The best remedies for mice

The appearance of rats or mice in the house causes many people to panic and desire to quickly leave the room. Especially often people living in private houses are exposed to rodents. These small animals, with their rustling and squeaking, cause great discomfort to a person, depriving him of a quiet sleep and rest. In addition, they spoil household appliances and electrical wiring, furniture and food. Their unpleasant specific smell is impregnated with all clothes and bedding. And most importantly, rodents are distributors of diseases dangerous to humans. Therefore, you need to know how to deal with pests. What are the most effective remedies for mice, you will learn in this article.

Conventionally, rodent control methods can be divided into:

Chemicals

Today, the market is replete with a host of pesticides designed to kill tailed pests. Chemicals against mice come in different variations: in the form of suspensions, powder, solution, gel or briquettes.

Mouse poison

  1. The rats remedy is in great demand among consumers. Based on brodifacum, the briquette is effective not only against mice, but also rats. The drug is not afraid of moisture and sunlight, therefore it is convenient for use in basements, sewers, as well as in places with a more aggressive environment.
  2. Broadifan is no less popular. The unique formula of this poisonous liquid is not recognized by rodents. The drug serves as a bait, when eaten which causes suffocation and inevitable death in mice.
  3. Testox is another chemical remedy for mice that comes in pill form. They are laid out at a distance of 3 m from each other around the entire perimeter of the pest-infected premises, and especially in places where the highest activity of animals is observed.
  4. Varat is the best remedy for mice. The active substance in it is brodifacum - a poison that blocks blood coagulation and causes suffocation of animals. The complete death of mice occurs after two weeks from the moment of eating the bait spread in the habitats of pests.
  5. Means Rat death has a similar composition. According to customer reviews, the mice, feeling imminent death, tend to quickly get out into the fresh air. This avoids the process of disposal of dead individuals. Analogues of this drug can be called Zookumarin, The Nutcracker or Hunter Antigryzun.

Any of the above chemicals can be bought at a specialty store or ordered online.

Feedback

To destroy in the house of mice bought the tool Rat Death. The drug turned out to be very effective. However, the process of extermination of rodents is not for the faint of heart. Somewhere on the third day, intoxicated pests began to crawl out of their minks right in the middle of the room, where they died after a while.

Precautionary measures

The use of chemicals means observing the following precautions:

  • it is strictly forbidden to carry out treatment with poisons in the house where children and pets live;
  • use gloves to prepare and apply the poison;
  • a poisonous agent is used in accordance with the instructions;
  • the remains of the uneaten bait should be removed before the arrival of households.

Folk remedies

These are the safest ways to deal with tailed pests for human health.

  1. Ash. Rodents will not enter the room if wood ash is scattered around the house. In this case, the alkali contained in the ash has an effect, which, when hit on the legs of mice, corrodes them.
  2. Ledum marsh, pharmacy chamomile, elderberry or wormwood are plants with repellent properties. They negatively affect pests due to essential oils, which are contained in large quantities in their composition. These plants can be used both fresh and dried.
  3. Mice are also afraid of the smell of peppermint, tansy and black root. There will be no rodents in the house if there are beds with these plants in the adjacent territory.
  4. Boric acid. It is enough to sprinkle the powder near the holes and along the baseboards of the room and the rodents will no longer appear in it. However, this method can not be used if there are small children and pets in the house.
  5. You can also get rid of rodents with the help of bait, for the preparation of which you will need 0.5 kg of gypsum, 0.3 kg of flour and 0.2 kg of sugar. Cooked ingredients are mixed and sprinkled in small containers. Having eaten sweet treats, a blockage of the gastrointestinal tract occurs in the rodent.

Feedback

Previously, mice attacked every year until they planted black root near the house. Rodents do not tolerate the smell of this plant.

Ultrasonic Repellers

Another humane and well-proven remedy for mice and rats is the use of ultrasonic repellers. The principle of their work is the development of ultrasonic vibrations of different frequencies that adversely affect the nervous system of animals. As a result, the animals are embraced by a sense of panic and fear, which forces them to leave this territory. Usually the room is completely cleaned of animals within 2-3 weeks.

Important!

For humans, this ultrasound is completely invisible, and also completely safe. It is unacceptable only for decorative rodents living in a person’s house (hamsters, guinea pigs or chinchillas).

Ultrasonic repellers are installed not only in the apartment, they are also used in the country, in the office, in the warehouse, in the greenhouse or in the greenhouse. When choosing this device, you should specify the area of ​​exposure that this device is able to cover. Otherwise, a positive result is unlikely to succeed.

Pointing to the shortcomings, perhaps the only drawback of these units is their high cost. The price range varies depending on the model of the device within 400-5000 rubles. Yes, and you can not install such a device everywhere. So the repeller will be useless in the garden and especially in the field.

Well-known are the following models of ultrasonic repellers:

  • Hail;
  • Clean house;
  • Riddex Plus Pest Repeller;
  • Tornado and others.

Feedback

We have three young children, so the pesticides for fighting mice are completely unacceptable. We decided to use the Clean House ultrasonic repeller for this purpose. And they did not regret it at all. Although in the first days the mice ran like crazy, by the end of the second week we had practically forgotten about them. The device has been working for the second month, and not a single rodent has been encountered during this time. Recommend.

Physical means

Rodent traps
Rodent traps
The physical method of pest control is the use of mousetraps, glue and electric traps, as well as live traps.

  1. Mousetraps are perhaps the oldest and most proven way of fighting rodents.Its advantages are a simple method of application, affordable cost and safety (if you exclude contact with this device). Such designs can significantly reduce the number of mouse populations, but it is unlikely to completely get rid of pests.
  2. The best remedy for mice is electric traps. Bait is installed inside them, the aroma of which attracts pests in such a way. The animal that gets into the camera kills the discharge of electric current.
  3. Glue traps are a less humane way of fighting, since all households will be forced to listen for some time to the plaintive squeak of an adherent pest. In addition, it is unsafe to install such structures in a house where there are small children and pets.
  4. Zhovolovki - devices that do not kill, but only catch mice.

On a note!

Release the mouse from the live trap away from home. Otherwise, the animal will return there again in search of suitable food.

Feedback

On the advice of a friend, he purchased the Victor Multi Kill electric mousetrap - a super design that works quietly and impeccably. Just manage to free the container from dead mice. I recommend a very useful little thing.

A cat or cat is another way to fight mice. However, not every animal has such hunter skills. And it will be difficult for one animal to cope with a whole population of pests.

The most effective remedy against rodents is deratization. High-quality processing of the premises will be carried out by employees of the pest control service, using special toxic substances.

    My mouse nibbles on the ceiling in one place. Sometimes it gets out at night. But as soon as the cat gets into the attic, the silence is complete.! The whole problem is that the cat will not be able to catch it, since it is under a layer of mineral wool, and wind protection is also on top. But the presence of his business makes the mouse quiet and does not rustle. So a cat is the best remedy for mice. It is necessary to lock it in the attic and serve food. Then there will be silence. Unless, of course, the cat himself will not yell to let him go for a walk
