Yeah I was def get that fixed...Lay traps
out ..With peanut butter or cheese on them
...Or another thing are those sticky
pads...But something those dont kills the
rats..They only get stuck on them...I
wouldnt handle them yourself ...I would
also get someone to come and look at the
house and see if there is a hole that they
can patch where these lil creatures are
coming through...Just spray oust or
lysol...To kill the smell and bacteria in
the air for now!...

You shouldnt mess with rat poison, im not
sure if you could breathe it or not, but
if you can it would be worse for you than
the rat urine smells. The presence of
rats is not any worse than the urine and
germs that are already there, even if you
got rid of all the rats. And if you
have any pets you could come in contact
with the poison from the animals being
exposed to it, not to mention it would
kill your animals.
You need the house sanitised to protect
from their germs and such.
Although we have had mice in our house
from time to time, I would not want to
bring a new baby home with mice or their
germs and urine in the air and on the
walls and carpet. Sanitize is the
key. Whether you are able to get rid
of the mice or not. The only thing
that will get rid of mice for good is the
"sound wave gadget". If you have
other small animals it will drive them
crazy, so it is not reccommended in that
case. As in guenie pigs, hamsters,
ferrets, might even bother cats or dogs, I
dont know. You plug it into an
electric socket and it send sound waves
that make the mice, and rats leave forever
as long as it is still plugged in. No
harmful poisons and no horrible mouse
traps. I would look on the internet
for them--or locally at hardware store,
or home improvement store.
And sanitize your whole house, under the
sinks, under cabinets, all cabinets, all
counter tops, shampoo carpets again, wash
all the walls, and window seals--before
baby comes home. But make sure you use
rubber gloves and avoid breathing any kind
of harmful cleaners.

house right when they call in with
complants
