Rats proliferate in urban, peri-urban and agricultural areas.
The black rat and the brown rat are distinguished and generally their weight does not exceed 500 grams and often resides in the attic,
cellars or around dwellings.
Whereas the mice are smaller in size,
grey or brown in colour and are set up in the isolated and comfortable places of the house.
Why do they find refuge in our homes?
In cold times, rodents invade our group houses, looking for food and hot places to shelter.
Their developed sense of smell allows them to detect all kinds of food that are usually found in our homes and kitchens.
These rodents feed on foods like bread, flour,
wheat, sweets or pet food.
They build their gites made from paper or plastic bags by making ball nests
15 to 20 cm in diameter and most often take refuge behind a refrigerator,
under the sofa, under the radiator or under the bed.
How to get rid of rodents and prevent their colonization?
Some parts of our houses, hidden and comfortable, become refuges for small rodents.
Also, it’s important to target their favorite places before they’re too late and colonize ours.
mainly because they can have 4 to 8 worn each year.
Also, the use of chemicals to control these rodents,
remains dangerous for both human and human health
for those of our pets.
The best thing is to use alternative methods and tricks to get rid of them.
Inspection of the house
It is therefore a question of inspecting the place and the best time will be at dusk when everything is quiet and quiet.
Use a flashlight to inspect holes and potential entrances by looking for rodent marks,
such as excreta or small pieces of paper.

Once the traces of the rodents are discovered, a complete cleaning should be carried out.
by eliminating any trace of food that is
in the inputs particularly stressed by the mice.
