You woke up because there was scratching noises coming from the ceiling of your bedroom, in the middle of the night. There are not many things worse than finding out that rodents are in your house, yet you can’t figure how they are getting in and what kind of mess they are leaving. Here are couple ways to guard your house from rodent invasion this late spring and summer. I will start with the things that actually work. Begin by removing all garbage, firewood and food (dog and cat food) from the outside of your house. Act fast once you have discovered rodents in your house, they reproduce quickly and grow fast. Use gloves when cleaning up feces and urine from rodents. Also use gloves when handling poisonous rodenticide bait and bait stations, and keep these baits away from children and pets. Okay now the don’ts. Don’t assume that there is only one rodent in your house, so if you kill one keep tying as there is likely more. When using rodenticide baits, always put them outside, in Tier 1 lockable bait stations. Don’t over bait snap traps and use snap trap baits (peanut butter, bacon and ketchup) that are high in protein and fat content. And finally don’t waste your money on ultrasonic rodent repellers, even if people say they work – which they don’t, the rodents will just stay away from the immediate area where the repellers are plugged in.
