In this video, we will show you just how easy it can be to get rid of mice and rats using our DIY methods and product recommendations.
The first step of the rat and mice control process is IDENTIFICATION.
The Norway Rat usually weighs between 15-16 ounces. They are typically found outdoors. They burrow into the ground and underneath structures. They have a blunt nose, small ears, and small eyes.
The Roof Rat is usually found in attics, trees, or along fence lines. They have a very slender body, weighing in at about 11-14 ounces. They have a pointed nose, large eyes, and large ears.
The Deer Mouse is commonly found outdoors. Its body is about 2-3 inches long, with its tail being of equal length. Both the eyes and ears are large. Its underside is white, and its backside is grayish-brown.
The House Mouse body is usually between 2-3 inches in length. Their tail is about three to four inches long. They have a pointed nose, large eyes, and large ears.
The second step of the rat and mice control process is INSPECTION.
We want to confirm rodent activity in or around the home. Listen for noises in the attic. Look for droppings. Norway Rat dropping are about 3/4 of an inch long, and blunt on each end. Roof Rat droppings are about 1/2 inch in length, and pointed on each end. And the House Mouse and Deer Mouse droppings are 1/4 inch in length and pointed on both ends.
Look for smear marks along baseboards. Rodent bodies are very oily, and they will leave an oily film behind on the surface. Gnaw marks; they love to chew on the edge of wood. They leave hair behind when they go around corners. And they put off a very foul odor, smells like urine.
Look for holes around the perimeter of the house. Also check your flower beds; where vegetation has been compressed down to the soil is a sign where rodents are running back and forth.
The third step to the rat and mice control process is CONTROL.
We want to make the environment around the home or structure less conducive to rodent activity. Pick up pet food or water that might be left out overnight; clean dirty dishes that are left on the countertop or in the sink; take your trash out frequently and place it in a metal container. Look around the plumbing in the bathroom or kitchen, do you have large spaces or voids around that plumbing? These are places where rodents can enter.
Outside, take a look where plumbing actually penetrates the wall. Do you have large spaces there? If you have any small areas, use caulk.
For large voids, use Stuf-Fit. It’s a copper mesh product that you stuff into the hole. This is a great tool because rodents have a difficult time chewing through it.
Now that we’ve cleaned up our home and property, we are ready to bait the exterior. We are going to use a product called Eratication Bait Block with the Aegis RP Tamper-proof Station.
The Eratication bait block has ridges on it. This allows rodents to feed on it very easily. It also has a hole drilled through the center, which you can stick on top of the rods that are provided inside the bait station. The bait station is a tamper-proof station and does require a key that is provided to gain access to the inside.
You will want to place these stations every fifteen to fifty feet apart depending on whether you are dealing with mice or rats. Frequent the stations at least once a day. Check and see if there is bait. If not, replenish. Continue to do so until the activity stops.
Move on to the inside. We recommend either glue traps, snap traps, or live traps.
Snap traps. Made of a durable plastic, user friendly, easy to set. Bait the trap and place it up against the wall where the trap swings towards the wall. Place it in areas where you know you have activity. These traps can be used in the living area or up in the attic.
Glue traps. Peel the paper off the board to expose the glue, fold the board up to make a box, place the box up against the wall where you know that there is rodent activity. The boards can be used in the living area or up in the attic.
Live traps. If you are interested in a humane way of taking care of a mice problem, use either the repeater or the Ketch-All. Both of these units are designed to be placed up against the wall where you know you have rodent activity. They catch multiple mice and are catch-and-release.
The fourth and final step of the rat and mice control process is PREVENTION.
Clean up the property. Eliminate any unnecessary food or water. Empty trash cans. Those tree limbs that touch the roof of the house, trim them back. Clean up your flower beds. Bird feeders -- eventually the bird seed is going to fall to the ground, which is a food source for rats and mice. Doing all of these things will help prevent future infestations of rats and mice. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

I’ve all of a sudden developed a rat problem after finding a hole outside my home. They’ve even gone inside my couch and tore it up. It is so stressful because no matter how much I clean nothing ever feels clean enough anymore.
Bless your heart. They've been in my house too and they got into the cabinet and shredded up a new package of toilet paper. Ruined. They opened up the flour and chewed up a bunch of our pecans too! I feel like I live in a disgusting sewer. I hope we can both get rid of them for good.

I hate mice and rats
Because they can cause a lot of damages and dangers to people
Such as: ruin appliances' furniture' house fires,contamint food, deadly diseases""!!!!! That's why I'm against rats,,
I kills them quickly" without calling the stermanator
I owned a Pest Control company 20 yrs and highly approve this video. I'd add aluminum screen works well on weep holes. Copper is very good as well because steel wool will rust and leave rust marks.
I had a mess on my hands. My decorating actually made it easy for mice to live. I totally agree with all these tricks. I had a broke window in the basement and didn’t know it. I found a hole on a windowsill outside and a gap in the flooring. The tiniest of holes they can get thru. Holes from removed water pipes. Wooden siding with gaps. A flue pipe inside a kitchen cabinet. It was open season on this house. I actually put all my food in mouse proof containers. They had burrowed into my sofa! They lived in my bookshelves. The only food left was pet kibble and glue boards work very well. I’m finally mouse free. The yorkie is a self appointed mouser and has sacrificed herself to a glue board in her pursuit. I got it off her.
My Yorkie is a mouser. She sniffed out a rat in the basement and she was upstairs. I let her go to the basement and she found it behind the furnace. I put rat traps out but no luck yet.
Be careful not to poison your rats outside if you have owls or hawks in the area. Live traps can also allow you to decide if you want to kill it or not (as some rare species of voles, shrews, and native mice will also be lured into traps), but kill traps are still better than poison. Not to mention poison also will leave dead poisonous animals all over.
The green blocks contain a neurological pesticide that doesn't move up in the food chain.
@@GardenerEarthGuy I doubt that to be true.
It's blood thinner. The rat doesn't eat enough to kill two.
Use a blood thinner to kill them. No poison is needed and it will not be enough quantity to be harmful to larger pets. You can also get dehydrate poisons that will, basically, turn them to dust. I believe, in Canada, both of these methods may be only available through commercial rodent companies

Damn! That was a good presentation! Professional, poised, good speaker, informative. Mann, I almost forgot I had a mouse in my closet he spoke so well 😂
Thank you for your kind words.
LOL!
I agree. He made the problem seem manageable through discrete steps.

Oh wow!!! Awesome
My mice made themselves known, they literally run along the walls in plain sight. One even tried to jump on the couch with me, and he would've if I didn't smack him down.
Mice are very curious, and can be used to entice them into the traps.
😂😂 this so funny to me
Your comment made me choke on my food from laughing so hard..
LMFAOOO
I would've lost my mind lol
Thank you. This was very informative and simple.
I live in an 80 year old house and the only place where I've noticed mice activity is under the kitchen sink where there's a drilled hole for water lines. So far I've caught three mice with the old bait and snap method. It's actually pretty disgusting. One day I opened the cabinet door to check under the sink and "POP!!!" goes the mouse kicking and squealing with blood everywhere. So I had to scoop it out while it was paralyzed and dying slowly. I didn't know any better way to handle that besides burying the mouse and trap in the snow so it would at least freeze. I don't want to deal with that method again so I think I'll just try the repelling methods with cayenne pepper, pepper spray or something else that's nontoxic. I may have heard them in the floor vents before but it's rare when I do so it's fair to assume that I don't have an infestation. Strangely enough they once found their way onto my countertop when I left a small pouch of sunflower seeds next to the microwave. Sure enough the package was chewed up with the seeds and mouse droppings on the countertop. How they got that high up from the floor is unknown but that tells me that they're capable of reaching almost any surface in a house.
I've been using the Tomcat bait blocks to get rid of them, but suddenly now they've gotten wise to them and are now staying away from them.
Very informative video. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Excellent presentation and helpful tips. Thanks a milion.
Well done! I love that you covered all areas and went straight to the point!
Vc
All good stuff. Also installing a barn owl nest box can suppress rodent activity. The Idaho Extension has a blue print to make two nest boxes with one sheet of exterior plywood.
Thank you for the useful information will keep everything under control
I used a catch and release after getting tired of feeding the mice with spring traps. Honestly, they’re way more effective in my experience. I’ve never had a mis-sprung live trap.

Cus you a rat. Hahahaha
Great information, very useful and also doable.
Thank you Keith yes I have one in my house and in my couch . Hate them cause he got in from under my cabinet and I blocked that and other in on baseboard . Put bait out and traps but to smart . Guess I'll get a glue traps now and used trapped also . Thank you and hope I get it out of my house soon . 🙏❤️🏡
I absolutely love this & you for teaching us. I am sharing thus with everyone I know. I l7ve in a trailer on a cow dairy farm in between 2 rivers, the cows water station is at my backyard fence. Water flows down then pools up in my yard. I am now widowed living alone infested this winter with mice. I am losing my mind. I am legally blind so my vision is limited. My lack of knowledge has cost me plenty this last few months. I feel more confident now to get a handle on this mess. Thank you
I've seen people say to wear gloves, I've seen others say it doesn't matter if you wear gloves or not when handling traps. Which is it? Because I've done both and it doesn't matter, they still won't go near the traps I've set out.
I need help. My parents are fine with living with rats. I'm too young to move out :(
Edit: They got rid of them because they understood I didn't like them. Glad to have understanding parents!
Go to a teacher, principal, or other trusted adult who’s in a position to help kids/younger people like yourself who aren’t yet old enough to make these kinds of decisions. These types of adults are probably ‘Mandated Reporters’ meaning they have agreed to always take action when they know a minor needs help.
If your parents are otherwise good parents, they of course won’t separate you from them - they will most likely demand that the proper actions are taken to get rid of the rodents/ensure your safety.
You are legally ENTITLED to a safe home (assuming you’re not living in an unfortunate country...) and it sounds like a scary situation that you deserve to live without; your parents likely don’t realize the risk they’re putting you in by allowing that environment to be your home. If nothing else will work, seriously, go to your fav teacher (or video call, wtv the appropriate way to contact them if still social distancing).
I pray you ask someone for help.
Lilboh Beat My parents from Bangladesh so it’s normal for them. They good people, but different culture. The rats are all dead btw!
im gonna say this in a nice way. if there's still mice there ur parents are annoying.
Anon Rahman That’s even worse! A health hazard!
Awesome presentation. Thankyou
Keith, you have a comforting voice & good advice. I’ve been thru this before but in the Fall. In dead of Winter, I see 2 playing feet from where I sleep! Lavender candle burning on floor & glue traps loaded with peanut butter. I’m going to stock up tomorrow & Landlord is putting poison. I’m in NYC, no wildlife to protect & no pets. When I had cats never saw one but I can’t care for Vet bills. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the information, it was helpful!!
Out Pleasure.
I'm an instructional developer and make videos like this and I really appreciate how simple to follow and how informative this was! Thank you!
It's our pleasure! Thank you for your positive feedback.
Instructional developer? What an absolutely ridiculous title you give yourself!
It's simple to follow but is over simplication of the problem. The plastic traps are of poor quality and let critters escape.
Thank for posting this videos , I'm working for a pest control company but I really enjoy your videos , I'm new in this business , I'm in a learning process your videos help me a lot. Thank you.
TY so much knowledge. .I need to try this
I only hear them in the walls, sometimes it sounds like they're in the floors. My house is over 107 years old. And as a result we have a lot of voids, gaps and spaces that are perfect for nesting. They wake me up every night with the scratching and gnawing. I legitimately haven't slept in weeks. I put down peppermint oil and they just move to a different area to scratch and gnaw. I'm going insane. I'm ready to start shooting my walls, or myself...
I can totally understand, it maybe time to think about using some of the bait control recommendations and products we have on our website. www.solutionsstores.com/rats-mice
Mothballs will definitely get rid of them, but u don't want the fumes coming into your house. They are toxic to people, so I can use them in the attic in the winter, when the AC isn't needed, and I have cement like drywall in my old house which is harder for fumes to penetrate. I'll do about anything now, since, as u say, the gnawing is LOUD!
You better be getting some poison out or something. I had a friend that hated to kill the rats (she was an animal lover) and she just left them alone. Guess what came next?? BLACK SNAKES!!! The snakes came to eat the rats/mice. She was over-ran with both rats AND snakes.
The exterminators are coming Wednesday. Gonna cost $1000 with tax, and they're giving me a 5 year guarantee. They won't give me the lifetime guarantee, I think it's because the age of my house.
Oh and they think it's squirrels. Who knew?
Great video, but a few things need to be addressed. People need to understand a few things when utilizing rodenticides on their own. The label of the rodenticide that is being utilized needs to be read and understood to the word. The label of that rodenticide is the law. The EPA requires all manufacturers who produce rodenticides to have a label explaining the proper procedures of how to utilize that rodenticide and how to handle it also. The states usually adopt the label as their law too. There has been a lot of misapplication of rodenticides in the US. Not all rodenticides are labeled for certain rats and mice. For example, the rodenticide First Strike can be used for Norway rats and House mice, but it's not labeled for Deer mice. This needs to be understood because some states like California are trying to do away with rodenticides to a point. I can't stress enough that people need to educate themselves on this.
Great advice, thanks for sharing!
Keith, your's is a wonderful video. Full of information that was delivered professionally and honestly. Thank you. I have had a mouse problem for approximately three years. I have used every device included in your video - took care of some, not all. I feel as though I am living in an ongoing nightmare. I am on a very small pension that will not accommodate the price of a professional terminator. Seems that the only way to clear the problem is to burn the house down. Just trying to keep the topic light. Thanks, Keith for listening and for the video.
Thank you for your feedback.
Try cornmeal, baking soda, sugar, mix w enough water 2 form balls,equal parts of soda & cornmeal, nt 2 much sugar, good luck!
I’m on a pension too. I’m in a cellar, illegal apt. For a few years all was OK then only in Fall for a few weeks, glue traps got them. It’s now Jan 12 18 degrees this am & I see 2 playing now! I am burning a lavender candle burning & have told landlord to put poison. What you say is so true, I feel trapped!! I was thinking I wish I had a flame thrower!!!🔥Good luck to you! I’m sleeping with the lights on!
Your problem isn’t catching the rodents it’s keeping them out. This video and many if not most “professional” pest companies do not put an emphasis on or even attempt exclusion. It is 100% the only way to guarantee rodent elimination in a structure. Once you have a structure sealed. Trapping is permanent and will work quickly for mice, if your dealing with rats it can take longer since they will build food storage and eat each other when dead perpetuating thier life cycle. If rats ignore your traps, you have to train them with baited but not set traps until they feel comfortable eating from the trap, then set them. They will also mark traps with urine to warn each other it’s dangerous. You must wash or use new traps after catching rats to take away the scent. Exclusion can be a daunting task with several unseen entry points only a tiny rodent can find. Or maybe a Mobil home with skirting that rodents can dig under at any point along the perimeter which will require expensive exclusion by trenching the perimeter and attaching screen from the siding down past the soil surface ideally 12 inches then backfilling with rock. It’s important to stress exclusion because if you don’t do it properly you will just be catching rodents in vein forever. Good luck and I hope this helps.
I feel your pain.
What a greatly informative video! Thank you
Thank you for your kind words.
1. Identify. 2. Inspect. 3. Control. (Pick up food & water, do dishes, take out trash, caulk or "stuff it" for holes into the house. Then bait and trap daily.) 4. Prevention.
Antifreeze
Inside my home I use a 1:1 of baking soda and white sugar. Find where they are coming in and apply. Pending your humidity, you will have to reapply each year due to moisture absorption. I heard this won't work on rats but I haven't had any to know, so far though for mice it works.
As a pest technician myself, I approve this video! Very informative and accurate!

Just read about mixing baking soda and all purpose flour. It’s called DIY mouse trap
@@lindalinda9796 wow will try this
@@lindalinda9796 it doesn't work. Yes, mice cannot burp but they poop out a lot. I watched an utuber to use this method but I have more mice than ever. Right now I am hiring a professional to set the traps but no dead mouse yet. In addition, the job is to have all the cracks and holes sealed and fixed. 😮

Rats are smart ans sneaky.
I recently seen the biggest mouse ever, I looked around found a big stick and started to beat on it, some kids seen me and started crying, their parents got involved and now I am banned from Disneyland...
Excellent vid, thanks
I remember when I was young and my basement had mice and my dad used a glue trap and the mouse was still alive, and he told me to put it in a plastic bag and beat it to death 😂
Dr360Wave Oh man......that’s brutal. How’s therapy going?
I think we lived the same childhood, hitting it against the wall was the best bet
Just put it in a bucket of water drown it
must be hella satisfying to see it scream and suffer
Yikes, I don't want these critters in my house but glue traps are so awful and so is beating it against the wall. Poison is more humane

This is an excellent video. Thank you for posting.
All the the bait stations have a huge disadvantage. Rodent can die at non-accessible area (under floor, under outside decking and you will be forced to have a job to dismantle it... The most preferable is an instant way. However, how I can find something effective for rats but harmless for wombats, please? Thank you
Thank you very much for the advice!
I'm glad we could help
I've been laying snap traps all over my apartment. They absolutely refuse to go near them. They drive me crazy all with their squeaking. I've switched the bait so many times. It's like they have gotten used to me and my dog.
Be sure to use gloves when placing traps and baits. Oils from our skin leave behind a scent, which can repel the mice. Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@solutionspestandlawn Thank you! I live in a apartment building. 6 floors, 96 units. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The property manager said I have to catch one before they will send a exterminator. Even though I told her they squeak all night in different frequencies. It drives me and my dog crazy. You can hear them walking in the walls. Yes they are entertaining my apartment because I found droppings on top of my refrigerator, in the corner of my kitchen, they are chewing up the carpet for nesting material and even my dog's rope toy. That I don't understand. (Them taking strings from his rope toy) I found they strings from his toy in the kitchen. His rope toy was in the middle of the living room. I will get new traps this week and set them up this weekend with gloves. They act like they are not bothered by me or my dog. They just won't show themselves or go to the traps. I will update you this weekend. Thanks!
Patti did it work? Please update.
The mice in my house eat what is on the trap and never set off the trap
@@Marco-sm9bu Only way to work it out in a apartment is to move out! If you are clean and your neighbors a pig, you will still have mice.
3:51 the mice in my house managed to push that stuff out of the hole 😤 the little assholes are too smart, they avoid traps and poison too
will psyops works for mice? I'm thinking instead of discrading the remain , what if I choped out their head and stuff it on the enterance of the hole?
I have caught several mice in the house and found the hole near piping outside my house.
So the trap you show @4:15 is that a poison bait where they eat and leave and die somewhere else, or do they get trapped inside and it needs to be emptied?
Thanks.
Good video. I'm trying to find a mice in my room but I don't know where it nest. I wish I knew the perfect food for luring them to traps.

Thank you ❤ our neighbours renovated their home and their rodents migrated to our house during the process. Omg never had an issue before. Sooo disgusting and scary. So thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Ammonia & Peppermint oil seems to work for rat deterrent. However i cant. Seem tho be consistent in putting 1 or the other out each nite..
Yes that is more accurate..peppermint oil
Thank you Keith for the very detailed information. I learned a lot from watching you.

I'm in a 3rd floor condo of a multi-building complex, so I assume I'm needing to concentrate on only my unit, right?
Solutions, give it a try Big Guy. Bon Appetite!
i saw a rat go past me in the cupboard so i know where abouts it lives now but its 1:40 am and i cant figure out on what i should do so im leaving it i dont think i have any stoppers for it so for now im waiting till the morning

It's our pleasure! We appreciate the positive feedback.
I thankyou Jeff for more information on how to get rid of mice.
this is a great video, thank you!
I got one behind the couch last night that had his arm trapped in a spring trap and tail in a glue trap. I was taken aback by how big he was. He was whimpering like a dog. In my moment of hesitation he dragged himself under the couch and peeled off both traps. I should've stepped on him. I certainly didn't want to grab him or make a bloody mess however.
no one likes "wild kingdom" in their own house. I feel ya.
One time I caught a rat just curl up laying on the floor I think it was sleep it was cute and all but it was in my house and I had to suffocated to death with the mop
If you see one in the house, there might be more waiting to break in. Be sure to secure your home by trying out methods we've recommended!
That’s fucked up
@@BlueAndPINK666 You probably don't have rats in your house.
@@BlueAndPINK666 I agree totally. They are clever creatures and should be dealt with humanely. I used to catch little field mice that my cat brought to me as presents with gloves and put them back outside. I see a larger mousey creature now and will get a humane trap and find him/her a new home. Also a spray of peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil mixed with water will cause them to move out, but won't harm them. People keep rats and mice as pets. They are amazingly social with humans and loving. Respect that. They are all God's creatures.
That_Broncos FAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank You!
I've have had Rats that are in my Attic I here in one area allot around 7-8 am, like there bedding down to rest or something. I wire meshed all roof vents, Stacks, Chimney but still hear them. I only seen #1 small Rat climbing up my single story Brick house wall right in the area where I hear them some mornings. I have had Trail Cameras in the area where this is all happening and see them running across my deck right by where I seen the one and hear them.
I think they are getting in from between the plywood roof and fascia as there are some gaps from poor Building Cutting.
I put mesh Leaf guards on top of the Gutters covering 100% of them but I still hear them. I looked all over the outside roof and siding Trim and the only access any pest can get through are through the ends of my Gutters.
Can Rats climb up and down the inside of Aluminum Gutters in a single story house ? I have no clue what else to do but to cover the ends of the Gutters, any suggestions ??
I'm glad I watched this video cuz of mouse broke into my house
well done! Very thorough. I appreciate when you show what the poop looks like because then I can tell whether I have a mouse or a rat. it would have helped if you made a suggestion on what to put on the snap traps. I have baited my snap traps with peanut butter, cheese, cookies, tootsie rolls, and have yet to catch my critter! thank you!
Thank you for the feedback, Rats love chocolate and bacon, might try those baits. Where are you placing the traps in areas you know that rats are moving around in? www.solutionsstores.com/rats-mice

thank you, very explicative video
Thank you for this sir.
I don’t think they are cute or cuddly. I have rats everywhere. They made holes in the kitchen, lounge and have tried eating the fridge. As well as eating my Hamster. I can hear them running through the walls under the floors boards. I have to sleep with my bedroom light on 😂 they genuinely scare me 😫
They are pretty scary. Let us know if you need recommendations on products that may work best for you. Reach out to us on our website if you have any additional questions.
Hate the bastards can hear it in my kitchen pantry scared to death of them
my first catch and release worked well for a year, then it stopped working--the second never really worked
Catch and release this is not fishing kill those 🐀 bastards
Use peppermint and tea tree oil to repel them. I use that where they enter and along the walls and baseboards
I used that on cotton balls hes still around its horrible
I'm using many traps in sync and non of them are working on this most recent mouse/rat. I've just started using the eRATication bait blocks and I'm worried of them dying inside the ceiling/walls
Im worried about this too… it worked before and my kitchen was stinking due to a dead rat luckily it was in a spot I could reach.. but imagined if it woulda been inside a wall… geezzz
I have deer mice. I live close to the tracks and mechanic shops. I don't know how it got in because we sealed up all the holes from the outside a while ago! it seems like every two or three years one takes vacation in our home. I've tried glue traps for mice, they got off, clamp traps, still set. I've even tried the Tom Cat traps that look like little boats that's supposed to be very good and quick to catch. They ate the food out of it! I thought we only had one but I think it had babies and now there's more. I've tried the Coco with the plaster mixture and I've tried the Coca-Cola which I understand they can't burp so they die. I've been looking on TH-cam trying to find everything I can to get rid of these mice and they're very smart! I've put a chocolate and peanut butter mixture on the traps and it's still there! I don't want to have to move but if I can't catch them and they keep multiplying, I'm going to have to..WHAT'S NEXT?!!...
I have two mouse rats. I have been poisoning them for days with mouse bait but they are not dead yet. I can't close the voids because they are behind the kitchen cabinets. What should I do? How long does it take for the poison to work?
It will take more than 2 days, usually about 7 to 14 days for mortality.
We just had the mouse control guy here setting up bait boxes and he said after eating the bait poison the mouse dies in about 10 to 15 mins.
I have an outdoor rat infestation I am not going to catch and release rats back into the wild but drown them instead by doing this will rats become weary of the traps ?
Thanks for the info.
I have quite a few on my property, what’s the most painful way I could kill them with the most suffering as possible?
We are not in the business of torturing, but we can help eliminate them with our bait and traps.
Hahaha
Fire
Solutions Pest & Lawn you’re not in the business of torturing but you sell glue and snap traps ?? how is leaving an animal stuck in glue to starve to death not torture? Some of them will literally chew their legs off , imagine if that happened to you would you not consider it torture? rats feel pain just like you
Lol
I saw a small cat like figure just run along the shadows (Im Scared)
Can steel wool be place where they are seen mostly and get rid of them?
And the catch and release I never try that but it sounds pretty good get them without the words far away from everyone and release them
Overall, very good advice. But I think the glue traps are useless. That is just my experience with rats.
I feel like even if you keep a house clean, that they still find a way to sneak their little paws into your property.
exactly, and they make holes in the walls as if they’re going to pay for it
@Ayousha Ahmed sorry I didn't mean nothing I just cracked up about how you said thats all sorry I just delete the comment😔
@Ayousha Ahmed yes I'm here cause i found a disgusting rat running around in our living room :( even though our house is organized and clean they still find ways to sneak in and i think it's mainly cause it's an old house but idk
@Ayousha Ahmed no , I'm actually from the US but our house is really old I'm guessing 80 or 90 years old :( we've lived in apartments for our whole lives and hadn't one in all of those years it's just that once we moved in a house the little bastards started appearing we even found a snake 🤢 also our house is like super super close to the woods so maybe that's the problem too
@Ayousha Ahmed our house has so many holes and gaps and it looks like from the outside , a 17th century home and from the inside a home from the 1920s I couldn't find exactly how old but they definitely are really old .. living in an old house is the worst thing ever bugs and rats think they can just live there as if they are part of the family and pay rent
You are so awesome!!! Thank you so much for your help. Wish me luck :)

How about using Ultrasonic Pest Repeller? Do they work? Are they worth the money?
Imagine me waking up in the middle of the night to watch this
Rats are frustrating me. They need to get away!😩😩
Thank You for that video you did a Wonderful job .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your information. 😍
Funny thing is, 5mins into watching this video, the sound of little mice feet behind me suddenly silenced up.
They know you're planning something.
@@solutionspestandlawn HAHA I think so.
Once you kill your first mouse, leave it lay in the trap for a day or two as a warning to the others that you mean business.
Love that🤣🤣
😂😂😂👌🏼
😂
Other mouses can take revenge 😂🤣
Anthony Caccavale - Nope, leave it and other wild mice will feed on carcass.
Mice are omnivores.
I used cat biscuits work everything. Glue traps are being band in UK . They will only be allowed to be used in exceptional cases like in central London as the mice and rats have now wised up to traps and bait boxes . One was even seen on live camera walking around the edge of a glue trap. They have to have live cams so they know when to go and pick up glue traps and use a little trunksuon to kill them in a better way . Ive steel wool and expansion foamed all my areas of them getting into my flat
Work everytime not everything
How do I prevent rats from dying in attic?
Is is true they have to leave attic every day to find water? There is none in attic.
How will you know when you have them all and want to close up an entry/exit area?
