Lets Fight Rats …!

Rat is a pest and very disturbing. Interference from noise in the ceiling of the house, the smell, until the crumbs of food scraps are thrown . Even more dangerous is dirt and disease spread by this  animals that active at night.

Sometimes quite difficult to eradicate rats. Because the animal is quite clever and are suspicious of poison and traps. Besides the speed of reproduction that can make the numbers quickly multiply. If left unchecked, will form a colony of rats.

There are two practical ways to pull out of the house mouse. First, control measures by using bait traps and poison-based tools and materials. The second way to use traps and rat repellent backed with advanced tools electrified, and is associated with pest control cost. Each way has its advantages and disadvantages.

There are many methods of pest control mice with the bait and traps. However, the most commonly used is the clamp, cage, and mice glue.

Traps with confinement model is relatively more secure because it does not use toxic chemicals. Rodents or their carcasses also not hard to find because it was in the trap, attached to the glue or inside the cage. Confinement capacity can accommodate about 15-20 rats. That includes sewer rat which is about 25cm.

Rat cages have weaknesses too. Confinement is easily learned by rats. For example, there is a trapped rat, and simultaneously there is another rat-free. Free mice that normally would not instinctively pass on the confinement area.

Rat poison capable of killing mice in a short time. This method is quite effective when soaring rat population. Toxins are sown in the form of black powder which is used as bait food like the rest of the cheese, meat, or beans. The mice then ate food mixed with poison. After one hour, toxins in the body reacts. Over time, the mice were death.

Rat poison bait has its disadvantages. Mice will not touch the bait if their friend had died after eating the food earlier. Another drawback is that rat poison contaminated can die anywhere. That way, dead rats could not be detected quickly. Detection of the carcass is usually done from the source of the stinging carcass. If not immediately found, dead rats can cause disease.

Toxins will create visibility and durability of mice so declined. Over time, the mice will die of fatigue to find the light that his views more clearly. Typically mice will die in about four days.

Trap and repellent

The principle works the same as ordinary mousetrap. Mice lured by the bait to get into the trap. After that, the mice will die from electric shock device. Traps are also equipped with an indicator light that turns green when there is a trapped rat. Users can find easily and immediately dispose of dead rats.

The absence of toxic chemicals that are used so the advantages of this tool. Dead rats are also easily removed so it does not pollute the house. In addition to electric shock, there is also a kill rats by using carbon dioxide.

Another way is a mouse repellent electric. This tool works by using ultrasonic waves. These ultrasonic waves will interfere with the auditory nerve of mice, also other insect. But it is safe for humans and pets. In the market, you can get the cheap pest control.

If the problem is to paint the exterior walls of your house is dull, do repainting could be the solution. To do so, is highly dependent on the wall surface to be painted.

New wall paint (aged less than one month) is different from painting the walls of the old ways. New walls are still filled with pores that can suck the paint. Therefore, to save the paint, we recommend that your new wall lining the walls with water-base sealer or solvent base of good quality.

Once coated, the surface of the wall will become more smooth, flat, and ready to be painted. Before doing the painting, notice the humidity caused by the wall material used as a mixture of basic material of the wall.

Also, if you have a problem peeling paint, you can fix it in a way repainted. In order for maximum results, you better do it in one time. Exterior wall paint (exterior) that peeling occurs because early treatment is wrong.

Therefore, the final paint layer can not be strong glue. Actually you can do to prevent the peeling paint with no pretreatment before painting. Perform the entire painting process correctly, including selecting an appropriate paint. In addition, despite using a special paint exterior, we recommend retaining the base paint to paint the end of a strong glue.

Paint the wall with one color should be done within a one-time execution. Before the paint on all surfaces polished walls, do not stop so that the color is no different.
