  3. Pests eat food, after which the food becomes unusable.
  4. There is a risk of contracting E. coli or other infectious diseases.

  2. A mixture of sugar and lime (250 g each) will have a detrimental effect on the animal's body.
  3. Flour and cement in equal proportions will turn the pests into petrified mummies. Just do not forget to put dishes with water next to the "treat".

Making traps with your own hands

Traps can be made from available tools. Having tuned in for a positive outcome, exterminate the rodents using an ordinary homemade mousetrap. There are several ways to make it:

  1. An ordinary half-liter can will help you in this matter. Glue a treat for mice on the wall or bottom: a piece of sausage or bacon, bread crumbs or cheese. Turn the container over and place the coins on the edge to hold the device until the rodent arrives. As soon as the mouse tries to get a tidbit, the design will tightly cover it in the jar.
  2. Make a trap with a bucket, a small piece of wood (no more than one centimeter wide), and a 0.5 liter plastic bottle. Make holes in the bottom of the vessel so that the edges of the rail are on both sides, carefully place it on the bucket, and place a piece of any food for the mouse in the middle of the hanging structure.
  3. Place a small stick with a tasty bait on the stool. Place the container next to the stool. The bait must be above the trap. The rodent will reach for the treat and fall into the container.
  4. Buy pest glue from a hardware store. Take a piece of paper, spread with a product, put food. Place in an empty cardboard box, cover with a lid, and make an entrance hole on the side. The hooligan who has come running cannot get out.
  5. To make a trap, you need a plastic container, you can take a bottle of sunflower oil. Cut a hole in the tapered place, put the bait inside. Turn the device horizontally and place it carefully on the surface. The back of the bottle hangs, and a rope tied to the neck will prevent the structure from falling to the floor when the intruder runs over to the hanging end.

Preventive action against the appearance of mice

Constantly checking food can help you get rid of unwanted neighbors. Use special thick utensils to store food. Spread onion peels, garlic cloves, or bay leaves near food. Mice cannot tolerate aroma from these foods. Dispose of trash in time. The home must be clean and tidy. Make a birdhouse and set up on site. Birds of prey will immediately see and catch a quick pest. Rodents do not tolerate the aroma of tansy, chamomile, wormwood, mint and other fragrant herbs.

Mice are resilient animals that can survive under any conditions. But you can easily get rid of them if you choose the right way to control rodents.
