Rat and Mouse Control

RODENT CONTROL

Rat TrapsWhy Control Rats?
You suspect you may have a rodent problem. You may have seen one or more rats or mice in your home. Should you take steps to control them, or are they harmless. Experience has shown that rodent problems need to be controlled. Above all, rats and mice, whether dead or alive, can spread disease. They find ways to get in food and contaminate it with urine and droppings. They start fires by chewing electrical wires and destroy other valued possessions by gnawing on them. Fortunately, effective rodent control is not an impossible dream. Cooper Seeds has been in the feed business for over a century, so we have plenty of first-hand experience in rodent control. Read on for more information on the pest and how Cooper Seeds can help you achieve control.

Common Species

House Mouse, Mus musculus

House mice are small rodents with relatively large ears and small black eyes. They weigh about 1/2 ounce and usually are light gray in color. An adult is about 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches long, including the three to four inch tail.

Although house mice usually feed on cereal grains, they will eat almost anything. They are sporadic feeders, nibbling bits of food here and there.

Mice have keen senses of hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are excellent climbers and can run up any rough vertical surface. They will run horizontally along wire cables or ropes and can jump up 12 inches from the floor onto a flat surface. Mice can squeeze through openings slightly larger than 1/4 inch in diameter.

In a single year, a female may have five to ten litters of usually five or six young each. Young are born 19 to 21 days after mating, and they reach reproductive maturity in six to ten weeks. The life span of a mouse is usually nine to 12 months.

Roof Rat, Rattus rattus

Roof RatThe roof rat has a tail that is longer than its body, up to a length of 12-16 inches. The tail is scaly with sparse hairs all around it, and the rat has brown fur with a white belly. Roof rats can very climb well and can appear tame. They are most active at night, but if their home is destroyed, displaced rats may be seen in the open during the day.

Norway Rat, Rattus norvegicus

Norway rats are robust rodents that usually weigh about 11 ounces. Adults are 13 to 18 inches long, including a six to nine inch tail. Their fur is coarse, brownish and scattered with black hair on the upper surfaces. The belly fur is typically gray to yellowish-white, and they sport a naked, scaly tail.

Rats will eat nearly anything, but they prefer high-quality foods such as fresh grain, livestock feed, and meat. Rats require 1 fluid ounce of water daily when feeding on dry food.

Rats have keen senses of hearing, smell, taste and touch. They will climb to find food or shelter, and can gain entrance to a building through any opening larger than 1/2 inch in diameter.

Rats have litters of six to 12 young, which are born 21 to 23 days after mating. Young rats are sexually mature in about three months. Breeding occurs mostly in spring and fall. The average female has four to six litters per year. Individuals usually live 12 to 18 months.

Spotting an Infestation

The presence of rodents is usually indicated by their droppings or other evidence of their destructive gnawing. You may also be able to see their tracks on dusty surfaces. Rats' burrows may be found outside next to the building or alongside fences. House mice have a distinctive odor that alludes to their presence. Rodents are active mostly at night but may be seen occasionally during the day; one seen may just be one out of many.

Rodent Control

Sanitation

First, to prevent or begin control of a rat or mouse infestation, steps need to be taken to prevent access to food. However, rodents can survive on limited food supplies, which often necessitates further control measures.

Sanitation Tips

  • Keep bird food in a feeder, rather than on the ground
  • Use metal or high-grade plastic trash cans, and keep them covered
  • Clean up fallen fruits and nuts outside
  • Remove pet food when not in use
  • Clean up pet waste often

Shelter

Stuf-FitStuf-Fit
STUF-FIT is a rust proof copper meshing for sealing rodent entry points. Use it in all kinds of openings to keep out all kinds of pests. When tightly packed into a gap, crack or weep hole, the copper mesh resists being pulled out. Make exclusion work a lot easier. This is a permanent product because it is pure copper. It's interlocked loops can't be pulled apart like steel wool. You can tack it, staple it or glue it into the hardest to get at openings. Rolls are sold in quantities of 20 or 100 feet. Each roll is 6 inches wide, double folded.

Control and Elimination

Established rat colonies are nearly impossible to eliminate without Rodentcides, Glue boards, Traps and the "Know How & Where" to put them.

There is really no way to prevent rodents from coming in your yards. Why? All living things need three things. Water, food and shelter.

  1. Food - Rats can live on anything even animal droppings, any fruit from bearing trees, vegetable gardens, garbage containers, fish, stale meats, straw, green feed (wheat, oats etc. growing in adjacent fields), around lakes and ponds. Does this means you would have to get rid of your pets, gardens, any outside water source, fruit trees all trash etc etc etc.. No! Follow some good advice from someone who runs a feed store and understands their habits and simple ways to rid you and your property of their nuisance.ZP Rodent Bait
  2. Shelter - Rats can live in or outdoors- in walls, attics, basements and under porches. More often than not rats will dig its own home. A rat burrow is a tunnel in which a rats constructs its nest. Freshly dug burrows have an entrance about 2 inches wide with a mound of soil next to the hole. Although new burrows may have only one or two holes, established burrows often have many side tunnels and exits. The soil and vegetation around burrows are often flattened into paths. Common places for burrows are under sidewalks and behind steps, under shrubbery and at building foundations.
    Burrows under dense vegetation may be hard to find. It may be helpful to cut back vegetation around trash cans and other food sources or choose plants you can see under.
    ZP Rodent Bait is ideal to put down burrows. It takes very little for a quick kill and pellets hold up well in adverse conditions, making them a popular choice in moist conditions. The hardness of the pellet also satisfies the rodent's desire to gnaw. Rodents, however, can trans. locate pellets. pest_liquatox.jpg
    Regular mowing discourages rats and may expose burrows. Piles of lumber and other debris also provide shelter for rats, and should be removed whenever possible. During warmer weather when vegetation and rat populations are
    growing you need to check more often under plants and debris
    . Remember a startled rat can be dangerous so be careful.
  3. Water - Since it is impossible to take away all water sources (mice gets all the moisture it needs from its food source so bait and traps are your best weapons) it is a good chance to use another type of bait. Liqua-Tox for rats is inexpensive and easy to use with our fortress bait station that comes with a container for liquid baits.
  4. Mating - Rodents strongest URGE is breeding. They will go after almost anything to build nest. They use plastic or paper bags, automobile parts (hoses insulation etc.), wiring and insulation in your homes, straw, string or rope, you name it. They are great climbers and can eat thru almost anything to get to a breeding site (metal, wood, plastic etc.)
    Rats breed all year long. A female will litter 5 times a year with as many as 12 to 18 pups in a litter and will fight to the death for their young. Rats can become sexually active at 3 months of age. The gestation period is about 3 weeks.

Traps

Rat Traps
If you hear something lurking in your walls, it might be one of his relatives. This rat was captured with a Cooper 745 live trap.

Repeating Rat Trap
Repeating Rat Trap - The trap you see above trapped 5 rats overnight.

Trapping is a great method to control rats and mice. It's probably the safest method, you always know where the rat or mouse is, and you can gauge the success of your control program. Regardless of whether you use a live trap or a snap trap, an effective bait is a must. Some baits that rodents like are peanut butter, or a small piece of hot dog, pizza or partially cooked bacon. Roof rats in particular like green apples, melons, strawberries and jam. If they stop eating, you should change the bait. If they won't eat, you have probably gotten rid of them. Place traps near walls, in darkTip Trap corners and in places where rodent activity is observed. Tip: place bait in disengaged trap to non-destructively familiarize rodents with feeding at the trap.

Live Rodent Traps

These traps are often more successful with capturing the rodents and are the only choice for the squeamish. We carry three types: the Tip-Trap, a small rodent trap that tips over locking in the capture and the Cooper 745 and Repeating Rat Trap, larger cage traps that is great for indoor and outdoor use. Both traps allow you to release the capture without touching it.

    ZP Rodent Bait, with the active ingredient zinc phosphide, is a fast way to clean out areas infested with rats, mice and gophers. Pelleted ZP Rodent Bait is an acute toxicant that kills in one feeding. It's an excellent choice for quick knock-down, such as down burrows. Zinc phosphide is not stored in muscle or other tissue of poisoned animals, alleviating the concern for true secondary poisoning. The odor associated with ZP is not offensive to rodents but does discourage non-target animals. The zinc phosphide in Bell's pelleted bait is mixed throughout the pellet for maximum rodent acceptance. ZP Rodent Bait is economical; teaspoon amounts are equivalent to 4 oz. of anticoagulant bait.

    Liqua-Tox II

    liquid bait station

    The Quart Rat Fount is a bait dispenser that releases a steady supply of any liquid bait for rodents. As the rodents drink, liquid is continuously released in to the bait tray. As you can see, the tray is designed to prevent rodents from drowning in the bait.

    It's constructed of sturdy plastic that offers years of service. The bright red color is easily seen by forklift drivers and other warehouse personnel. A silver label on the body warns that the fount contains poisons harmful to children and pets.

    Fastrac Place Pack is a packaged pelleted bait containing Bromethalin. It kills rats and mice in one or two days, often within 24 hours! As an added plus, rodents stop feeding after eating a lethal dose, saving you money and bait. More rats and mice can be controlled with less bait. The slender place packs can be used in bait stations along rodent runways and in hard-to-reach locations. Packs can be opened also and loose pellets poured down burrows. For mice, we also offer Fastrac Mouse Seed.

    FAST TRAC All Weather BLOX The bait of choice in the pest control industry, Bell's patented All-Weather BLOX are manufactured from Bell's unique extrusion process that yields a hard, multiple-edged bait with the palatability of a meal bait and the weatherability of a paraffinized bait.

    BLOX get unsurpassed rodent acceptance and control.The multiple edges appeal to a rodent's desire to gnaw and BLOX are made with food-grade ingredients and small amounts of paraffin for a highly palatable bait. BLOX work well in any condition -- wet or dry, indoors or out. A hole in the center of the BLOX lets technicians place it on bait securing rods in bait stations, or nail or wire it in place.
