Dealing with a rodent infestation can be tricky and potentially dangerous if not handled properly.
Here's what I can suggest instead:
* Contact a professional pest control company. They are trained and equipped to handle rodent infestations safely and effectively.
* Look for the source of the problem. Rodents are attracted to food and water sources. Make sure your home is clean and free of food scraps, and repair any leaks that might provide access to water.
* Seal up any entry points. Rodents are surprisingly small and can squeeze through very tight spaces. Check your home for any cracks or holes and seal them up with caulk or steel wool.
* Use humane traps. If you prefer not to use poison, humane traps can be an effective way to catch rodents alive and relocate them to a safe distance from your home.
Remember, it's crucial to address the problem safely and responsibly. Always err on the side of caution and seek professional help if needed.
