Sealing Up

So before you trap your rats and relocate them to another place, first take care of rodent entry points found on your home’s roof and at the base of your home.

Release Them
Ok so you have finally trapped your rats. You are probably celebrating the occasion, but you should stop with celebration. Once you catch a rat or a mouse in your trap, you have to release it immediately. But, we are not talking here about releasing it inside your home.

You should release it outside your home, but not in your home’s backyard if you don’t want to see the mouse coming back again. Then what should you do? You should relocate your trapped mouse or your trapped rat at least 2 to 3 miles away from your home. This will prevent the mouse from coming back.

Why Relocate the Mouse or Rat 2 to 3 Miles from Home?
You should relocate the mice or rats only 2 to 3 miles from your home because that way they can still get used to their new surroundings.

However, relocating them more than 3 miles from your home will most likely kill them!
