How To Deal With Rat Infestation In Prison Architect

Rat infestations can quickly become a problem in Prison Architect if left unchecked. Fortunately, there are several effective methods to manage and eliminate rats from your prison. This guide covers three proven strategies: setting up traps and deterrents, calling pest control, and training your staff to handle infestations independently.

Method 1: Set Up Traps and Sonic Rat Deterrents

The most straightforward approach to dealing with rats is to place traps and sonic deterrents in infested areas. Start by navigating to the objects menu and search for “rat” to find the available options.

You’ll see two items available:

• Rat Trap
• Sonic Rat Deterrent

Place these items throughout your infested areas—common problem zones include kitchens, storage areas, and dining halls. For best results, alternate between rat traps and sonic deterrents to create overlapping coverage that will catch rats and drive them away.

Method 2: Call Professional Pest Control

If your rat infestation becomes severe, you can request professional help through the emergencies system. This is your fastest option for immediate results.

To call pest control:

1. Click on Emergencies located at the bottom of your screen
2. Select Pest Control from the available options
3. Watch the right side of the screen—you’ll see confirmation that pest control is on their way
4. The pest control team will arrive and spray the affected areas automatically

Method 3: Train Staff for Long-Term Pest Control

For a sustainable solution, train your staff to handle pest control independently. This method ensures your prison can manage rat infestations without constantly calling external help.

To set up staff pest control training:

1. Go to Programs
2. Navigate to Staff Programs
3. Locate the Pest Control Training program
4. Start the program to begin training your staff members

Once your staff completes this training, they will automatically manage full rat traps and dispose of rats caught in your traps. This is especially useful for maintaining a rat-free prison long-term.

Summary

You now have three effective methods to combat rat infestations in Prison Architect:

• Immediate solution: Place rat traps and sonic deterrents in infested areas
• Quick fix: Call professional pest control through the emergencies menu
• Long-term solution: Train your staff in pest control to handle infestations independently

Use a combination of these methods based on your situation, and you’ll keep your prison free from rat problems.
