Rodent Removal and Prevention Plan- Keep Them From Your Home

Rodents will actually sample a small bit of food before consuming it entirely. This is to ensure that it does not make them sick. They tend to have a cautious nature, which can make rodent removal tricky. Because of this, rodenticide (better known as rat poison), is often the preferred chemical of choice for rodent elimination. Tasteless, odorless, yet lethal, rodents will not realize that the poison is harmful until it is too late. This is because the effects of rodenticide take at least a week to fully set in.

When rodenticide may not be the most optimal choice, familiar old fashioned methods may be used.  Such as setting mouse and rat traps to control the problem.
