Rats and mice can quickly infest a home and create considerable damage to your property, in addition to posing a health risk to all members of the household. Mice and rodents can be difficult to manage if you do not have the appropriate pest control measure in place, and many pest control service providers can help you with mouse traps, rodent traps, and other techniques to bait these pests.

The two most common rodents are the rat and the house mouse. Both of these types can squeeze into very small spaces, and are strong climbers, swimmers, and jumpers. Signs of a rat, rodent, or mouse infestation include chewed boards, fabrics, and mouse droppings throughout the area. Sometimes the mice will only come out at night, and can start to move into kitchen and living space areas after hibernating in a garage or attic.

Mice generally will occupy a very small territory, and will travel only a few feet to find food and nest in an area. You can set up a mouse trap to help eliminate various nesting sites, but trapping and baiting can be lengthy process. Common signs of a rat infestation include odor, stains, rodent-gnawed food, and nests that are burrowed into holes or cracks in the wall. Rodents in particular will create runways to move from place to place, and can leave marks along these runways as they use them continuously.

The best way to extend mouse pest control in your home is to eliminate food sources. You’ll always want to store garbage bags outside as long as they are covered by a tight-fitting lid. You won’t want to leave ripe fruit or vegetables out in the open, since these can quickly decay and will be highly attractive to mice. Food scraps and compost piles should also be closely monitored.

Adding a trapping system to the home is a valuable solution to managing mice and rodent pests, but it’s important to remember that these are very poisonous contraptions that may be harmful to children or anyone that touches them directly. Each baiting system may include bacon, oatmeal, apples, and peanut butter spread onto the center of the trigger. Multiple feeding baits will result in the mouse dying after repeated feeding. This can be a very effective strategy for mouse pest control.
