If you keep a pet just for a while, it will not help control mice or rats. First of all, have a thorough clean up of the house to make sure no mice or rats are residing inside the house. You should check the roof space as well. Check all the floors and walls. If there are gaps or holes, seal them. If there is a gap underneath the door, seal it too. You will be surprised that mice can get through really tiny space. These are all places where virmen can get into the house. Of course, keep your windows and doors properly shut overnight.
In Tasmania, there are rats and mice around in very neighbourhood. They mostly live in the field or gardens. Using rat baits, you may kill some but new ones will come if your house is not sealed probably.
We had a similar problem years ago and we found a hole on the floor behind the refrigerator. Once sealed, it is alright. |
