Tips On Dealing With Mice And Rodent Problems

By Cliford Waluhan


Mice can look adorable with their pink noses and cute whiskers. However, they can cause destruction in a home, if they are not controlled. Even a mouse can greatly multiply and eat through your electrical wires and leave a trail of their black droppings all over the place. It can be very frustrating to try and find something in your house, only to find that mice have eaten through your things. But this doesn't have to be the case. By implementing this advice from Hopkinton MA Pest Control, you will be able to eliminate mice from your home.

One of the most popular solutions that a lot of people go for is using a spring release trap to catch the mice. Traditionally, these traps are loaded with cheese, so as to attract mice. These traps are quite effective.

Glue traps and live catch traps also work. The glue traps are less humane as they glue the mouse in place when he steps on the sticky substance and he basically dies of starvation. The live catch traps catch the mice and allow you to release them away from homes so they don't return. Contrary to popular belief, a better bait than cheese is to use peanut butter, bacon or chocolate.

Having these animals like snakes or cats may help control some of the mouse population in your home as both enjoy a good meal of mouse. They are a touch-and-go solution, however, as you can't guarantee either can catch mice.

You can also keep various pets that eat mice. This includes having a cat or snakes. The only problem with this method is that it is not guaranteed, since you are not sure whether the pets will eat the mice or not. You can also opt to poison the mice. This often brings good results and it's a less cumbersome process.

The best solution is to prevent the mice from getting to your house in the first place. This is by hiring pest control company to spray your compound with repellent. These professionals will also seal any holes that rodents use to get into your house.
