Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Rodent Control for Homes and Small Businesses

Rats. If you didn't purchase them from your pet
store, chances are that you don't want them in
your home or small business. Pest control can
cost hundreds of pounds per treatment, for what
actually seems like very little work.

Before you commit to treating rodents in the
first place, you will want to check that they are
in fact in your property. The tell tale signs of
rodents are small gnaw marks in wooden skirting
boards and furniture, as well as small droppings
in cupboards and behind wooden furniture. It's
also possible that you may have heard rodents in
your property during the night in attics and in
crawl spaces or behind walls.

If you can identify that you need rodent control,
it's worth shopping around to see what is
available on the market other than commercial
solutions. There are many DIY Pest Control
Supplies sold to the general public for home and
commercial use for a fraction of the price.

DIY control kits are safe for use even if you
have no training, as manuals are provided.
Different kits clearly provide different setups
for different uses, but advice is clearly given
wherever the poisons are sold. If you are unsure
on how to treat your problem, call the sales line
of the shop that you are researching.

The actual method of controlling rodents is to
use pet and animal safe boxes to house the
poison. The entrance holes are limited to a small
size to ensure that family pets cannot access the
poison inside, as typically rodents can access
spaces where the entrance is less than one inch
in diameter.

Pest control boxes should be placed around areas
where rodents appear to be active. The amount of
boxes you will need depends on the degree of the
problem, so by spacing them at around 10 metre
intervals, a small property should be fully
covered with a pack of two control boxes.

The treatment of rodents isn't purely chemical
however; rodents clearly are interested in your
property for a reason. It's probable that you or
perhaps your neighbour is being a little too
liberal with leaving food scraps near your house
bins. Once attracted to your area, they will then
also need a way into the building - mice can
squeeze through any hole that is around ¼
inch in diameter, so it's important to assess
your walls for potential gaps around retro fitted
plumbing or building work. Raised steps are less
of a challenge than you may imagine, so
protecting your open commercial doorways with
netting may also be a smart idea.

Some smaller sets also come with free bait
samples, so I would recommend trying the
do-it-yourself method before shelling out
hundreds of pounds of company profits or wages!
