Mouse Trapping and Rat Trapping
Trapping is an effective method for rodent control. These traps may include the usual wooden traps or there are more advanced traps like live rodent traps. The main reason why most people prefer mice trapping as a method is that they know the exact place where the rodent has died. This way you can stop that ugly smell from permeating your home or workspace. It also reduces the chances of any bacterial infection which might spread as a result of the dead rodent lying about for a long period of time. The following are some of the ways in which trapping can be made more effective:
• Using baits. Since most rodents keep away from mouse traps or rat traps they need to be alerted of a new food source. Once the start regularly eating off the source, it can then be placed inside bait which will easily lure the mouse or rat and kill it.
• Also make sure to place the baits in the usually runway of the mice and rats. Since these rodents hardly deviate from a set path it’s important to place a bait in the trap in the usual place which they frequent.
Rodent Poison
There are quite a number of poisonous baits available in the market. These include:
• Ready to use anticoagulants
• Bait stations which have a small space to keep the bait
• Repellents. However repellents prove to be ineffective once the mice get used to the smell of it.
Safety Measures
Keep the following things in mind when dealing with a rodent infestation
• Make sure to wear safety gloves when cleaning rat carcasses or rat droppings
• Always disinfect the traps before storing them for further use.
• Always wash your hands after using any sort of poisonous bait.
