Home is a place where each of us wants to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We care not only about a beautiful interior, but also about cleanliness. But unwanted guests can put all our efforts down the drain. Mice spoil furniture, eat food, dirty carpets on the floor ... Rodents can spoil everything from important documents, books to your favorite chair. If you are faced with such an unpleasant problem, then sooner or later you will think about how to get rid of mice quickly and forever. Let's consider the most effective ways.
Classics of the genre: mousetraps
First of all, you need to find out how the mouse sneaks into the room. To do this, sprinkle some flour on the floor overnight. In the morning, you can easily find out where the rodent is coming from. Now you need to purchase a suitable trap. You can use an ordinary mousetrap. However, if there are a lot of pests in the apartment, this method will not be very effective.
Good options for mousetrap fillings:
Raw bacon or lard
A piece of bread soaked in sunflower oil
Peanut
Kozinaki
The advantage of this method is its absolute safety for the residents of the house. If you find this method inhumane, choose a mousetrap that catches the rodent, but does not damage it. Then simply release the pest away from your home. The recommended distance is at least 150 meters.
Glue
Special glue is applied to the tray, in the middle of which the bait is preliminarily placed. The trap will securely hold the beast before you find it. The advantage of this method is that several rodents can be lured to one tray.
Cat
The option is banal, but very effective. And it's not even that your pet will regularly go out on a pest hunt. Even a small kitten, which is only a few months old, will become an excellent mouse repeller. The secret to success is simple: rodents are afraid of cat scent. The disadvantage of this solution is that it is not suitable for everyone. Still allergic to wool has not been canceled.
Technological advances
Are the proposed methods not suitable for some reason? Get an ultrasonic repeller. The tool works completely silently and does not affect the human body. Of course, this method does not lead to the death of mice, but after half a month they will leave your home for a long time. The disadvantage of this option is the rather high cost of the device.
Poison
This is a guaranteed method of getting rid of rodents. Poisons are sold in small packets. There will be no trace of pests.
You can also prepare the poison at home. You need to make a 3/5/2 mixture of flour, sugar and gypsum. Add water to the resulting product. Having tasted such a poison, the beast will die. This method should be chosen if there are small children in the apartment. For them, the use of purchased poisons is unsafe.
Help from specialists
In the most advanced cases, the options presented may be powerless. If you are discouraged after numerous attempts to get rid of mice on your own, seek professional help. Employees of the special service carefully examine the apartment with the help of modern equipment, determine the location of the rodents and find out how they manage to get into the house.
They use several types of chemical poisons to kill mice. It is advisable that you and your family can leave the apartment for the duration of the deratization.
So you finally got rid of the mice. But there is another problem - the remaining unpleasant odor. In this situation, it is advisable to arrange sachets with pleasant aromas in the cabinets.
Thus, there are many methods of rodent control. If you decide to act on your own, try to give preference to the safest options for human health. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
