Start now with effective rats and mice control

A rat or mouse infestation in the barn quickly becomes expensive. The pests not only consume feed, but also contaminate large quantities in the surrounding area with feces and urine. As a result, the feed becomes unusable. Depending on the severity of the infestation and feed prices, this can easily lead to feed losses of up to 4,000 euros per year. Effective rat and mouse control is therefore essential.

Learn here more about the various methods to control rats and mice on your farm.

First step: Barn hygiene

Before placing traps or implementing other control measures, the first step toward effective rodent control is a good barn hygiene. Thus, cleaning and tidying up the areas around the barn. Mice like to build their nests in soft materials, whereas rats prefer rough materials such as cardboard, leaves, or insulation materials. Therefore, always clear these away to deprive the rodents of shelter.

Additionally, make sure that feed is inaccessible to harmful rodents and seal any cracks and crevices through which rats and mice could enter the premises.

Manual methods for rats and mice control


Traps

Traps (mechanical, electronic, or live-catch traps) provide a non-chemical method for controlling rats and mice. They should be placed along main areas of activity near walls, protected from pets, and must be inspected and emptied regularly.Buy now

Biological control

Chemical-free, biological methods reduce rodent populations and are safe for animals and the environment. In addition to preventing secondary poisoning, this approach promotes biodiversity.
