Once you have determined the extent of your rodent/rat problem, there are several nonchemical control methods you should follow first. Fecal droppings (3/4 to 1″ long) along their runways or in areas where they have been feeding is another sign of a rat infestation. Rats run along the same areas over and over leaving worn down paths in grass and dark greasy track marks along foundation walls. Rat burrows usually contain a main entrance and 1 or 2 exit holes away from the main entrance. These burrows are often located under bushes or other types of dense vegetation. Rats create underground pathways or burrows from their nest to food sources and to escape predators.

For example, if a string of words all begin with the sound /sh/, then it could create a sound like waves, typically a very soothing sound. Another practice is to use consonants to create an image. One use of alliteration is to place emphasis on the words which all start with the same sound.
