hasn't worked for ANYTHING. Deer love it, birds, I'm surprized it hasn't drawn in RATS.worthless.

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.
