Diseases and Health Concerns

Rats and mice are known to carry diseases that are quite harmful to humans and even pets and other animals, which is another reason to promptly call animal control if your home is under attack. Rats and mice can carry various plague viruses, hantavirus, rat-bite fever. They are home to certain parasites like tapeworms, fleas, and ticks. Rodents can poison food supplies with their droppings and urine.

Rat and Mouse Traps

There are many different styles of rat and mouse traps to choose from:

Tried-and-true snap traps. These are the most common and effective traps. When the trap is sprung, the rodent is usually killed quickly, reducing the chance of suffering. The TomCat Profession series of traps works every time.
Glue Traps – While glue traps are marketed as humane traps, they really are not very humane. The rat or mouse gets stuck in the glue, and will sometimes chew their way to safety. Disposal of a live catch is also a concern and like trapping with a cage, you should call a professional rodent exterminator to dispose of your caught rodents.
