The Difference Between DIY And Professional Rodent Control
Some people try to save some extra cash by testing out DIY rodent control methods, and while that's a great practice for prevention, it's largely ineffective and potentially dangerous to try to exterminate them on your own for several reasons:
- Mousetraps – mice and rats are much smarter than they're given credit, and can easily avoid getting snapped while still absconding with the bait
- Poison – this type of bait leads to monumental environmental problems if they're eaten by other carnivores after being poisoned, and is a huge health hazard around pets and small children
- Mothballs – wholly ineffective in small amounts, and dangerous in larger amounts necessary to eradicate a rodent infestation
- Essential oils – completely ineffective, and potentially dangerous if you have pets
- Ultrasonic repellents – barely effective for a short amount of time, but overall useless and a waste of money. Once rodents get used to the noise, they come right back
