Features of the house mouse

General description:

• The size of the mouse does not exceed 7-9 cm, the tail is the same length.
• The dorsal color is gray or slightly yellowish, the belly is slightly lighter gray.
• Weight 19 grams.
• They are mammals.

They reproduce in a residential building year-round, in outdoor conditions in the summer, during the warm season. The ability to reproduce appears at one and a half to two months of life. The gestation period lasts up to 28 days. The female arranges her nest, placing pieces of newspapers and wool there. Due to the frequent birth of mice, the population is rapidly increasing.

Before the cubs appear, the mouse becomes aggressive and can attack a person, bite or scratch. If this happens and the mouse scratches you, go to the hospital immediately for medical attention.

Mice eat food of plant and animal origin. They are most active at night or during twilight hours. They make warm nests for their little mice, and they always have food supplies in their holes.

Rodents easily adapt to any conditions. If there is no food in one human dwelling, they quickly leave and emigrate to another dwelling.

Michael

I have been using the Tornado ultrasonic mouse and rat repeller for several years. Very satisfied. I live in a private house, so mice appear here periodically (they run away from the fields). This tool is simply irreplaceable. It really repels rodents, and most importantly, it is safe for ourselves and our pets. No problems or worries. Turn on the device and forget about the problem. Everything works great. I'm happy.

Chemicals

Poison for mice

Among the various control methods, poisons and toxic chemicals are used quite often. The principle of action is that an animal that has consumed food with poison begins to bleed internally. There is a disruption in the functioning of the kidneys, liver and other organs. The rodent dies. The pest does not always die immediately after the “deadly meal”, so it is important to provide round-the-clock access to the bait.

Important! Mice do not go to a distant place to die. They die in the same place where they found food with poison, and the process of decomposition of rodent corpses occurs quickly.

Along with the unsightly sight, this also provides a nauseating aroma. Mouse carcasses should be disposed of without delay. The advantages of the method are that the poison can be purchased at any hardware store.

Important! Use the drug carefully, using all means of protection. Also keep it away from the kitchen, children, and pets.

Please note that if a rodent eats the bait and goes to die in its hole, then you will have to feel the unpleasant smell that the decomposing corpse of the mouse will emit. In addition, rodents have the ability to quickly adapt to poisons, so they will have to be changed from time to time.

Here are some of the most effective substances with poisonous properties:

1. "Mouse Death"
2. "Rat Death"
3. "Storm".
4. Ratron.
5. Havoc Rat & Mouse Bait.

Lures

When using them, it is recommended to adhere to hygiene rules, in particular, thoroughly wash your hands and use protective clothing. Smoking, drinking and eating are prohibited in the room or barn where they are used. Such means include:

1. "Rodentoff".
2. "Otkrys."
3. Ratron.
4. Euroqand.
5. "Nutcracker".

Aerosols and sprays

The peculiarity of this method is that it sprays an aroma that small rodents cannot tolerate. Sprays contain toxic substances that repel rats and mice. The contents of the aerosols are applied to wires, plastic and other surfaces for 14 days. After two weeks, the treatment process must be repeated. The advantage is that the method does not harm the surrounding nature and animals.

The peculiarities of the spray are the need for repeated use. After a certain period, re-processing will be required. Known drugs:

1. Marder-Schutz-Spray.
2. Pestro.

A way to control mice in the house and country house

A way to combat mice in the house and in the country When autumn comes and many summer residents close the season and take their cats to the city for “winter apartments,” field mice get an excellent chance to take over your country house and set up their winter quarters there.

Mice in your home are attracted not only by the possible food supply, but also simply by a warm place.

After all, even in an unheated house the temperature is 10-15 degrees higher than outside. And there’s more than enough insulation of any kind. And even if you don’t have any supplies of cereals and other foods loved by mice there, you’re unlikely to like heaps of mouse droppings, worn-out blankets, chewed-up seeds, etc. In general, you need to fight mice.

One of the simplest and most accessible ways to catch mice is to use special glue (“ALT”, “Clean House”, etc.). Unlike a mousetrap, for example, a trap with glue can “accept” several mice at once. And holding mice is more reliable.

There have been cases where a mouse literally crawls out of its skin (at least from its own tail), but they could not tear themselves away. The glue never dries out and remains functional in the tube for many years, and the adhesion is already “in place” - for many weeks, until it becomes dusty or exposed to direct moisture.

Just a revolution in catching small rodents. But catching mice with glue also has its own characteristics, which I want to talk about based on personal experience. The glue must be applied to some flat and hard object, preferably as smooth as possible.

Attention! The fact is that the mouse, once stuck in the glue, will naturally try to get out of it. If you apply glue to something that she can cling to with her paw claws, it may come off. This is only a small and weak mouse in appearance, but its specific muscle strength is an order of magnitude stronger than that of a human.

A bad option is polystyrene foam pallets, for example. An even worse option is material that absorbs glue, i.e. kind of porous. For example - plywood, board, fabric... A good option is PET or other hard plastic.

I usually use all sorts of smooth plastic trays for all sorts of food products. Here they are unrivaled in all respects, plus the fact that they retain the smell of food, which serves as an additional bait for mice.

Speaking of bait. Mice are not such stupid animals as they seem. They do not wander around the house aimlessly, but in general they “jackal” in search of food and a place where they can build a nest. Well, in search of food, they focus on food that is familiar to them.

And these are mainly various plant seeds, cereals, dicotyledons, cotyledons, etc. Unfortunately, the stereotype from stupid cartoons that the best food for a mouse is cheese is firmly rooted in the minds of the average person.

Well, think for yourself, what kind of cheese can an ordinary Russian mouse encounter in the wild?! Cheese is a completely new and unknown food for a mouse; it will think 100 times before throwing itself at it, and then only out of extreme hunger.

How to get rid of mice

The best bait is one that is completely familiar to the mouse and does not arouse any suspicion in it. Those. that from cereals, grains. And this is just bread! It is desirable to be more fragrant, so that it smells from afar and contains some kind of bran, grains, etc.

There's a lot of this in bakeries now. And to enhance its alluring effect, it is better to flavor it with a few drops of sunflower or other oil. Of course, unrefined, but with a smell. After all, it conveys the smell of ripe grain or seeds like nothing else.

Advice! And the craving for this smell is “hardwired” into the mouse’s mouse undercoat, at the genetic level. Mice rush to this smell like the Nazi Germans crossed the border in 1941 - in a crowd and in full force. I must say that in the process of searching for the ideal bait, I came across sesame oil.

We don’t grow sesame, but it has such a strong “grainy” and appetizing smell that the result exceeded all expectations. This oil is sold in small bottles and is added to salads or baked goods literally drop by drop, it is so aromatic.

The “seedy” smell of sesame oil has a simply hypnotic effect on mice, like the magic pipe of Nils or the Pied Piper of Hamelin. During the experiments, two trays stood nearby, both with identical pieces of bread.

Only one was moistened with unrefined sunflower oil, and the second with sesame oil. So, 2-3 mice were stuffed into a tray with sesame oil, and the “sunflower” oil was ignored. Although in fairness it must be said that the mice even climbed the tray with sunflower oil if there was no sesame oil nearby.

This experiment just showed me how much mice prefer the smell of sesame to sunflower. After the “discovery” of this bait and the “glue” fishing method, the fight against mice turned into a real routine. All the mice that had already “registered” in the living space vacated after the cat’s departure were recaptured within a couple of days.

Traps, like fishing rods, had to be checked every hour in order to free them for the next comers. After a couple of days there was complete calm, no rustling or traces of mice. And the rare “tourists” stupidly stomp in marching steps towards the nearest trap where their favorite “Big Mac on a sesame bun” is already waiting for them.

Important! The trap is easy to make. A little glue is squeezed onto the tray (like toothpaste on a brush, roughly). Spread evenly over the tray with some sliver. And a cube of bread moistened with a few drops of sesame oil is placed in the center. That's all.

There can be as many mice in this tray as there are places that can live there. And no “false positives” or misses, like in a mousetrap. If several mice are packed into the tray, it’s easier, of course, to throw it away. And if there are only one or two, it’s better to tear them off somehow (I use large tongs) and reuse the tray and bait.

Best Ultrasound Devices

These models are usually made in China. The bottom line is that they repel rodents. Due to ultrasonic waves, mice are affected. They become uncomfortable being in the range of the device. That is, they independently leave this region. You can buy these priors in many specialized stores. It is also possible to purchase them on thematic platforms such as AliExpress or Ebay. However, it is highly recommended to read reviews in order to purchase a truly high-quality product.

Important . Such devices have a limited range. It is also necessary to periodically change the batteries if they do not operate on 220 V. Gadgets have a limited range, so to protect a large area from mice you need to buy quite a lot of devices. They are really effective.
