I’ll start with some questions asked by most clients about rats and mice, and the answers.
Are rats and mice dangerous?
If you are talking about the movie Willard, no. The only times I have seen a rat bite someone, it was in the face, and it was while they were asleep. It was my belief that the person bitten had the smell of tooth paste, or food on there face, and the rat was just trying to get some dinner. It only bit one time, near the mouth. As disturbing as it may have been, I realy dont thik the rat was attacking. There are some major problems caused by rats and mice. They eat food, and contaminate it with urine and fecies. They gnaw into everything! Weather to build a nest, or just to keep teeth sharp, even wires are fair game. Thats how it starts getting dangerous, with fires in the home.They, or the paracites they carry, such as fleas, mites, or worms can spread diseases. They are not socially acceptable. Rats and mice have been a problem for centuries because they have an increadable survival rate and are difficult to eliminate
How long do rats and mice live?
Only about a year in the wild, and 3-4 years in captivity. But they can have up to 84 young in a lifetime!
How can I control rodents?
Store garbage in containors with tight fitting lids.
Clean up spilled or un used pet food. The rats and mice will carry it into the walls of your home and store it there.
Keep bird feeders 50 feet from your home, and use rodent proof bird feeders. Rodents will take advantage of a free meal.
Clean up fallen fruits. If left to lay on the ground, rats will locate the area and move in.
Take away the shelter
A mouse can enter a hole the size of a nickle or smaller. Cracks in the foundation need to be filled with concrete and repaired. Screens and windows in bacements must be in good repair. Seal any holes where pipes and wires come into buildings. Repair any broken sewer lines.
Take away cover
Cleaning up the area, cutting shrubs away from the ground and keeping grass short will take away the materials that rodents use to cover there movement from animals that hunt them. Take away that comfort zone, and they will leave.
Now we have taken away the food, cover and shelter. Would you live in a place like that? Neither will they! I hope this has helped you with your rat or mouse problem.
