How to Get Rid of Rats and Mice Guaranteed- 4 Easy Steps

Check out the Solutions Four Step Process to Eliminate Mice and Rats. bit.ly/2BgA7VT
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.

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.

[@billiesnyder6805]

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.

[@k9spot1]

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.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

[@ridgerunner106]

It's blood thinner. The rat doesn't eat enough to kill two.

[@KaptainCanuck]

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

[@chrisreed6589]

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.

[@lilbohbeat5785]

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).

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.

[@kwp9270]

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.

[@grendelthewise1971]

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.

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!

The mice in my house eat what is on the trap and never set off the trap

We have a Lattice Orchid hut attached to the rear of our home. I watched a Roof Rat climb right up the thing and get on the roof. He gnawed a hole to get in the attic. How do I keep him from climbing on the roof "Rat Guards"?

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?

[@solutionspestandlawn]

It will take more than 2 days, usually about 7 to 14 days for mortality.

[@QueenlySweetpea]

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.

[@Niceetee01]

I tried everything I read up on to get rid of the rats coming through my cupboard in my flat. The absolute only thing that worked was getting a cat and I have never heard or seen them since.

@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

[@nazooyaqoobi4960]

@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

[@nazooyaqoobi4960]

@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

[@laurabarber6697]

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!

[@solutionspestandlawn]

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

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?

There's a massive rat problem on the estate where I am About a week ago a heard what a thought was scuttling and shredding in the wall behind my toilet a set up traps under the sink and in the attic and got a plug in repellent A havent heard anything for 3 days but it's still making me paranoid Does this mean its gone a only ever heard it at a night time

[@solutionspestandlawn]

They may be gone, or they may have relocated to another spot. There is a good possibility that they may have taken to the bait and repellent, but it's hard to say without proper inspection.

[@lbc116]

What would you recommend in homes with pets? I understand that pets can't get to the bait inside the stations, but would it be dangerous if my cat or dog ate a mouse that died from eating the bait?

[@QueenlySweetpea]

Cats mostly do not eat mice which are already dead, they'd much rather chase & hunt the mouse after they kill them they just leave them or bring 'em to your doorstep as a gift for you.

[@solutionspestandlawn]

Depending on the bait, some are going to be second generation kills so if the cat or dog gets a hold of your pest they will also get sick and need to seek attention from a vet. All of the baits will be harmful if your pet if they eat it directly though.

[@kimfranch2163]

Right

[@campydeweysmommy5078]

Never use bait! Pets can get sick..& If mice or rat dies in wall it stinks, & brings flies & maggots! Use snap traps or electric traps!

[@Raxilla]

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.
