Simply reducing the access that rats have to food supplies and shelter is an excellent way to control the critters. If rats are a known or suspected problem, make sure to do things like: Cover all trash cans with tightly fitting, locking lids. Avoid leaving food or waste out in the open. Clean up all crumbs and other debris. Avoid letting things like newspapers, cardboard boxes, or clothing pile up. Keep grass and other plant material trimmed, and discard the trimmings. It's not always easy to tell how rats are getting in your home. They can enter walls and roofs through surprisingly small and out-of the way access points. However, covering any obvious access points (like holes in a wall or roof) will at least slow them down. Cover access points with wood, foam sealant, or similarly solid material. For a thorough job, ask a professional to inspect your home and deal with any potential access points they identify. Though they're not a quick fix, "mousers" can be great at controlling rodent problems. It's true that many cats are excellent hunters, and will pounce on any rats they find, and discourage others from sticking around. You might consider getting a cat for just this reason if you are bothered by the sounds of rats. Cats are not a perfect solution, however.

summary: Get rid of clutter and waste. Cover all potential entryways. Get a cat.

Chasing after or forcing an animal to approach you if it barks, whinnies, or hisses at you can cause you harm and traumatize the animal. The same goes for attempts to claw, kick, or bite you. Remove yourself from the situation to let the animal calm down. Consider putting yourself at the level of the animal to help calm it. Kneel down to smaller animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, or turtles. Avoid putting your face directly in front of an animal's face, which may stress it and cause you harm. Keep in mind that animals respond to you the way you treat them. Animals are much more sensitive to behaviors and smells than humans. No matter what type of animalhorses, cats, dogs, turtles, or birdsapproach them slowly and quietly to avoid scaring them or causing them undue stress. Avoid approaching an animal from its blind spots, which can startle it. This may traumatize the animal or could wind up in an injury for you. Let dogs, cats, and other animals sniff you before you handle it. Extend your hand and let the animal smell you. It will decide if you can approach it more closely from here. Consider washing your hands if you are touching multiple animals as some pets may not like the smell of another species. Give the animal a few seconds or minutes to approach you. Some animals may be naturally timid and need a little while to get used to your presence. Approaching them before an animal shows it wants your attention can cause it stress. If your pet approaches you for attention or you want give her some love by picking her up, move calmly and slowly towards her. If her body seems relaxed, pick her up using correct methods to support her body and prevent harm. Place your hands under the animal's legs or on the legs and belly. This provides a stable base so she feels safe. You can also gently move your arms underneath your animal if she is larger. Remember to stay calm and be patient so that you don't startle your animal. If the animal shows any signs of not wanting to be picked up, allow it to go free and try again another time. Use proper methods for larger animals. For example, if you need to pick up a horse, cow, or a pig, make sure you have the proper equipment such as a crane that supports the legs, head, and belly. Stand up slowly once you have a good handle of your pet. This can minimize the risk of startling the animal and traumatizing it. Avoid picking up an animal by its head, individual legs, or tail. No exceptions, otherwise you can seriously harm and traumatize the animal. Once you've calmly picked up your animal, make sure to assure her and help her relax by keeping a stable hold on her. This can ensure that both of you have a relaxing and enjoying bonding experience. Keep your animal in a balanced position so that she feels safe. Avoid flipping animals, which can not only traumatize, but also harm them. Consider sitting down with your pet to help both of you relax. This may allow the animal to snuggle into you and further establish your bond of trust. Make sure you talk to your pet and stroke her while you are holding her.

summary: Avoid forcing any animal. Approach animals slowly. Pick up your animal calmly. Hold your animal stably.
