Erie County, Buffalo Rat Control Situation:
I absolutely love your site. I recently cleaned my garage and found piles and piles of mouse poop and did exactly what you said not to do....poison. I also have a little guest house on the farm that has evidence of gnawing right into the foundation on a porch and of poop in the closets. I can also hear noises in the attic when over there at night. I feel like they are everywhere! I find the occasional poop in the house inside a drawer and then when I put out poison we find a dead one and until reading your sire we thought it was over for the moment. Now I am totally freaked out! My question is what size Victor traps for house mice and do you have a suggestion for ordering in bulk since I am working on multiple locations now. I do need to find someone handy to seal up entry points first. Where are you located and do you know anyone good in Maryland? If not I am prepared to roll up my sleeves and learn..... Thanks for your help.
I have house mice in my attic, garage and outdoors by potted plants. I have trapped and killed all in the garage but I still have them in the attic. I looked at your directory and there seems to be no one in las Vegas who specializes in this that you recommend. I have a pest control service but as you stated, they do not do a proper job. Can you recommend anyone to check to house an seal up entry points and eliminate the mice for good. Your response will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Marko

How Can I Get Rid Of Rats Outside My House?
Having rats outside your house disturbing your peace is indeed a big deal. Apart from being a nuisance outside your house by creating burrows in your yard or lawn, it's just a matter of time before they find their way into your home. This simply means getting rid of the rats outside your house is as important as getting rid of those in your house.
Have you been looking for the best way to do this in order to keep your environment free from rats? Right here, we will be taking you through some of the most effective and humane ways to get rid of the rats outside your house.
1. Traps
The use of traps in getting rid of rats is a method many people are quite familiar with. To use this method, all you have to do is to buy a trap from a store, bait it, and set them around the places where the rats frequent the most. Before setting this trap, make sure your pets are locked up in a compartment or restricted from moving around your yard to avoid injuring your pets instead of the rats.
2. Smoke Bombs
If the rats have successfully created numerous burrows around your house, using smoke bombs is the best way to get rid of them. To use this particular removal method, all you have to do is release the smoke bombs into all of their burrows. It is very effective, but you need to avoid using it on burrows that are close to trees and other flammable structures in order to avoid fire hazards.
3. Use Dry Ice
This particular removal method is the best option if you are in an urban area. Dry ice is a solid that releases carbon dioxide when dropped into the burrows of rats. When the dry ice is released, the carbon dioxide anesthetizes the rats and kills them. This particular method is very quick and humane.
