Rats and mice cause a huge loss of food worldwide.
Besides
eating our food they spoil it by contamination with their feces, urine,
or fur.
They can be found not only in our homes, but
supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses, food
processing facilities, livestock facilities, and farm fields.
They reproduce rapidly with major activity at night.
Rats tend to be cautious and mice are more curious.
Rats tend to eat most of their food at one time, where mice will nibble a little at a time.
It is important to remove their food sources-but do not disturb the rodent habitat,
until a complete knockdown and elimination occurs before they could move to another area.
A successful rodent control program includes a combination of baiting and trapping for the highest rate of success.
You may also want to consider integrating your program ,with exclusion techniques and a general cleanup ,removal of their hiding places(harboraging areas.)
If the population is large, you will want to begin with a high quality rodent bait, to quickly knock down a population and prevent rapid growth.
Their are different types of baits to choose from:
blocks, pellets, seeds ; each rodent population is different in their preferences, so a little of each is a good choice in bait selections.
When baiting intially , try not to disturb their original habitats or they may run to another area.
After baiting has begun, continue with sanitation procedures, food source removal, and harborage removal to ensure additional rodents from nearby areas are not attracted to your location.
They also cause damage to our buildings by their burrowing and gnawing
activity The word rodent means "to gnaw".
Rodents will gnaw through
many types of materials in order to reach a location including lead sheathing,
cinderblock, aluminum siding and some concrete.
They are able to squeeze
through very small openings:1/4 inch for mice and 1/2 inch for rats.
We
will be covering the three most common type of rodents :
The HOUSE MOUSE, the
NORWAY RAT, and the ROOF RAT.
We also have a section on SQUIRRELS, INSPECTIONS, EXCLUSIONS, AND SANITATION.
