The sight of a mouse in one's house is a nightmare because with one comes along others for a party. They have a vivacious breeding habit such that in a matter of weeks, you could have a dozen of them. Apart from the fact that they communicate using their urine dropping diseases everywhere, they could harm your cable wires, eat up your documents, destroy your food items and cause so much havoc and this is why they are pests and the first thought of a house owner on sighting them is to kill them, I do kill them actually.
However, there are animal lovers who would rather look for a less horrible way to get rid of them without causing any harm
1. The use of scents. Rats have a sharp sense of smell and they hate the scent of some spices like peppermint, black pepper, garlic . Simply acquire these items and place them in sensitive areas where you know there is an increase in the rat activities. This is a natural and safe method of chasing them out of your house but do not forget these creatures are smart and can easily circumvent this.
2. Use of non-lethal traps.: these are human traps that are made in such a way to trap the rat in a container with no way out. It uses baits anywhere. Just drop the trap where there is high rodent activity or droppings and watch them take the bait. After it catches them, dispose of the rat very far away from your house to ensure it doesn't return again.
3. Keep your home clean and tidy. Rats ain't dirty animals but a dirty environment is more appealing to them. Secure your food tightly and seal up all holes. These will help you get rid of the rats humanely without having to poison or kill them.
