Rodent Infestations: Trapping vs. Baiting

When faced with a rodent infestation, homeowners often ponder the best way to eliminate these unwelcome guests: trapping or baiting? Each method has its pros and cons.

Trapping involves setting up physical traps to capture rodents. It's an effective option, allowing you to quickly reduce rodent infestations inside and outside. Traps are effective, but they require regular monitoring and may not address the entire population.

Baiting, on the other hand, uses rodent baits to eradicate rodents. It's efficient and can target a broader range of pests. It’s important to use the proper bait stations and keep them secure to reduce the risk of allowing non-target animals access to the bait.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your preference, the severity of the infestation, and safety considerations. Consulting with a pest control professional can help you make the right decision for your specific situation.
