Mice and rats are pests that can be commonly found in many homes. These pests go from room to room hunting for food, and they like to make their homes inside the nooks and crannies of houses where they can be warm and not be in extreme temperatures, as well as be safe from predators such as snakes, eagles, and hawks.
These pests can easily get into homes through the tiny holes and vents, and even small cracks in the walls and doors. If they cannot get into the house under the doors or through windows, they will climb up pipes until they find a small hole where they can get through.
Rats and mice are disease carriers. They will leave their waste on food items, utensils, and basically anything and everything they happen to be on. As a result, it becomes easy for anyone in the house to develop diseases. Since rats and mice will go anywhere and everywhere, including drain pipes, garbage bins, and even the filthiest of places, they are extremely dirty.
Mice and rats need to be exterminated in order to prevent problems like damaged furniture, contaminated food, and diseases. Many rodent control methods exist, and most of them are meant to kill rats and mice. However, they can sometimes have adverse effects on humans and pets such as cats and dogs.
A lot of the products for rodent control have toxic chemicals that will kill rats and mice, and they can also be harmful to other animals and humans if they are ingested accidentally. Thanks to advancements in science and technology, though, we now have rodent control methods that are completely safe for humans and pet animals yet effective at getting rid of mice and rats.
One good example of the latest rodent control methods is the electronic mouse trap. This mouse trap is a small box that comes with rechargeable batteries, an electronic circuit, and a LED indicator. The entrance of this device is tunnel shaped and there is an outlet at the back. Electronic mouse traps neither uses nor emits toxic chemicals that can pollute the air. You can place this mouse trap in the corners of your home. Place a small piece of bread, butter, or any food item in the tunnel shaped inlet; this will serve as your bait. When a mouse enters the tunnel, it will come into contact the circuit, electrocuting the mouse. You will know if a mouse or rat is dead inside the electronic mouse trap by the blinking of the LED indicator, which is not going to stop blinking until you empty the trap. The best product on the market for this type is the Rat Zapper Ultra.
Then there are the traps that catch live mice. These traps let you get rid of the mouse and rat infestation in your home minus the gory blood. These traps do not kill the mice and rats, and they certainly will not pose any threat to your pets or even small kids since there are not any springs or metal rods that snap. Instead, this modern rodent control method is an transparent box that has an opening on top. You place a bait inside this box, attracting rats and mice to climb up and inside the box. Once a rat or mouse is inside, it will not be able to get out. You can easily dispose of the mouse somewhere far away.
