How to Get Rid of Rodents? When humans moved to stay in houses, we thought we alienated ourselves from all kind of interaction with the elements of nature. As we changed and evolved, so did our neighbours, animals and the very environment around us adapted as well. Today, knowingly or unknowingly we share our houses with a lot of smaller animals and insects. Some of these are oblivious to our very existence, and cause no trouble while others can wreak havoc for us. Rodents fall into the second kind of animals that spell trouble for us.
What are rodents? Rodents are animals that are small with robust bodies, long tails, short limbs and sharp pair of teeth that help them gnaw at anything and everything they like or fancy. Commonly humans only are aware of the existence of the rat or mice, but they include squirrels, mouse and beaver as well under rodents. Rodents live in close proximity to humans and share the house space.
Why are Rodents Harmful? While these animals go about their business without any harm, sometime they can cause problems for human life. They eat into the food storage and leave their faecal matter in the food which makes it harmful and unfit for human consumption. They can eat into the wooden panels and the foundations of the house, thereby making them weak and unable to bear the weight of the house. They multiply at a very fast rate which means a lot more of them would be all over the place before you realise their very existence. How can you get rid of the rodents?
