Rodent Removal and Remedies UK

Rodents are active at this time of year. In late summer they think about shelter for winter and start building nests in warm areas like old garden huts or garages.
A second problem comes as rodents scavenge for food to see them through winter.

Rodent Food and Damage

• Mice love to eat crocus and other newly planted bulbs.
• I have found rats like the warmth of my compost heap to say nothing of the kitchen food scraps they can find on the heap.
• Rodents chew sacks and even wires and can make holes just where you do not want them

Remedy these problems with a chemical product or opt for a humane trap.
Keep food stocks in safe containers

Humane traps leave you with the problem of disposal. It isn’t right or fair to the animal. For example if you catch a grey squirrel it is illegal to let it go again. There is no legal poison for home owners to use on squirrels.
So that leaves lethal traps designed to do what it says in the name.
