Tis the season for ... rodents
At least here in Virginia it is. Things are warming up and they are looking for good nesting sites. I am all about solutions and DIY bait. I'm dealing with several properties for clients as well as my own. Rats - in attic and in crawl space. Solution: Moth balls. Refresh monthly. They just leave. Mice - Bait: 1 c baking soda, 1/2 c cornbread mix, 1-2 T maple syrup. If inside, I put a sticky trap in a box( usually a but down amazon box), add a teaspoon of bait in the center of the sticky trap, maybe some cat kibble about edges. They come, they eat, they get stuck, they die. You pick up the entire box and toss. Then set up another. Depending on box size, use more than one sticky.... or set up multiple boxes in different locations. Ants - 1 c boric acid, 1 cup powder sugar. I upcycled some random lidded plastic packaging (lunchmeat?), drill 1/4 holes in one end, fill with bait, set near or in the middle of their trail. They carry it home and wipe out the population at it's source. I'm curious - what are your critter troubles and how are you dealing with it?
