Preventing Pest Infestations of Home, Workplace & School
Placing physical barriers to prevent access and pest proliferation, coupled to pro-active pest control protocols like vigilant monitoring, documentation, intervention and follow-up can be a highly effective means of pest exclusion in the home, workplace and school.
Placing Rat Traps to Best Get Rid of Rats
Spring operated rat traps are widely available to rid a house, school, or workplace of rats, however proper placement of the rat traps ensures that more rats and mice will be caught. For best results, bait the rat traps with pieces of hot dog, bacon, liver or a trail mix of fruit, raisins, marshmallows or peanut butter rolled in oats. Or bait the rat trap with whatever the mice or rats have been gnawing on in the cupboard or attic, since you are probably going to destroy it anyway.

Just like homes, gardens and workplaces, schools can be made and kept pest-free by using Integrated Pest Management's least toxic methods of pest control.
