Here is a brief introduction of the advantages and disadvantages of the more common rodent catching/deratization tools in our daily life.
1. Stick rat board
A rat board is a common tool for catching rats. It is usually a piece of cardboard with a strong adhesive glue that sticks to a rat or insect when it passes by. The advantage of sticky rat board is that the area of sticky rat board is large, and multiple mice can be captured at one time. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the area is large, and the space required for the release is large. Often, the places where rats appear are some places with narrow space. And the glue quality of the glue board used on the market is not good or bad, poor glue adhesion is poor, and glue will send out certain toxic and harmful substances. Therefore, it is recommended to be careful when using rat board to avoid the glue sticking to hands or clothes, which is not only difficult to remove, but also will hurt the skin.
2.Rat poison
Rat poison is poison for the purpose of killing mice. Different kinds of rat poison have different principles. Most of them damage the nerve center to death by highly toxic, some reduce the brittleness of blood vessels, and some cause respiratory paralysis to achieve the effect of killing mice. Compared with other rodent control tools, rat poison has no advantages, but its disadvantages are very obvious, that is, “poison”. There are always examples of other small animals or pets dying from accidental ingestion, regardless of precautions. Therefore, it is not recommended to use rat poison for rodent control.
3. Mouse trap
The main principle of the mouse trap is to use the torsion of the spring. Break the clip, insert the clip, wait for the mouse to touch, automatic pressure back. There are a variety of large and small mouse traps on the market. The advantage of mouse traps is that they occupy a small space and are not affected by placing them in the narrow space where rats often appear. The disadvantage of the mouse trap is the strength of the rebound, not careful situation is easy to clip themselves. Especially the larger size, it is easy to be triggered by other small animals or pets after placing. Therefore, it is suggested to choose the small size of mouse trap, which is not only simple to place, but also safer.
4. Mouse cages
The mouse cage from the appearance of the mouse cage only “open” and “close” two actions each other rotation, namely the cage door open (waiting for the mouse to enter the state); The door of the cage is closed, ie the mouse is captured and trapped Traditional rat cage is an ancient invention, for the human rodent standing credit, had brilliant. Many of its advantages are hard to replace, but the use of traditional cages has actually declined in recent decades. Why is that? First of all, the traditional mouse cages are mostly made of iron wire and iron net, and each interface is tied with iron wire or rope, which is easy to loosen because of weak binding. The second is the long-term exposure of iron can be oxidized, causing damage. The last is the bait, mostly for the hook type. But it’s not easy to lure a rat into a cage, and it’s even harder to pull the hook forward. If the rat carefully eats the bait and does not pull the hook, or if the rat does not pull forward but “mistakenly” pulls left, right, or backward, it cannot trigger or activate the mechanism to close the cage door and trap the rat. All these are important reasons for the low rat-catching rate in traditional cages. However, with the development of science and technology, the wide application of plastic, now there is a plastic mouse cage on the market, the plastic mouse cage set the advantages of the traditional mouse cage, but also very good to avoid the disadvantages of the traditional mouse cage. For example: plastic is not oxidized rust, pedal mechanism, to avoid the mice into the cage without triggering mechanism shortcomings, really do come to nowhere to escape. Therefore, it is recommended to use the plastic mouse cage.
