1. And the first thing you need to put a mousetrap, which are the easiest way to destroy uninvited guests gray. Many people think about the inhumanity of such a method, see, like wounded animals suffer. People are looking for other ways, how to derive mice, not knowing, that even now there are quite humane mousetrap, not to kill and maim small animals.

• Mouse, caught in a (cm. pictured below) device, you can simply carry away from his home and released in any suitable for that location in your opinion.

Council! When using this kind of mousetraps sure that, that frightened little animal did not bite you through the gaps between the bars.

• mousetrap same, shock spring provided with high-quality, provide instant death of the rodent. such devices (mostly Chinese-made) Now one can easily find in the specialized and hardware stores.
• An apparatus for humane trapping rodents, if desired, and the ability to make and can be independently. Many schemes makeshift safe mousetraps posted on the Internet in the public domain.

Failures with mousetraps are most commonly associated with the, that these devices establish either insufficient, or entirely in the wrong places. Under the rules of the mousetrap put in the path of movement of gray rodents every 2 m (eg, mouse in kitchens is usually run along baseboards). And as bait is best to use no cheese (it can impart an unpleasant smell in the room), and pieces of chocolate or oat grains.

1. Mice can not stand the smell of mothballs, that allows you to drive them out of the house by folding pieces of this substance in burrows, and moves in the path of movement.
2. To display the mice from a private house, You can apply a modern and humane method - ultrasonic repeller. For a person not hear ultrasound, and mice are very sensitive to it. As a result, the rodents leave the room in a panic, where this device is installed.

But it is important to consider some nuances regarding its use:

• Repeller operates in a limited area, often up 100 m². In addition, the site should be open - ultrasound does not penetrate through walls.
• You need to install the device in places, where the mouse mink.
• It has the same effect on pets: rats, hamsters, decorative mice and guinea pigs. But if you Kosha, dog or rabbit, you can safely install the repeller.

enough Time, click to leave your home. But in some cases, these devices are ineffective: with time rodents become accustomed to ultrasound, and live quietly in the house, where he works repeller. In addition, animals may be a fancy place, at which the action of the device is not covered.

1. You can catch a mouse without a mouse trap, but this method can not be called very humane. Special adhesive, intended to get rid of rodents, is applied to the smooth surface. In this case, the bait is not needed, a means in itself odorless, attractive gray robbers. but, creature, Caught in a trap, painfully dies.
2. Not caring about humanity, You can also get rid of rodents in the house by using poisoned baits, preparing for popular recipes. Mice like flour and sugar, which allows to deal with them with the help of this method:

• mix flour, quick lime and sugar;
• Pour this mixture into the corner of the kitchen;
• Next to put a container with water.

After eating dry sweet bait, Mouse tries to drink more. It is easy to imagine, what a nightmare it is happening to her on. This method in the villages of old rid of rats and mice in the building. but, not everyone is able to condemn a small creature such suffering with the available modern methods of struggle against rodents.

• Another cruel and outdated method is unfolding bait, consisting of cork pieces, plastered in animal fat. Mouse, swallowed plug, painfully die from clogging the stomach and intestines.
  

  note! children, had discovered dying animals, psychological trauma can be applied. Try to protect their children from such a sight.

And generally speaking, These traditional methods, really it is too cruel, used today except in remote villages.

Ready chemical warfare agents

The shape of the release of several types of poisons:

• aerosols. Their action is, that a film is formed on the treated surface. In contact poisons is on rodent fur, and with licks to get inside.
• Powders and granules. They pour in corn or other food for mice.
• Ready money in the form of briquettes, tablets or powders. Their advantage is, that does not need to be added to food for mice.
• liquids. Designed to handle the mouse food.

For the destruction of rats and mice, you can use ready-made poison baits, so called rodenticides. They also cause a painful death rodents, but, triggered relatively quickly. They poured into disposable plates or on a piece of paper and placed in a wrong place, which will be available for children and any pets. The effect of the drug are waiting for three weeks. In that case, if the mouse has not gone, on their way to set traps.

note! Mouse - quite fairly clever creatures, and, if their community had already suffered from the effects of these baits, they can simply refuse to eat it.

Industry today manufactures bacterial preparations, which are safe for humans, and animals (excluding, of course, mice and rats). These drugs refers, eg, Baktorodentsid, containing grains, infected with the causative agent of murine typhus. And even if only one mouse eats a "poison", it quickly infect the entire population - in just a few days there will be absolutely nothing from the colonies.

Important! Not all drugs are equally safe! Some funds for the destruction of rodents are deadly poisonous and for the people, so, working with such preparations, you must comply strictly with all the nuances, set out in the application instructions.

Always remember the following:

• Poisons are kept strictly out of reach of children and pets all (do not forget about the neighborhood, as well as the "coming" furry friends).
• Besides, such substances should be stored away from food.
• It is impossible in any case to keep toxic substances under the kitchen sink, because there are usually stored, and various household powders, and, unless you, then someone from the family members, sooner or later they may confuse.
• By choosing to shop rodetentsid, If possible, avoid funds, which contain substances, deadly to humans and domestic animals - such, like strychnine and arsenic. Remember, that poisoned rodents can eat any domestic dog or cat - like your, and neighbor. AND, if it happens, it is almost certainly an animal dies (provided, that he did not immediately veterinary care will be provided).
• If the poisoning still occurred, Keep the packaging of the product and show it to the doctor, because on it will be shown, from what it suffered poison pet or person.
• Working with poisons, Always wear rubber gloves.

Modern chemical poisons to control rodents (such, as a storm, Mortorat and other) spared the main shortcoming of all the poisonous baits - died from poisoning the mouse will not fill the room the smell of rotting, as her body mummified. Some drugs act differently - when poisoned animal tends to leave the premises as soon as possible and runs out into the fresh air.

If you do not have a cat, then using these methods of struggle against rodents from time to time, the mouse will still attempt to run into your house - so to speak, "Exploration".

AND, finding food in the house, and heat, they will remain. Not only that - certainly acquire offspring. Of course, in this case you will have to start all over again.
