Hello dear friend, recently I was visiting my mother-in-law and father-in-law. Their house is old, made of timber.
Stove heating was replaced by gravity, gas. In order to save on gas consumption, the father-in-law decided to insulate it. He did not do it from the outside, but insulated it from the inside with expanded polystyrene.
Outside, for aesthetics, sheathed with clapboard... Naturally, an unpleasant problem arose in such a house. Between the cladding and the frame in the foam, they started MOUSE.
For small rodents, this is paradise: Warmly. Dry. Lots of moves. Huge area for building nests. Besides safety. Cats can't get there.
For home owners: Discomfort, constant rustling behind the clapboard. This moment is especially annoying at night, and when they have a showdown, they squeak loudly throughout the house. As my father-in-law told me, that moment is annoying, here they are at the board. And you can't do anything ...
The first year they used an ultrasonic repeller. In his words, this device really helped, during the year there were no rodents. But apparently over time they get used to its effects. And they return back to their huts ...
Then the father-in-law made the following device:
I attached a tube to the dichlorvos, wrapped it all with electrical tape (note, the Feng Shui electrical tape is blue). And with his help, he poisoned unexpected guests.
To do this, I drilled holes in the lining around the entire perimeter of the house, where the "mikimaus" rustled, that is, where the rodents' passages were.
And at the first signs of the appearance of "druzhbanov" (rustling), he processes all the holes with gas. In his words, such processing is enough for 2-3 months... How do you like my Father-in-law's "life hack"? Rate it with a like!
I came to my mother-in-law in the village. And all their windows "cry". Found the cause of the high humidity. I tell
