There are a few mice in my house. I have tried cleaning the whole house and laid rat glue but it did not help. Does anyone who could have a better idea?
Thanks alot gentlemanfromalberta. I hope it works
I understand it’s not harmful for other animals, as it’s made from Corn kernals. A natural alterntive to chemicals, which we normally use. I hate doing this, but otherwise we wil be overrun with rodents.
I set mouse traps and the Beagles tend to nab one every now and then. I don’t know what Eradibait is. I also use d-con and put it in a safe place next to the mouse trap with peanut butter on it. I do that inside and out. It helps a lot. I have to set traps in the driveway to keep the mice out of the cars. People think I’m nuts, but I’d rather be nuts than rewiring my car because a mouse chewed it up, that’s for sure. The Beagles don’t bother the traps and it works out perfect. For a while I was catching about 6 a day. Finally we hit a drop in population!
I saw a few mice or rats in my backyard. I’m not an expert, so I don’t know exactly what it was, but it looked about 7-8 inches long. I want to get rid of them, and I don’t care if my ways are humane or not. I’m disgusted by them however, so a trap would be least preferable option since it will require handling of the rodents. Is there something I could use, either something smelly or a high-pitched sound generator of some sort that would drive them away? I don’t have any other pets, so interference of the signal with pets is irrelevant.
Cat is also not an option because my wife is allergic to them
1. you could bait them…but you must use a lockable trap to avoid children ,pets or non target animal getting to them
2 you should be able to buy cage type traps which use no poisons and do not hurt the animal….the advantage of this is if what you think is a rat may be a native animal and you can release it in a suitable location…
if they are rats you can kill or release them
you can make a trap your self for outside…..buy some PVC pipe ….cut into a lenght that young kids can’t reach the middle
drill a hole both side of the pipe at centre of length
then wire in wax block rodent baits
Every night I go to sleep they come out. It has gotten so bad that I awoke the other night to mouse on my pillow. I tried to kill the damn thing but it got away. They leave there droppings on my kitchen counter and my stove every night. Please help me get rid of this huge problem. I have kids and I do not want my kids around these rodents.
I can not get a cat because I have asthma and the hair would trigger an attack.
Also my daughter is terrified of cats
Try to find out where they first got into your house, and block the entrance. Block as many holes inside and out as you can find. Especially look around all the electrical outlets. Move furniture, look behind appliances, etc. The expanding insulator foam in a can works pretty well to block the holes.
Then remove all food sources. Wash your dishes every night, clean up crumbs the kids leave under the table, take out the kitchen trash daily, keep bread and crackers and cereal in the fridge or plastic containers, clean the crumbs out of the bottom of the toaster, everything.
Then you can get rid of the mice left in the house. If your kids are small, you can use old-fashioned traps in places they can’t reach. Bait them with peanut butter and set them each night. Check them every morning, before the kids start running around. If your kids are older, like 6yrs and up, you can use mouse poison. Show the kids what it looks like and tell them that it will make them sick. If using traps or poison won’t work for you, then you will need to call an exterminator.
I have 5 dogs and a hugh back yard. I believe rats have tunneled under my wood shed and are living there. My dogs are always chasing them at night. I’m afraid to go into my own back yard. If I use rat poison, the rats will die, and the dogs will eat the rats and die.
You could use something called a live trap, it’ll catch the rats alive. You can release them away from your home and it won’t harm your dogs at all. If you’re too scared of the rats to do this then ask someone else to do it for you.
