Don’t Let Rodents Invade Your Home

Having your home place infested by pests is never a thing to please home owners and their families. Pests like insects (cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs, etc.) and rodents are carriers of disease and dirt and every family will want to get rid of them as soon as possible. The thing with these pests is that they breed very fast and easily and once you think you got of them, there are others coming in and so on. At this point you will have to act very rapidly and effectively.

Out of all these pests, maybe spiders can be a little more tolerated although there are some species that can bite and you wouldn’t want this to happen to your kid(s), would you? Nevertheless, it is important that you get rid of these pests and have more peace of mind not letting these creatures to destroy the equilibrium of your home place.

I have had once a rodent in my house, fortunately it was a single one, but of course I didn’t know by the noise it used to make if there were more or only one. Every night I went to bed I kept hearing noises coming from the kitchen especially those nights when I fell asleep on the couch in the living room where the space of kitchen is included as well.

As soon as I fell asleep in deep darkness, I started to hear the noises of its claws hurrying from one place to another. It was like a scrape noise and at first I thought it was only my imagination playing tricks at me because the moment I switched the lamp on, the noise stopped.

So, I have listened to that noise in the dark the other night and I decided that there was something moving in there. At that time I used to keep the organic waste (left over from dinner) under the sink only for the night and threw it out the next morning.

The noise appeared to come from under the sink and one morning after waking up and planning to throw the plastic bag out in the container I came across that creature: it was a tiny rodent which juts gave a quick glance at me and then disappeared into a hole it had made in the wall under the sink.

You can imagine how terrified I was at that moment not being able to move; it was for a couple of seconds that neither I nor the mouse was able to move. But once it got back into its hole I knew what I needed to do: to cover the hole with a thick concrete or polyurethane foam or even both and also purchase a mouse trap with poisoned food in it in case the mouse was already out by the time I would have covered the hole in the wall.

Needless to say that by the next day the mouse was captured in the trap (I kind of felt pity for that creature) and I covered the hole just in case there were many of them wanting to come in.
