• Set mouse traps. Mouse traps are a quick and painless way to kill mice and/or rats that have entered your home or office. These devices lure the mouse to a piece of bait. When the mouse goes to pull the food off, the device releases, killing the mouse. These come in many varieties, such as bar, clam, or a hidden kill.
• Set mouse bait. Another popular way to kill mice is to use a poison. One of the most popular types of mouse poison is the kind where the mouse ingests small pellets. They then run off and eventually are killed. These are highly effective, but it can lead to dead mice around your home.
• Live traps. Many homeowners and business owners cannot bring themselves to kill these cute critters, so they use a live trap instead. Here, the mouse or rat is lured into a contained trap, but it can’t get out once it enters. Usually, a mechanism is triggered that closes the door behind it. Once you capture the invading critter, you either must humanely kill it or release it into the wild away from your home.
• Seal up entryways. Stopping mice and rats from entering in the first place is your best bet for ending a rodent infestation. Start by walking the perimeter of your home or office, looking for any holes or openings in your walls. Since rodents are excellent climbers, check your roof eaves as well for entry points, as well as your soffits and chimney. If you find a hole, repair it as soon as possible to prevent further entry.
• Seal up food. Rats and mice are attracted to your food and water sources. OKC Mosquito Militia reminds Oklahoma City and Edmond residents to be sure to keep your food containers sealed up tight, repair any leaky faucets that could be a source of water for rats and mice, and keep your home, especially your kitchen, clean from food bits. Don’t forget your pantry where you keep food for the long-term. This is a favorite spot of rats and mice because you don’t enter all that often.
