Easy Rodent Control

If you're looking for rodent control solutions, you may be wondering what kind of rodents you have. The most common rodent pests are the Norway rat and the house mouse. The ubiquitous Norway rat is also known as the Brown rat, roof rat, sewer rat, house rat or wharf rat. It grows up to seventeen inches long, has shaggy fur, small ears and a scaly tail. It is known all over North America as a smart, destructive and elusive pest.

The house mouse, (Mus musculus) is five to seven inches long, with black eyes and big ears. Like the Norway rat, the house mouse leaves tracks, droppings and gnawed food packaging, chewed cables and damaged walls in its wake. Rats and mice carry disease in the fleas and ticks that infest them, and contaminate foods with urine and feces.

Even when you do everything you can to prevent pests, you may still end up with rodent control issues. The traditional usage of mechanical traps and poisons require you to bait and set traps and remove corpses. Because rat poisons are slow-acting, decaying animals may sometimes have to be removed from inside walls or under houses.

Rather than turning to poison or traps, you may consider using the latest in ultrasonic technology for rodent control. Sonic rodent control devices also control insect pests such as spiders, fleas and roaches, so you only need one product. It works on a simple, intelligent principle: pests find the high-frequency tone emitted by the device to be intolerable. They leave the area for good. To keep pests from retreating to walls, ultrasonic devices with electromagnetic features send the signal through the wiring in the house, without affecting home electronics.
