How to get rid of a rodent?
Have you ever lay in bed at night and think that you hear something gnawing / scratching somewhere out there? You may have another type of non-paying customer fare. These vary from small to rather big ants and especially in the winter months you will find metropolitan Perth residents coming across them. The chill sets in, food becomes scarce and suddenly your warm home smells delicious to mice looking for a warm place to live along with an easy meal from anything you left over on the kitchen counter.
If you want to avoid mice at home, here is some good feedback on how to properly deal with these roaming species.
1. Trap Placement: A good idea is to use both glue traps and baited traps. This is a great combination because it basically doubles your odds of getting the smart mice that would evade one type or another.
2. Bait: Lure the mice to your traps with bait such as chocolate or peanut butter. Ultimately bait stations are mouse magnets and you will get to catch more mice quickly. There are some toxic baits too, but these truly work. But these also carry way more hazards and if not placed correctly could be dangerous for pets & kids. If in a household with other pets, it is imperative these are used judiciously and kept well away from your non-target animals.
3. This brings us to our next point: Possibly get a cat. Cats are not only very cute but natural hunters too. Mice are actually aware of the smell that a cat leaves behind and will avoid homes with cats. Additionally, if a mouse does make it into your home, the cat might deal with that promptly.
4. Contact professionals at Perth: In Perth, you can contact the professionals of Ecoguard Rat Control Perth Ltd to get rid of rodents.
Yet don't forget, working with mice does not have to be a difficult endeavor. Armed with these tips, you can keep your house safe and peaceful without Mickey or Minnie taking up residence under the couch.
