Often unexpected guests appear in the country house or garden - pests. It can be quite problematic to remove them, and they create serious problems - they can eat sprouts, destroy root crops, and they can also move into your home.
Rats reproduce quite quickly, so the problem must be addressed immediately after detection. Small holes in the beds will indicate that this is where the dwelling is located. It can go about 35 cm deep. Getting the animals can be difficult.
How to get rid
There are various methods for eliminating such neighbors from the garden. The main thing is to remember that if there are pets or children walking on the site, then you need to protect them as much as possible from the influence of rodents. You can try to scare away rats or get rid of them altogether. Repellent methods:
- Pungent smell. Vishnevsky's ointment is diluted in a container with water and the ground where the animal's burrow is supposedly located is used. They cannot stand such a smell, so they can either change place or leave.
- Needles. Spruce needles scattered along the route of pests will help to repel them for a while, since they touch their paws and injure them.
- Ash. You can also sprinkle paths with ash. It burns the animal's skin, so it will retreat.
Before moving on to methods of extermination, it is best to try to scare away the rats. The animals can go to a safe place and no longer cause trouble.
I
The most popular and effective way to get rid of any pests is poison. Poisoned baits are scattered in the habitats of pests, as well as in their burrow. Choose:
- "Difa-Neo" based on grain;
- “Difa” is a paraffin briquette.
Plants
Elder. Elderberry bushes release special substances into the soil that pests cannot tolerate. Therefore they are forced to retreat. You can also plant juniper, mint, and wormwood. They all act as repellents. Rats communicate with each other, so they will pass on the information and leave.
Sound repellers
This repeller needs to be placed directly in the hole. It emits ultrasonic waves, which have a detrimental effect on the animal’s psyche. They will be forced to flee. The downside is that the range is small.
Bait
You can dig a hole near the rodent's burrow and place a bucket there into which food is poured. The animal will sense the prey and follow the scent. You can lightly cover the bucket with gauze. As soon as the animal steps on it, it will fall into the bucket and can be removed.
Trap
They use mousetraps and glue installations into which the animal can get caught. It is worth considering the size and place where to put it. It is better to bury them near the mink.
It is advisable to get a cat that will scare away all the rats that interfere with the growth of the crop.
Everything you write did not help - disinfectant tablets saved, 1/4 in a hole. Awesome effect. There will be no harm to the earth.
