Of the more than 20 species of rodents in the Americas and Europe, two common rodents can cause harm to homes or farms. This includes the:
- House mouse
- Black rat (roof rat)
What kind of damage can rodents cause?
Mice and rats can gnaw on building materials, wall panels, electrical wires, wardrobes, cardboard boxes, and more, causing significant damage to your property. They also steal food from your pantry and food supplies in factories. They defecate and urinate everywhere, contaminating your property and spreading diseases.
Are rodents easy to find?
Finding mice and rats is easy; if you pay attention, you will notice the traces they leave behind. These include nesting materials, droppings, gnawed objects, food scraps, or small holes leading outdoors. Even in a quiet house, you might hear them scurrying between walls, in the ceiling, attic, or under the foundation, or even hear them gnawing on things.
How can I get rid of rodents?
Rats and house mice breed frequently, so effectively detecting and eliminating them is crucial. You can differentiate between them based on the shape of their droppings. Rat droppings are approximately 13 millimeters (1/2 inch) long and pointed at both ends; house mouse droppings are approximately 19 millimeters (3/4 inch) long and rounded at both ends.
The best way to get rid of rats is with a rat trap (for small rat infestations or for a few rats). Prepare several spring-loaded mousetraps and place bait on them. The bait can be dried fruit, a mixture of peanut butter and oatmeal, or cheese. Place the mouse traps in areas where mice are frequently seen, with the bait facing the wall.
Small suggestion: The best results are achieved when mouse traps are set after the mice have become accustomed to feeding in that area.
When handling rodents, please wear gloves and avoid touching them directly to prevent leaving scents on the traps. The traps are reusable.
Can I use poison bait to eliminate rodents?
When a rat infestation is very severe, you can use rodent bait stations to kill the rats, reducing or even eliminating the infestation.
Please use poison bait to eliminate the rat infestation within the limits permitted by law.
When placing poisoned bait, place some non-poisoned food nearby to attract the rats to forage.
Use large rodent bait stations, such as plastic mouse trap boxes or metal mouse trap boxes, to place the rodent bait, ensuring that children and pets cannot access it.
After pest control is completed, dead rodents should be removed immediately and all bait stations should be taken away.
How to prevent rodent infestation?
- Cut off the supply of food and water:
- Place garbage in sealed bags.
- Remove food scraps from the yard or house.
- Clean up food scraps and feces from pet enclosures.
- Repair pipes to prevent water leaks.
2.Clear out their hiding places:
- Keep the construction area clean.
- Do not pile up wood or debris.
- Repairing cracks in concrete foundations and footings.
How do you clean areas that have been infested with rodents?
When cleaning areas infested with rats, avoid stirring up dust. Disinfect the area using disinfectants and household cleaning products.
Place feces, nesting materials, and other debris in plastic garbage bags and dispose of the bags by burying, burning, or placing them in a trash can, according to local regulations.
Clean floors, carpets, clothing, and bedding, and disinfect countertops, cabinets, and drawers that have come into contact with mice.
