Rodents are not only a nuisance for homeowners but also, they can burn a hole in your pocket unless the issue is dealt with properly. Rodents, when left to breed on your property grounds, can spread disease and prove very destructive. While rats and mice tend to hide, there are ways of noticing an infestation, such as urine trails, droppings and damage to furnishings. You may also notice a musky odour if rodents have made their way into the home. While feeding and nesting behaviours can differ, the following four rodent control solutions will prove effective for preventing plastic gnawing, sightings and dirty tracks.
Traps
If you don’t want to use poison or chemicals to keep rodents at bay, consider laying traps in the home. Traps can be used to lure in vermin, whether it’s with food or a particular scent. When the rodent approaches the trap, it will kill it rapidly. The best thing about traps is that they create no mess, so there’s no need to clean up after the nuisances that enter your property. If you haven’t yet dealt with a rodent infestation but think there is a chance that it might occur, take preventative measures. Cleaning up mess and absorbing damp are two ways in which you can keep rodents away.
Repellent
Millions of people choose repellent to control rodents, simply because it is a straightforward yet effective method. Repellent is a great way to manage infestations, especially if the infestation is at an advanced stage. Rodents can carry lots of diseases and bacteria that can prove harmful to health. Some types of repellent use electro-magnetic and ultrasonic technology, and they can be used in small and large properties, making repellent a preferred choice for business owners.
Smoke Bomb
Insects, like cockroaches and termites, can be killed with the use of an insecticidal smoke generator. Smoke bombs are also suitable for use with rodents, because the gasser technology will kill the rodent without leaving any blood or mess. The only issue with smoke bombs is that they are not suitable for indoor use. The reason for this is because the gas is quite toxic, which can affect the health of pets and humans. Despite this, smoke bombs are ideal if the grounds of your property have lots of rodent burrows. Reduced health risks and an enhanced working/living environment are two benefits of working with RIP Integrated Pest Management Services Sydney.
