I'm rehabbing old house with potential rodents in the wall.?

What's the chances of seeing a rodent corpse in the wall. I hate to see those things but I can't avoid knocking down the wall of an old house. It's been over 2 years since anyone's lived in the house. Thanks!I'm rehabbing old house with potential rodents in the wall.?
Chances are your not going to find anything but dust %26amp; debri as critters generally use these area's as quick passage ways to their destination, they dont like trapping themselves, next if the house was built of good workmanship only air %26amp; bugs should reside, but you never can be to sure! If you do discover a rodent corpse he probably died of a stroke or was poisioned and did not make it to his destination trapesing through the walls. when you demo the corpse will probably go unnoticed due to being crushed by falling debri., ashes to ashes dust to dust. Good Luck %26amp; dont hold your breath.I'm rehabbing old house with potential rodents in the wall.?
';potential rodent';?? like in mouse sperm??
slight chance, most go in search of water when they are dying
I have seen mice trap themselves. I found a corpse when replacing a window. Not sure why but could be poisoned. A little advice for slowing rodents is caulk the holes of electrical, plumbing, heating/cooling gaps between joists and floors.

What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?

I know that rodents such as mice and rats can deliver many offspring, but I want to know which one gives off the MOST in addition to them.What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?
The above answer is right; the record litter size among wild mammals goes to the tailless tenrec, but according to the sources I found, the maximum record is 31 (of which 30 survived), not 32. However, the average n潞 of young is approx. 15.





The next largest litters correspond to some opossums (20 young), the ermine (a carnivore) with 18 kits, and the rest are rodents (with a maximum of 15 pups for some rat species).








Among domestic breeds (many of which have been selected to be prolific) the record belongs to a domestic mouse with 34 pups (33 of them survived.)





See the sources :-)What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?
pigs, and dogs, pop into mind.
A common tenrec can lay up to 32 babies at one time, the most of any mammal in the world.








tenrec


n : small often spiny insectivorous mammal of Madagascar;


resembles a hedgehog
platypus?? i know theyre the only mammal to lay eggs... i dunno how many though... dogs can have quite a few puppies... cats, too... it seems the smaller they are, the more they can have... just an observation... but some small mammals only have one or two... monkeys... :)





i dunno

How do i get rid of rodents of unusual size?

peanuts?How do i get rid of rodents of unusual size?
Depends on what kind of animal they are. Poison peanuts for gofers, a water hose and a baseball bat for moles, Rat poison for rats, but be very careful not to put it where pets or children can get to it. Those large sticky traps work well on rats too. But if you've got coons or possums then try one of those live traps and bait it with sardines in oil. If thats the case, set the traps at night. If it's a coon, good luck. They're plenty smart. Good luck. How do i get rid of rodents of unusual size?
my friend had a rat problem..we set out a bunch of bait (cat food, cheese, peanuts, peanut butter, etc) and sat around drinking beer with bb guns...that was a good day.
Congrats SG Doggies, u should ask YEAR of the RAT for answer! IMAO!


The rat will be pleased to entertain u well and dearly. lol.
build a better mouse trap haha

How do I get rid of rodents in my house without having to actually touch one or even see one?

Dude -- I hate to be rude, but let's start with the basics. First, clean your house. I don't mean straighten out the junk, I mean CLEAN. Throw stuff away. Use Pinesol (it comes in scents, now, not just that pine tar smell) or some other type of cleaning agent that does not require rinsing (the underlying pine scent helps repel all types of critters). Clean out under all your sinks (bath and kitchen) and throw away anything that is not absolutely required.





Close up all holes in all walls -- such as where pipes come in under sinks and behind gas ranges (rats and mice love crawling along hidden pipes -- they are a veritable rodent raceways). Check also behind your 'fridge, particularly if you have an icemaker (the water source has to come from some where). Ensure your dryer vent has some way of closing when not in use (there a lot of options available at every hardware store).





Find, dry and repair the source of all water leaks -- those buggers really need and seek out water (there might be a double whammy if there is a leaky pipe hidden in a wall or ceiling -- that just needs fixing). That includes emptying the drip tray under your fridge. Those buggers can live under that fridge in the warmth drinking from that drip tray.





Repair all openings in the siding of your house -- those buggers are getting in somewhere. Repair or replace all screen doors (I had a 3lb rat get into my house because I left the door wide open on a beautiful spring day. The rat died...so did my dog.)





Put your food away. No opened food containers on the counter, stove or fridge. Make sure all of the ';water traps'; are filled in all of your unused bathrooms and toilets (those are the things that keep the sewer gases out of your house, if they dry out they provide an open source for rodents and insects to come in from the sewer (yuck).





Now, once you've closed all means for the buggers to get in (and out) it's time to kill those that you have. If you don't mind the smell of putrifying rodent bodies, go ahead and lay out some DCon -- BUT NOT IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR PETS. I prefer the old fashioned ';clap-traps.'; They may be a bit primative, but you don't have rodent carcasses fermenting in places you can't see. I usually bait the traps with peanut butter and throw the whole thing away once I capture a bugger. If you reuse the traps, you may have boil them to get the smell of the dead one off the trap otherwise you may not catch another one. Put the traps in corners that are out of the way but are visible enough to see if they caught anything. Keep the bait facing away from the corner.





If rats are infesting your house, you may have to fill all of the holes with a combination of broken glass (use broken beer bottles) and steel wool. The rats will chew thru vertually any other material, so the glass/steel wool will act as a rodent barrier underneath the cosmetic caulk or foam filling the hole.





You'll get rid of them all if you are merciless and relentless. As nasty as it is, you'll just have go on a full scale attack.





Good luck.How do I get rid of rodents in my house without having to actually touch one or even see one?
glue traps, but unfortunately you'll have to see them. i mean, they're going to get stuck, die, and eventually smell. you'll want to get them out before that happens.How do I get rid of rodents in my house without having to actually touch one or even see one?
you can buy those roach motels for mice and rats. ya know - they go in but they don't come out and you never have to see them but you DO have to place the box...more than likely in your attic next to all the little poopies
Try one of those ultrasound devices.
Call the ORKIN man!!!
exterminator
Get an exterminator because that way you can just tell them what to do. Though it may be a little expensive.
You need to call a pest control service and they will come montly if you want.


That is what I do.


You may see a bug every now and again to due the season change, but you should be pretty well- bug free.
Hire someone, then leave for the day. That way, they can get rid of the rodents, and you don't have to watch.
you can put out Dcon, but then they'll crawl up in your walls and die.
Childproof while they are at school!





(Sorry, I couldn't resist).

What are the harmful effects of Rodents to the public?

Well, I made this question here because the search results were no the ones I am looking for. It's kinda hard to just use search sites like Yahoo! I thought that maybe other people can or may tell me the answer.. =)What are the harmful effects of Rodents to the public?
Plague mostly or what the used to call black death.. and also rabies and just about any really bad disease or insect..What are the harmful effects of Rodents to the public?
Rodents are absolutely disgusting. They carry diseases, caused the plague, and chew up everything.
rodents, like rats and mice carry disease for one thing. They also eat things that cause public problems, like wiring.
Ew, well unless Rodents with a capital R is the proper name of something else entirely I can tell you....





rats are bad-tempered disease mongers that have been known to bite, chew on, and attack humans especially in Manhattan, there have been babies eaten by them. It sounds funny but it has seriously happened.





Deer Mice, Rock Squirrels, Prairie Dogs, Woodrats, Chipmunks, House Mice,


Kangaroo Rats, Rabbits, Brush Mice, Ground Squirrels, and Gophers carry the Hantavirus in their bodies and droppings, which is very harmful and dangerous to humans who come in contact with it.....I think it is fatal without treatment.





prarie dogs burrowing can ruin crops and cause structural damage to buildings.





ferrets are banned from being owned in Hawaii because they run such a high risk of carrying rabies





rodent borne diseases also include Weil's disease, the bubonic plague, the pneumonic plague, lassa fever, and lymphocyctic choriomeningitis.





bats carry the lyssavirus.





They basically just harbor a lot of nasty disease and can destroy things based on the location of their habitat. I do feel bad that they get blamed so much for ';structural destruction'; because cities and buildings are expanding into their natural homes.





Recent health studies have shown a rise in hospital admittances from rodent bites and disease....probably a reflection of urban expansion into rural land, as that would lead to increased rodent contact.

Can you tell me the ending of Maurice and his educated rodents?

I know you think i didnt read the book... but i can swear i did. but at school i dont know how to say the ending... can u tell me how??? write the exact answer if a teacher said:


what is the ending of maurice and his educated rodents? in brief description please??





thx guys


please... only reasonable answers!Can you tell me the ending of Maurice and his educated rodents?
Darktan's group is successful in rescuing an injured Hamnpork, though Darktan himself, the head of the Trap Disposal Unit, finds himself in a trap. After a near-death experience, and the death of Hamnpork, he assumes leadership, and sets out after Dangerous Beans. Maurice, in the meanwhile, has given in to his conscience and is also seeking them, but the voice gains power over him. Malicia and Keith, after gaining freedom, trick the rat catchers into revealing their secret by tricking them into thinking they have been poisoned. The rat catchers have created a powerful rat king 鈥?several rats, tied together at the tail, who make a single mind with power over others 鈥?who is named Spider, being made of eight rats (eight being a magical number on the Discworld).





Spider is interested in Dangerous Beans; other rats he can control, but Dangerous Beans has a mind similar to his: one that thinks for others. Dangerous Beans refuses Spider's offer of jointly ruling, as Spider wants to wage war on humans. As this happens, Malicia and Keith, under Spider's control, are about to set free the trapped rats. Spider tries to destroy Dangerous Beans' mind; this is felt by his army of rats, and Maurice. Dangerous Beans is able to resist, but Maurice reverts to being a cat, and the cat instinct tells him to pounce on Spider, though enough of his mind remains to tell him to sever the knot in Spider's tails.





Darktan's army, who have been fighting Spider's rats, find Peaches in Spider's lair, which is burning after Peaches dropped a match. Maurice, seeing Dangerous Beans, attacks and kills him. He emerges carrying the body of Dangerous Beans. When he is safely out, he falls over and dies. In ghostly form, he sees the ';Bone Rat'; coming for Dangerous Beans. He attacks him, but is picked up by Death, with whom he strikes a deal: one of his remaining lives for Dangerous Beans'.





Though Spider is defeated, there is still a problem remaining: the rat piper is due to arrive the next day. The rats set about rounding up the other, non-intelligent, rats ('keekees'). When the piper arrives, Keith challenges him. His pipe had been broken by the rat-catchers, so he uses a borrowed trombone, to the sounds of which Sardines comes out dancing. When the piper starts to play his magical pipe, the rats plug their ears to avoid being charmed. One rat does come out: Mr. Clicky, a clockwork rat the rats use to test traps.





The piper calls Keith aside, and tells him the tricks of the trade: the pipe contains a hidden slide position for a trick note that drives rats away, the stories are made up so people will be scared into paying. Keith and the piper then lead the keekees out of town 鈥?Keith wants to maintain the story of the piper, and the rats want a convenient way to set the keekees free.





Once that has been done, the rats emerge, offering to tell the humans where to find the stolen food and money, in return for living peacefully with them. Maurice negotiates, selling the humans a promise of a brighter future, with the rats as a tourist attraction. Keith stays on as the town's piper, and the town becomes a tourist attraction, as Maurice predicted, and everybody remarks on how clean the place is.





Later, Maurice finds a child to whom he asks ';Hey, stupid looking kid. You wanna be Lord Mayor? No, down here kid.';

Beside feeding live food like rodents or birds to Ball Python, what else can I feed my Ball Python?

My Ball Python is still juvenile (2 ft long).


I do not want to feed live living things to my snake. Anyone has any idea or experiences feeding non live to snakes?


Thanks.Beside feeding live food like rodents or birds to Ball Python, what else can I feed my Ball Python?
The Ball Python will typically eat mice when small, and mice, rats or gerbils when full grown. One feeding per week is sufficient.





The Ball Python is a notoriously difficult eater, especially if it has been captured in the wild. Many owners experience tremendous frustration in getting their pets to eat.





If at all possible, pre-killed mice are the preferable choice. These are available from most pet stores at a resoanble price, and can be had in a variety of sizes. Simply warm up the mouse to body temperature (100F), and place it in the terrarium. Don't handle the mouse with your hands, as your scent may confuse the snake.Beside feeding live food like rodents or birds to Ball Python, what else can I feed my Ball Python?
they only eat smaller rodents like hamsters, mice, rats, Guinea pigs, and things like that. if you dont like feeding live (i dont either for my snakes health) then you can try buying a frozen one and puttin it in warm water to thaw it out. once the mouse is warm, use a pair of tongs and make it wiggle in front of the snake. make it ';look'; alive. it may take a little while to get your bp over to frozen, or..she/he may not take frozen. i would try it and see what happens. i just got my other bp and i plan on puttin her on frozen (hopefully!)


and dont put the frozen one in the mic..it could burn your snake. and like someone else said, dont use your hands, use tongs. if she does not take it you can also try putting some tuna juice or chicken broth on the mouse to make it more intresting to the snake. good luck!
You can feed frozen/thawed rodents or. pre-killed rodents. Birds are not as nutritionally complete to feed as rodents are. In the wild, the more common and natural prey item for the ball python is an African rodent species called the geraboa.
if you feel bad for feeding live food for a snake you shouldn't have gotten one





i would say get a different pet
Frozen rodents.
