A HANDY TIP FOR YOUR FIGHT AGAINST MICE AND RATS

Do you know how to tell the extent of your mouse problem? Here is a quick suggestion.

Mice are sneaky! Their innate ability to avoid detection allows them to thrive, living off whatever they find in and around your home or farm. When planning your defense against these pesky critters, it's crucial to understand the extent of the problem.

If you spot one mouse or rat, you can be certain there are many—many—many more.

Here's a useful tip to determine the size of your rodent problem.

The level of destruction on each card will indicate how many mice are present. For the most precise measurement, use a downloadable card or a premade version with designated markers (follow the link below or visit us in-store). Alternatively, you can use graph paper or divide the card into squares—by assessing the percentage of chewed squares, you'll get a clearer picture of the infestation.

Important note: This method won't provide an accurate reading if other food sources are nearby. When placing the cards, ensure there's nothing else attracting the mice. Similarly, if you're baiting or trapping, having additional food sources available will reduce the effectiveness of your efforts.
