Trapping and toxic baits are two of the most common methods of reducing rodent populations. A variety of sticky traps, snap traps, multiple live traps, etc. are available and should be placed in high infestation areas. These can be monitored for success daily and kept clean. Sticky glue board traps lose their effectiveness in dusty areas. These must be placed where pigs or other domestic animals will not get into them.
Rats tend to feed in one or two locations.
Mice nibble at food here and there along their path. Baits and traps should be located in secluded areas along walls where rats and mice tend to feed. Fumigants should be used only by licensed pest control operators. Once rodent control has been achieved, an ongoing control program needs to be maintained. Eliminate or reduce the number of places rodents can use for shelter.
