In spring, the temperature warms up and everything recovers. The activity and reproduction of rodents have also entered a peak, and this is also an excellent time to exterminate rats! As the saying goes, "one male plus one female, two hundred and five in a year", which describes the amazing reproductive ability of mice. Killing a rat in spring is equivalent to killing a litter of rats in summer, and carrying out rodent extermination before the peak of reproduction can play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.
1. Rodent hazards
Rodents can not only transmit 57 kinds of diseases such as plague, leptospirosis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, rodent typhus, schistosomiasis, etc., but also spoil food, destroy power and water conservancy facilities, and cause harm to agriculture, industry and people's lives.
◆ Rats are used as vectors to transmit pathogens to humans by biting humans when they suck blood;
◆ Rats with pathogenic microorganisms in their bodies contaminate food or water sources through rat activities or feces, resulting in post-ingestion illness in humans;
◆ Rats bite directly or pathogens invade through trauma and cause infection.
Second, the key parts of rodent extermination
● Municipal underground pipelines
● Public green space
● Residential communities and underground spaces
●Small and medium-sized restaurants, hotels (restaurants)
● Farmers' market
● Gymnasium and its surroundings
●Remediation and demolition of illegal areas
●Other places and sites where rodents are present
3. How to get rid of rodents
In the external environment, it is recommended to use rodenticides with bromadiolone, bromafen and fluorratin as active ingredients and wax blocks and granules. It is recommended to use rodent control equipment such as sticky rat boards and rat trap cages for indoor rodent control.
1. Flat mouse clamping method (with children, pets, use with caution!!)
The first thing to do is to store the food in the room and insert the bait when placing the trap. If you hear a rat trap, treat it immediately. After catching mice, remove the blood stains and smell on the clip in time. Continuous rat trapping, rat traps should be changed frequently.
2. Drug rodent control (do not use !! if you have children and pets at home)
Drug rodent control is currently the most common, convenient, economical and effective rodent control method. However, in the family, for safety reasons, such as having children or pets, it is easy to be poisoned by mistake.
Safety Tips:
1. Personnel who put rodenticidal bait should wear masks and gloves, and it is strictly forbidden to smoke and eat to avoid the bait being eaten by mistake.
2. Dead rats are forbidden to be directly touched by hand. For contact, the operator must wear disposable gloves. After disposal, the used gloves should be disposed of in a timely manner.
3. Disposal of rat corpses. Dead rats found after unified rodent eradication should be buried deep (away from water sources) and other harmless treatment in time. If a dead rat of unknown cause is found, it should be reported to a professional for disposal.
4. Poisoning treatment. If you have rodenticide poisoning, go to a nearby hospital for treatment immediately.
3. Rat-board gluing method
Sticky mouse glue is non-toxic, safe and environmentally friendly, and is very convenient in families, schools, hospitals, food factories, canteens, grain depots, warehouses, kindergartens and other occasions.
How to use:
● Open the sticky mouse board, the adhesive side is facing up, and place it in a place where rats are frequented, if it is not caught within a week, you can change the place.
●Place the mouse board on paper with good water absorption.
● To prevent the rat from struggling and dragging, it can be fixed to the ground with adhesive tape.
● After catching mice, put them in a garbage bag, seal them, and discard them.
4. Rat cages
The rat cage is divided into different functions such as spring type and continuous type, which can be selected and purchased according to the family situation, and placed on the road where the rat activity by the wall is the only way. The same as the sticky mouse board, the spring cage is not installed with a spring, and the food is placed in the cage, so that the rat can successfully eat for 1~2 days, and after relaxing its vigilance, the spring mechanism is set up to catch the mouse.
Fourth, how to prevent rodents
1. Doors and windows are guaranteed to be seamless
The key to rodent prevention is to prevent rats from entering your home, and to close doors and windows tightly, especially where the door and the ground are in contact.
2. Clean up garbage in time
Keep the home clean and hygienic, clean up sundries and kitchen garbage in time, so that waste does not accumulate, and do not leave a place for rats to live.
3. Keep food tightly sealed
Exposed food can attract rats, so don't leave food randomly, fruits and vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator, snacks and other foods can be sealed and canned, and the food supply for rats can be cut off.
4. Inspect the bottom of the furniture regularly
Rats generally like to nest in wardrobes, refrigerators, and the bottom of sofas, which should be checked and cleaned regularly. The wardrobe door should be tight so that the rats have nowhere to hide.
