Deratization: what is it, in what ways and means the destruction of rodents is carried out, rules for processing an apartment + reviews

Mice and rats have been the constant neighbors of people for many centuries. Rodents are quite satisfied with this, which cannot be said about humans.

Mouse-free treatment is a top priority when completing a new home, barn, cellar, barn, and other residential and business premises. This is especially true if the buildings are located in rural areas in the immediate vicinity of fields - the natural habitat of rodents.

Obligatory regular disinfection from rats and mice is necessary at food processing enterprises, in catering points, hospitals, and in child care facilities. It is also desirable in all public facilities, where the massive resettlement of rodents can lead to a large-scale epidemic.

Preventive disinfection (disinfection) at least sometimes needs to be carried out in all places where a person is present. This is an effective way to kill various viruses and toxins.

It is almost impossible to get rid of mice and rats on your own. They are smart enough and also reproduce very quickly. Under favorable conditions, their population can easily grow to a critical size.

Using traps

Cleaning the home from rats and mice can be done both independently and with the help of special means. The oldest and most widespread rodent extermination device is an ordinary wooden trap. Its principle has not changed for centuries. On the base, made of a small board, a metal mechanism is charged, at the end of which a bait is attached. The rodent tries to remove the treat, discharges the spring, and the trap slams shut. These devices are sold at almost any hardware store. There are both small traps for mice and more powerful, large ones. If the problem has become critical, and rats appear in the house, larger and more efficient devices will be needed. Extermination of rats is best done using small traps or special traps with a container. These devices will be able to keep a strong animal for a long time and will not let him escape along with the trap.

Mice can spread dangerous diseases and hide in the most secluded corners of the home

Signs of the appearance of rats or mice in a house in Moscow

The sooner a person notices a problem, the easier it is to solve it. The high fertility of small rodents allows them to quickly spread from one apartment to another, which increases the chances of their reappearance after processing the original room. The main "symptoms" for contacting the sanitary service are:

Detection of burrows. Small voles often gnaw through dwellings in soft plastic, wood, hide in clothes or bags with cereals. Rat holes are larger and look like mole holes. The presence of an incomprehensible hole with "bitten" edges is a clear sign that an animal is adjacent to you.
Squeak and rattle. The best time to detect rodents by sound is at night. At this time, they are activated and are sent in search of food. Grinding occurs when teeth grind against furniture or laminate flooring. Also, a resident of an apartment can hear the rustling or clatter of claws on the floor.Often animals settle under curly skirting boards and you can hear their movement after tapping on one part of the skirting board.
Characteristic smell. Traces of animal activity are found in corners where light does not enter, confined spaces, cracks between furniture, behind cabinets and in other hard-to-reach places. If the rodents started up a long time ago and there are a lot of them, an unpleasant smell appears in the apartment.

The presence of tailed neighbors is also indicated by gnawed food bags, scratches on the legs of furniture from claws or teeth, and small hairs on the carpet.

Note from an expert:
It is necessary to take measures to destroy the mice immediately after their detection. The longer the landlord stalls for time referring to employment and lack of money, the more difficult the deratization procedure will be. In addition, there is a risk of contracting an infection or rabies, which are transmitted through the saliva of animals when bitten.

Folk remedies

Deratization of rats in the house with the help of improvised means will not always be able to completely rid the room of annoying rodents, but at least it will greatly reduce their number. For the persecution to be successful, you need to carry out preparatory work. To begin with, it is worth finding out if there are still parasites in the apartment, namely cockroaches and other small insects. If there are, they must be destroyed. The fact is that they are a food source for rats. Therefore, the extermination of insects should be of paramount importance.

Hearing and smell are well developed in mice and rats. Therefore, it is necessary to influence precisely through these channels of receiving information. There are many sound wave scarers on the market. They act on rodents with ultrasound and make them panic and leave the house. The waves themselves are not audible to the human ear and do not cause physical or other harm to it. The effectiveness of this method is not always high. To achieve the best result, the animal must fall under the action of direct waves, and this is not always a feasible task, especially if it moves mainly under the floor. Such a remedy can be a good addition to the main remedy for rodent control.

The second type of exposure is a blow by smell. Namely, the smell of peppermint leaves. For a person, such a fragrance in the house will only be beneficial. It calms the nerves, energizes the immune system, and simply lifts the mood. But rats and mice do not tolerate such a scent. Treatment of premises from rats by this method has been known for a long time and is popular with housewives in private houses and apartments. To prepare homemade poison, you need to mix 9 parts of water and 1 part of peppermint oil. Pour the resulting solution into a spray bottle and treat the infected areas of the home. You can simply dip a cotton swab in the oil and spread these traps all over the corner of your home. Leave the treated area for some time without cleaning.

In villages and private houses, bait is often used based on the standard food base of the animal. To do this, you need to take flour or any cereals and sprinkle with quicklime. A drinker with water is installed next to such food. After a mouse or rat has eaten and drunk, the lime will react with water and cement in the stomach. After a short agony, the pest will die.

Chopped onions or mint leaves are used as a preventive measure or method for killing rodents. On rodents, the smell will act as a poisonous gas, and they will begin to look for a way out of the dwelling. For prevention, you can simply grow mint at home. The aroma will spread throughout the entire area and will not allow intruders to enter. To rid the house of rodents, you can use the simplest method - to get a cat. This is both a method of destruction and a preventive measure. It is better to take an animal that already knows how and loves to hunt rodents, since there are cats that do not catch mice or are even afraid of them.

Why do you need to contact SES?

An independent fight against rodents is initially doomed to failure. In 100% of cases, tailed and toothy guests who once appeared on the site, in a house or apartment will definitely return there again. And even after successful professional deratization, owners have to observe safety measures to ensure effective prevention of re-infestation. Household poisons and baits have a lot of negative properties. And the most important of them is the lack of a guarantee of safety for a person. Using classic traps: mouse traps, rat traps, is also quite uncomfortable. A confrontation with intruders can drag on for years without much results. Meanwhile, life next to rodents is not at all useful for humans.

Rodent chemicals

To get rid of pesky rodents, you can purchase a special product from your hardware store. They may have different names, but the principle of operation is approximately the same for all. Most often, the following types of poisons are sold:

industrial;
funds from companies conducting vermin control;
chemical preparations based on folk remedies.

The impact is carried out on the internal organs of the rodent by the ingress of poison into the digestive system. The content, as well as the price of such products, may differ.

Aerosol products. They usually contain rodenticide (zinc phosphide). This agent is sprayed on the intended locations of movement of rats or mice. This can be skirting boards, corners, empty spaces behind furniture and cabinets. The action occurs when the rodent begins to wash. The substance passes from the skin of the animal to the paws and then into the digestive system. After that, the pest dies.
Poisons with mummifying action. There is a very popular remedy - Zoocoumarin. It looks like a food base for an animal and, when ingested, causes severe hemorrhage. Another remedy with a similar effect is Warfarin. It is sold in granules and also has a negative effect on the circulatory system of the rodent.
Biological poison. Progress does not stand still, and substances change and develop with it. Relatively recently, a new type of poison has appeared on the market, acting not only on an individual, but also on the entire colony. Outwardly, it looks like cereal grains and is easily absorbed by a rodent. The impact is as follows: the animal falls ill with mouse typhus and dies after a short time. During the incubation period and the disease itself, the mouse or rat manages to infect other members of the colony. The destruction of rodents occurs as a result of an epidemic that affects both old and young individuals. There are few analogues of such a drug, and they can all be called differently, but the most famous of those presented is now called Bactorodencid.

Cleaning the home from rats and mice can be done both independently and with the help of special means.

Professional cleaning

If the situation does not improve, and folk methods do not give results, then you need to immediately contact a specialist. The deratization service will carry out a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of the premises.Before the arrival of the SES, a room should be prepared so that disinfection from rats and other rodents is more effective. To do this, you need to clean the apartment well and move furniture and other heavy things away from the walls if possible. It is better to put food and cutlery in bags and put away for a while. Such preparation will reduce the processing time and increase the quality of the work performed several times.

What is the nature of the smell?

Where does that unpleasant "amber" come from, by which we regretfully determine that mice have settled in the house? This is the smell of secretions with which the male marks his (or rather, your) territory in order to attract the female. Similar "flavors" will come from the cage with decorative mice, rats and other rodents. Only in the latter case, it is enough for you to change the sawdust, filler, in order to neutralize this unpleasant odor.

Mouse smell is very unpleasant for humans.

Animal excrement has no less specific "aroma". This is a fierce mixture of methane, hydrocarbon and sulfur dioxide for our sense of smell, which is why we are looking for how to get rid of mice smell. By the way, it is this “bouquet” that helps the predator to find the mouse hiding in the mink. Another feature of such waste products is that their "aroma" is literally absorbed into the contaminated surface. The matter is aggravated if the latter is made of wood.

One of the sources of the stench

But we will eliminate the odorous marks of rodent-parasites in a qualitatively different way - it is necessary to process the entire room where the resourceful mouse could have been.

What is deratization for?

Rats in an apartment are a source of constant danger. They practically do not lend themselves to traditional methods of catching, they easily adapt to changes in the external environment, they are quite strong and agile. Dominant representatives in their squad, Pasyuk do not tolerate competition. If the mice lived in the apartment for a long time, when larger relatives appear, they will leave, because they cannot withstand the rivalry with a stronger and more agile brother.

With deratization, the differences between these animals are especially obvious.Mice are quite willing to fall into traps, they can be caught even with glue baits. The rat is much more highly intelligent. It is enough for one individual to get caught in a trap, and its relatives will no longer make such a mistake. Moreover, even in a critical situation, a strong animal weighing up to 1 kg can free itself from the trap.
