Mice or rats traps/poison should not be used alone. They should be combined with an inspection and regular checks and closing all entry points for rodents.
Why they are ineffective?
Because mice reproduce quickly and can cause a huge infestation in just a couple of weeks, so placing some poison and traps here and there will not do much. If you don’t know there’s a nest in your house, you will never be able to get rid of them on your own.
That’s why professional pest controllers do an extremely thorough property inspection so they can identify the holes through which rodents come inside your home, and find out if there’s a nest in your home.
The gestation period for mice is about 20 days which means that only one female can have up to 10 litters per year, of up to 10-12 young per one litter. Which means that for each pregnant female mice, you can get 10 young mice to roam your house.
Professionals have tools that help them inspect hard to reach places and walls for holes and mice nests. You on your own, won’t do an efficient inspection and might not be aware of your rodents problem for a long time.
