The Australian farming community is facing the serious issue of mouse plague. Farmers in South Australia, NSW, and Queensland have already reported a mouse invasion of plague proportions. Rodents are living off on crops. They have also started invading the suburban homes which is very hazardous for the families.
The devastating mouse plague issue has got worse with drought-breaking rainfalls. The large amounts of crop ready have resulted into destructive mouse plague.
In history, rodents have been responsible for massive damages of food and property. They also pose a serious threat to human health. Rodents have a tendency to consume vast amounts of food. They also contaminate crops and food. The habit of consistent gnawing may lead to serious damage. Electrical wires and cables may too get damaged resulting in fire damage. Additionally, rodents are also known to transmit diseases such as food poisoning (Salmonella).
Use of rodenticides is known to be the best way to remove rodents from house. Here are some tips to prevent them from making an entry to your home and get rid of them too:
Make sure you regularly clean the home. Take special care of cleaning under and behind your kitchen appliances. Always keep the lid of trash closed and empty them regularly.
This is very important. Strictly avoid leaving food out. Always keep bowls of your pets clean. Food should be stored in glass or metal containers. Plastic should be strictly avoided as rodents are known to chew through this material.
De-cluttering is very important. Removing clutter from within the house and plant debris in the garden will help you to get rid of dirt from potential living spaces. This will repel rodents.
Seal up all cracks around doors, windows, electrical outlets, floorboards, and pipes. Replace any torn door screens, and windows.
Since rodents have a tendency to climb up branches of trees and creepers, it is wise to keep a safe distance between home and garden. Make sure the trees and plants trimmed at regular intervals.
Do you have a cat as a pet? Let it out and have fun hunting down rats and mice. Cats and other pets will also act as potential deterrent. They will keep rodents from returning to the area
