While there are people who like to have rodents as pets, most people don’t want them in their homes and see them as pests that can carry disease. Putting out traps, getting a cat, or sprinkling poison around their homes are just some of the ways that they use to try to get rid of them. For a lot of people, though, the idea of getting rid of the rodents is coupled with an unease at deliberately and often inhumanely killing them, and people are starting to look for better ways to get them out of and away from their homes that don’t involve harm to the little creatures.

If you want to remove rats and mice from your home and/or discourage them from coming around the good news is that there are natural solutions for rodent control that you can use so you don’t have to kill them. Killing them ‘humanely’ has been another argument that people have made, but what constitutes ‘humane’ killing is certainly arguable, so no real conclusion on that has been reached. There aren’t that many choices for people who don’t want to kill rodents or cause them to suffer but who certainly don’t want them around, but there are two: trapping them humanely and releasing them elsewhere, and using natural methods to keep others away.
