Learning to identify the rat poop
The mouse droppings have very peculiar characteristics: they are very tiny, dark and its shape is similar to a seed. If the stool is wet or black, it means he lately defecated on site. In contrast, if the stools are dry and found grayish, that means he defecated and its been a while. Look closely at the room where you found the stool. The presence of feces indicates that possibly something inside the room attracted the rats. The presence of feces can also show you the presence of a hole, crack or cracks through which these animals might enter.
Eliminate your rat from home with traps
Take action in this situation and eliminate the rats once and for all from your home with traps created specifically to capture live animals. Rats end up going to the plastic traps because of something attracted them there: you can put a food bait glued to them (use peanut butter or cheese). You can also use the traps (pressure traps), they are conventional. While older, they are very effective for capturing rats. They must also have a bait (food) to attract rats.
Pressure traps work like this: when the mouse goes into the trap to eat the food that is in it, it would be eventually standing on its base.Its weight will cause a wire fell on him, leaving him completely stuck. These traps are very cheap and you don’t (problably) have to worry about rat poop ever again! You can buy several and spread them through the house- in all places where rats may be present. Place a piece of paper or folded paper underneath the trap. In this way it will be easier to clean up the site and throw the mouse far away when it is caught. Traps have the advantage to kill the mouse quickly, without causing suffering to it.
