Mice Extermination
It is advisable to take action at the first sign of a mouse infestation. Populations grow rapidly and are extremely difficult to eradicate. It is best to target infestations when colonies are small.
Conventional mouse extermination methods include the use of snap traps, glue traps, live traps or electronic mousetraps. Homemade mousetraps may also be utilized. Snap traps, electronic traps and glue traps are designed to kill captured specimens, while live traps require homeowners to release caught mice into the wild.
The use of poison is not advisable within the home. Rodent poisons prove extremely dangerous to humans and house pets. After ingesting poison, mice often retreat to their nesting places within walls to die. This results in foul odors that are difficult to eliminate. Generally, the use of poison is advised only for extreme infestations, although professional pest control methods are safer and more effective.
