Rodents can cause significant damage to your home and garden by chewing through wires, gnawing woodwork, nesting in your walls or subfloor and contaminating your food cupboard. Traditionally, rodenticides and traps have been used to wipe out rodent populations in homes, but homeowners are increasingly looking for humane alternatives to these traditional methods. It's possible to have rodents removed from your property humanely, but it's worth bearing in mind that this approach can take longer, particularly when there are pups in nests within your property.
