  • Damaging structures, buildings, bridges, electric wires and cables, etc, by gnawing and burrowing; 
  • Damaging and contaminating goods and packaging, clothing, and furniture. 

They just have adverse effects on your health and wealth. 

If you spot evidence of a rodent infestation, do not hesitate swinging into action to handle the problem effectively, Rodents are known to reproduce quickly, and a minor problem can turn into a major issue overnight if left untreated.

 

 

How to Control A Rodent Infestation

 

1. Remove Sources of Food and Water: One of the best war tactics is to cut off enemy supplies. You can apply this in your war against rodents. Remember you are taking no prisoners. Cover your buckets of water before going to bed, bag your wastes before placing in a garage bin, while covering properly with a lid.

 

2.Clean your home: Don't give rodents a reason to stay around your home. Rodents like to hide. If you have stuff stacked up and cluttered, sure they'd come to stay. Declutter and organize your house as much as you can.

 

3. Use Baits: You must have heard of using baits to catch rats without harming them, then releasing them somewhere away from your home...

 

 

Dear eco-friendly, rodent perturbed, solution seeking user, rats and mice are quite innumerable on our planet.

 

Killing 2 or 20 in your home will not by any means disrupt the ecosystem because rodents proliferate like crazy.

 

Also, the safe and far-away-from-home place you're going to drop them could be someone else's home.

 

So, you'll succeed in transferring your problem, not eliminating it.

 

The only reason why we won't subscribe to poisonous baits is because your kids and pet can eat them. If not, why not?

 

Entice rodents with baits; fish, dry fruits, nuts, etc. And when you catch 'em, kill 'em!

 

4. Plant Traps: Identify rodent routes and hide outs and strategically place a traps.

It could be a sticky trap, or a type that closes up when rodents step on it.

 You know what to do with them when they're caught.

 

5. Call the Experts:  Rodent control and management are important for health and safety reasons. If you suspect a rodent infestation, call for professional Pest Control services. 

 Rodents are fast, no doubt. You will need help catching them and freeing your home.
