In cities and villages, in private houses and apartments, even in our 21st century, the struggle with rodents does not stop. Most often, black, gray and water rats are the object of the struggle, as well as house mice and ordinary voles. All of them, with the exception of the house mouse, live in the warm season in the field, and only after the arrival of autumn frosts they go to winter for houses and apartments. But for people such neighbors are undesirable. In this article, we'll talk about what methods and methods of fighting rodent mice exist today.

Fighting rodents in the house
It is almost impossible to avoid the penetration of rodents into the house. These pests penetrate the cellars of houses through low-lying ventilation openings, as well as through cellars, windows and doors. Further they run across the existing passages along heating, sewerage, water pipes to houses and apartments. Especially rodents love cluttered damp rooms, but they can also settle in a fairly safe home, where they will spoil clothes and shoes, food and books, and gnaw the bark of fruit trees in the garden. If a house is wounded in household buildings, the harm from it will be colossal. Rats will attack young animals, they can easily bite a rabbit, a small pig, not to mention ducks and chickens. Also, rodents are dangerous carriers of human and animal infectious diseases (rabies, plague, tularemia, leptospirosis and others). Rodents also suffer from invasive diseases. Thus, if a rodent is seen in the house, it is necessary to fight with it. But how?
Methods and methods of fighting rodent mice
In order to get rid of rodents in the house, you need to create conditions in which rodents could not live, eat and multiply. That is, it is necessary to combine precautionary measures against the fighter, remembering that getting rid of rodents now, you do not get a guarantee that you have got rid of them forever. Regular maintenance of cleanliness and order and storage of food in inaccessible places should become a habit of all people living in the house.
Also, considering the way rodents enter the room, such precautionary measures should be taken to control them, such as closing with a wire mesh with a diameter of loops no more than ten millimeters of all low-lying ventilation openings, cellar windows and manholes. Also it is necessary to glaze all the windows of the basement premises, and to cover the wooden doors with sheets of iron to a height of up to half a meter, and cover all the openings in the room with a solution of cement or alabaster, and densely lay with bricks.
fighting rodents with folk remedies
Destructive measures against rodents by folk remedies include biological, mechanical and chemical methods. The most effective and safe method of fighting rodents is biological - these are their natural enemies - dogs and cats, and also owls.
Installation of petting and spring traps in the house is a mechanical method of fighting rodents. In order for a rat or mouse to approach the belly or the trap at a dangerously close distance, it is necessary to put bait in them, for example, a piece of bread, fried in sunflower oil.
However, in our time, the most common method is the chemical method of controlling rodents - this is the method of laying baits with poison in the room, namely various products attractive to mice and rats, as well as feed and water, previously mixed with dangerous poisons. These baits can be purchased at specialized horticultural stores. Most often, special poisonous baits from grain or dough with poison inside. These baits must be spread along the skirting boards, and also if possible in the habitats and locations of rats and mice, you can put them directly into mouse and rat burrows. Do not be afraid that the mouse or rat will die in the room and lie there, making an unpleasant smell. Modern means of the method is such that rodents begin to lack air, why they run out into fresh air (to the street) and already there die from suffocation. You can also put poisonous baits in specially designed boxes, in which holes are cut from the side (so that the rodents can penetrate them).
Particularly effective is the method of chemical control of rodents in early spring or late autumn, because then they begin to have problems with finding food due to its deficiency. In this case, they find poisoned baits and eat them.
Here it is necessary to remember that using the poison, it is necessary to observe the precautionary measures. So, wear gloves, wash your hands. Take the poison, do not sniff it and do not try. Wash hands afterwards. Do not allow pets and small children to approach her.
control of rodents by ultrasound
The fight against mice-like rodents reached a new, modern level. Today you can get rid of mice and rats, even without straining yourself. And so to speak, not messing with your hands. This was made possible by the invention of ultrasonic devices, original combat "cannons" that literally beat the ears of rodents, causing them uncomfortable uncomfortable feelings of anxiety, which they seek to avoid, and therefore leave the house. Thus, ultrasound is the most humane means of getting rid of rodent mice. He does not kill them, does no harm, but simply throws them out of the room and does not allow them to return, live and multiply in it.
Usually the result is visible already within the first month after the beginning of application of ultrasound. Initially, mice just behave unusually, maybe restlessly, and even more actively than ever, but later still leave the house.
Buying an ultrasound repeller of the mouse rodents, stop at a more powerful, if necessary, impact on pests living in a large area. However, for a residential house it is better to buy several small appliances than one big one. After all, ultrasound does not penetrate the walls well, being absorbed by them and reflected off obstacles. He can not also turn the corner of the room. And, therefore, in each room you need to install a separate device (or, if you buy one, install it in different parts of the house alternately).
And remember that this is not a panacea for rodents. It is necessary to use different methods and methods simultaneously and continuously, in order to prevent their reproduction and harmful activity. For millennia of human existence, the account in this struggle, unfortunately, is not in our favor.
However, if all the above methods and methods of struggle, both popular and modern, have proved ineffective, then we advise you nevertheless to turn to the sanitary-epidemiological stations.
