It can be an unpleasant surprise to discover a rodent inside your home. You may panic at first and wonder how best to tackle the problem. While there are many methods of rodent control available, not all of them are effective.

You can save time by avoiding these strategies, all of which will only prolong the process of eliminating those pesky visitors from your property:

  • rodent controlMousetraps: While mousetraps may help catch one or two of these unwelcome pests, they won’t do much if the actual problem is due to a widespread infestation. The other problem with traps is that mice quickly learn to evade them. You may feel like you’re managing the problem, only to discover the mice are simply darting around the traps and multiplying.
  • Noise Control: Electronic rodent control devices can only do so much. The traditional style plugs into a wall outlet and produces a high-pitched sound that is only audible to pests. It may help keep them away for a while, but, eventually, they will grow accustomed to the noise and come right back.
  • Homemade Remedies: There are many homemade rodent removal methods floating around out there. Soaking cotton balls with peppermint oil, concocting a hot pepper spray, or mixing up chocolate and cement are all questionable strategies that won’t have much of an effect on an infestation. More importantly, they can cause harm to kids and pets if they get into the wrong hands.
