Dealing with a rat infestation using mouse traps can be effective. First, choose the appropriate type of mousetrap, such as spring-loaded, electronic or glue traps. Position mouse traps strategically in areas where there is evidence of activity, using attractive baits. Place mousetraps perpendicular to the walls and check them regularly, carefully removing trapped rats. If there is no success, reposition the mousetraps or increase the number. Dispose of rats safely by wearing gloves and taking ongoing prevention measures. If the infestation persists or is extensive, consider seeking assistance from pest control professionals.
