About the mouse

Rats not only threaten human health, but also cause great damage to our lives.
Let's get rid of it after fully understanding the habits of rats.

In Japan, more than 20 kinds of rats are known.
There are three kinds of things you can see in and around the house.

• Salmonella bacteria in mice excrement can cause food poisoning.
• It is bitten by a house mites that parasitizes rats and causes itching.

• It bites furniture and food to cause damage.
• It bites electric wires and gas pipes to create a cause of power outages and fires, and bind computer cables to paralyze their functions.

The basis of rat control is "environmental improvement", which is to create an environment where rats are difficult to live.
Extermination using equipment and chemicals is effective only after taking environmental measures.

• Put the food in a container with a lid.
• Let's keep the kitchen tidy.
• Don't leave kitchen garbage or water.

• Attach wire mesh to drains, vents, etc., so that rats do not enter.
• Block holes in piping gaps in pipes and around the introduction of air conditioners.
• It may pass through even a hole of about 1 cm.

• Create nests under the floor, behind the ceiling, closet, drawer, etc.
  Let's try to keep it organized and clean.
• Paper, cloth, birches, etc. will be used as nest materials, so do not leave them alone.

Although it is generally considered inefficient, it can be useful in places where pesticides cannot be used.
When using equipment, be careful not to get injured.

• Continue to set it up for more than 3 days after rats appear.
• Fresh ingredients such as Satsuma fried chicken and sweet potatoes are used for food.

Set up in the aisle for more than 3 consecutive days.

It is a method of mixing the rat's favorite food and feeds it to cause poisoning.
There are two types of insecticides: acute poison and cumulative poison.
Choose the right one according to the type of mouse.

It is a drug that has a blood coagulation blocking effect, and has a fatal effect when eaten continuously for 4 to 8 consecutive days.

It is effective to feed the lethal dose at once.

• During the hot season, rats that have died in hidden places will rot and cause odors, so it is better to avoid using them outside of winter.
• Clean up the food that becomes food and drives it into hunger.
• It is set up in places where you are active or near the street.
• If you don't eat it as a pesticide, mix it with the rat's favorite food and make it a dumpling or sprinkle it.
  In that case, be careful not to eat people or pets accidentally.

After extermination, be sure to check if the effect has been obtained.
Post-processing is also important.
Spray insecticide on the place where the mouse was or dead.
