How to rid your residence of Mice and or Rats

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Riddex plug in box
  • Electricity
  1. Step 1

    Have you seen little varmits squirming around climbing up and down your screen?
    Or little black things all over your place?
    Well, you can go to the local Hardware store and buy the green pellets in bags.
    The mice eat them and are suppose to dry out. Sometimes they work.
    Mice and rats are smart they know that the green cubes are something like food and they pile them up in your BBQ to make a home with food. Or they take the pellets out of the bags and stick them in your shoes in your closets. When you go to wear your shoes you will find the green pellets in them.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2
    I am not promoting this product nor do I make anything by telling you about it but they really do work.
    Riddex are little boxes you plug into your walls and they keep mice and rats away.

  3. Step 3

    Measure your living space. You need approximately 2 plug in boxes per every 2000 square feet. The more you get the better they work.
    They make the rats and mice disappear. I think it gives off a sound that they do not like.

Tips & Warnings
  • Very easy. Plug one in each side of your house. If you have a home bigger than 2000 square feet and less than 4000 square feet get 4.
  • Get some for the garage, too.
  • Don't let children play with the wall boxes.

on 11/9/2009 I have cats who usually BRING in the mice and let them go in the house - LOL. They usually do this when I've been working too much and they think I need some play time. Seems like they are smiling as I am chasing the little buggers!
