Animal traps.

Leave a reply

From time immemorial, for rodent control in the house people use various traps.

Large Animal Traps, snares are used both indoors and outdoors. This method of pest control is relatively safe for humans and pets. All these devices operate on a simple principle: in a trap a bait is placed, a mouse or other rodent comes on its scent and activates a mechanism of a trap or is trapped. Particularly effectively trapping rodents is as follows: first, they are tamed to unaware trap for a long time, refreshing bait every day for 3-5 days, and then the trap leads to “alert” and a pest is cought.

The advantages of this method are visibility of the result and the opportunity to leave the carcass in an accessible location for its further retrieval.
But this positive aspect is also a minus, because the dead rodent must necessarily be taken and recycled.

Many people are familiar with so-called glue traps. Special glue or sticky mass is applied to cardboard or plate, and put in places of rodents possible stay. Sticky traps are good because they do not contain toxic substances and are harmless to humans.
The mouse comes on the smell of the bait and its pads are attached to the sticky surface. But this method is good to deal with small rodents, unfortunately, large rats are often able to escape.

The use of traps and glue traps is an old, time-tested way of dealing with rodents, but, unfortunately, it is effective only if the rodents are not many. Also, if a mouse or rat have got in a trap or snare, they start coming by the dangerous place. Rats are especially careful and cunning no rat will get second time in the same trap. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly change the location of traps, baits and adhesive traps.
