By Cliford Waluhan


You've seen the cute pink noses and whiskers. Mice are cute creatures, but one mouse often turns into an infestation of destruction as they nibble their way through electrical wires and insulation and leave their droppings everywhere. It can be very discouraging to reach for a box of something to cook and find a mouse has chewed through it. It is even worse to find the mouse is still in the package. But there are some helpful suggestions to help you get rid of a rodent nuisance from professional pest control Hopkinton MA.

Consider using spring traps to catch the mice. These traps work by releasing a spring that captures the mouse whenever the mouse is drawn to the spring by the cheese bait that is put in the trap. This is a traditional but popular solution used by many people.

Glue traps and live catch traps also work. The glue traps are less humane as they glue the mouse in place when he steps on the sticky substance and he basically dies of starvation. The live catch traps catch the mice and allow you to release them away from homes so they don't return. Contrary to popular belief, a better bait than cheese is to use peanut butter, bacon or chocolate.

Live traps also work. Using this method, the mouse is trapped when it is still alive. You then release the mice far from your home, so that it doesn't come back again.

There are various poisons you can set out that, when eaten, will kill any mice that have eaten it. This method is preferable to many as it is less hands-on than traps.

The best solution is to prevent the mice from getting to your house in the first place. This is by hiring pest control company to spray your compound with repellent. These professionals will also seal any holes that rodents use to get into your house.
