After hearing odd noises up in my dormer bungalow roof area I decided to put a camera up there to see what is going on.
Results are I have rodents!
Looking at the recordings they seem different types of sizes - I can’t work out if they are mice or rats!
I have set cameras outside the property as I was attempting to figure out how they were getting in - so far those cameras have failed in detecting any rodent activity.
I purchased x8 mouse traps (snap ones) however makes me sick thinking about using these .
Looking at getting a few of the humane ones off amazon and putting those down in a few days.
Speaking to a few pest control advisors and they have suggested the best method would be to use poison bait, the idea of a dead mouse/rat up in the roof is not something I would want! Issue with dormer area is that it is very difficult to get around - crawling space at best. God knows what I am going to find up there!
Will be trimming back trees/bushes, covering air vents with mesh in the mean time.
Am I on the right track? I can’t see what else pest control would do if I booked one to pop over.
