Knoxville Rodent Removal Tip:

Tips to Remove a Rat That Is Stuck in a Dumpster
If you have lived in the city long enough, you have probably seen a rat stuck in a garbage can or a dumpster once in a while. Generally, these creatures can get right out of there, but sometimes they might not be able to. It is best not to just go blindly reaching down into a dumpster to get a rat out for many reasons. Continue reading to learn some tips to remove a rat that is stuck in a dumpster.

Disease
The first and most important thing to think about before helping a rat get out of a dumpster is the risk you will be taking. Rats, like pretty much every rodent, carry all kinds of nasty, potentially fatal diseases. Rat-bite fever is a nasty bacterial infection that can be fatal if not treated soon enough. Hantavirus, commonly carried by rats, has no cure and is fatal in 40% of all cases. Leptospirosis can cause you to take over several months to recover. Now you need to seriously think about these risks before moving on. There is a good chance that a rat could harbor any one of hundreds of diseases.

Safety Precautions
Before removing a rat, or even a mouse, from a dumpster, you need to be sure you are following a couple of smart and simple safety precautions. You have to keep in mind that the rat will be terrified and angry because it has no way to get out. It will feel cornered and threatened, and will certainly lash out at the first chance it gets. You have a few different options. You can use lethal means of getting the rat out of the dumpster or you can help it escape. Either way is okay, as long as you make sure you are following all laws in your area.

Traps
One of the easiest ways to take care of a rat that is trapped in a dumpster is to set a lethal or nonlethal trap for it in the dumpster. There are a wide variety of snap traps, humane traps, and glue traps that can be used. If you are looking for a lethal option, opt for a snap trap of some kind, as these are quick, simple, and humane since it only takes one quick snap to dispatch the critter. If you are looking for a live trap, consider using a humane box trap that simply just catches them, allowing you to release the rat into the wilderness. Whatever you decide to use, just be sure to be wearing heavy gloves so that the rat cannot bite your hand when you are placing the trap. Whenever you catch the rat in the trap, be careful when handling the rat, or just leave it if you do not feel comfortable disposing of the rat's body. 

Help It Escape
For the bleeding hearts of the world, there is a way to take care of this situation that will feel like a happy ending. Generally, the rat is stuck in the dumpster or garbage can because it cannot get friction on the inside walls of the dumpster for whatever reason. The way to help a rat out would be to simply place a stick or any other long object in the dumpster so that the rat can make its way out. Another solution to this problem is to throw a bunch of trash in the dumpster so that it mounds up high enough that the rat can escape. Once you have done either of these things, be sure to get away from the dumpster so that the rat does not come into contact with you.
