Home Ways

Alternative methods against mice and rats are safe for pets and humans, but they are not always able to cope with a large number of rodents. Rats are incredibly smart. Once one of the flocks gets caught on the bait, the rest of the animals will bypass the dangerous place. For effective rodent control need to know what rats and mice are afraid of.

If mice and rats are wound up by neighbors, then you can protect your home with the help of herbs. They will not be able to destroy pests, but they will scare them away from the apartment:

• chamomile;
• tansy;
• sagebrush;
• rat rat or black root.

Plant these grass from mice and rats around the perimeter of the plot, if you live in your house. Residents of apartments can arrange "bouquets" in each room.

On a note!

Instead of plants, you can use essential oil. They put it in a mug with warm water or use an aroma lamp.

If the creatures made their way into the housing, then you should act quickly. You can prepare a tool for the destruction of animals according to one of the following recipes:

1. Mix 50 g of flour, 20 g of gypsum and 20 drops of unrefined oil. Put water next to the bait. The mixture, combined in the stomach with water, will harden and cause the death of the pest.
2. Mix 100 g flour, 100 g soda, 150 g sugar. Lay out the bait on rat trails. Soda produces gas in the stomach of the rodent, which leads to its death.
3. Grind wood ash into crumbs and fill it with rat passages. The substance corrodes the skin of animals, so they will have to leave the home.

Rodents do not tolerate the smell of humans. The ingredients of a home remedy are mixed with a wooden spatula in a clean disposable tableware.

The device manufacturers claim that ultrasonic rodent repeller safe for humans and can be used both in the apartment and in the country. It produces ultrasonic waves that cause a feeling of fear and discomfort in small animals and insects. Small mammals can not breed, they behave uneasily, lose their appetite. As a result, pests run away from the house they seized.

Humane ways to fight rats and mice

A safe for animals does not kill rats and mice. It catches pests, and man releases living creatures away from his home. With a colony of pests this method can not be dealt with, but you can get rid of lost rodents.

2. Zürner's trap. It is a cage with a bridge. A rat or mouse, attracted by the bait, runs along a bridge that leans under its weight. The beast falls down, and the bridge rises again.

You can buy these products from rodents in a specialized store or make do-it-yourself rat trap.

Ultrasonic repeller can also be considered a humane way to get rid of living creatures. Although it causes discomfort to animals, it does not kill them.

A reliable means for catching rodents can be made from improvised materials:

2. Take a three-liter jar and grease it with unrefined oil. Set the container at an angle and put the bait inside: a piece of fat or cheese. A rat or mouse will climb over food and will not be able to get back. The animal will slide along the walls of the vessel.

Devices are of several types:

1. Classical It was invented in 1884 and is still popular with this mousetrap. Once the animal reaches for food, the steel shutter slams shut and kills the animal.
2. Sticky. The rodent sticks to the surface where it inflicts glue for rats and mice, and cannot get out. This device is referred to the most cruel methods of fighting with mice.
3. With infrared sensor. The model is made in the UK. An animal, running through a mouse trap tunnel, crosses infrared rays. The trap slams and fills with water with carbon dioxide.

Zoodefenders oppose this means of struggle in the house with mice. Devices do not always kill an animal instantly and cause suffering.

Pied Piper Animals

Pets are used to kill pests. The most famous rat-catchers are cats. Predators prey on small animals and quickly destroy them. Residents of private houses resort to the help of baleen. The kitten should be born in a rat-cat. His mother will teach him to search and catch mice.

Cats living in apartments rarely open the hunt. They have enough food and no need to hunt for food. Pedigree cats most often do not know how to catch mice. But their owners claim that the cat's smell discourages pests from the desire to settle in the house.

Others resort to trapping mice using traps. But it is better not to wait for the appearance of uninvited guests and take preventive measures.
