Keep Your Pets Safe From The Dangers Of Rat & Mouse Traps & Poisons With Natural Rodent Control

"Our pets count on us to protect them," says Earth-Kind owner Kari Warberg Block (www.Earth-Kind.com). "When they tangle with rats or mice in our homes, or get into mouse traps or poison, they can die."

About 30 % of the U.S. population has rats or mice in their home at some time during the year, Warberg Block says. Rodents can destroy the structural components of buildings and foundations. They also chew doors, insulation, plumbing, sewer, and electrical lines into tiny pieces. Rats and mice may cause up to 8 percent of all household fires. Worst of all, they spread more than 35 known diseases, from allergies caused by their urine and dander to hanta virus, the deadly lung disease.

3 ways that mice, rats, and rodent poison and traps can kill pets

Rodent control is important, but traditional methods—traps and poisons—put pets at risk. Here are three ways that rodents and rodent poisons can kill your pets.

1. Eating rodent poison. Many types of bait used to attract mice and rats contain ingredients that also attract pets. Curious pets find the poison bait packs or bars that you hid so carefully—and then face the same agonizing internal bleeding, seizures, breathing difficulty, permanent kidney damage, unconsciousness, and death you intended for the rodents. In 2008, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) received about 8,000 frantic calls from pet owners whose pets had eaten rat and mouse poisons.

2. Eating poisoned rodents. Pets that eat a mouse or rat that has ingested poison are also eating that poison. The effects of eating a poisoned rodent might not show up for weeks and are easy to misdiagnose. As your pet eats more poisoned rodents, the poison will become increasingly concentrated in his body, leading to severe pain, astronomical veterinary bills, and often a horrible death.

3. Eating trapped, disease-carrying rodents. Pets that find a rodent on a glue board or in a trap may approach it, increasing their exposure to any of those 35 known diseases that rodents can spread. A bite from a disease-carrying mouse or rat, or from a tick, mite, or flea on an infested rodent, can endanger your pet's life—and your family's, too.

Natural rodent control gets rid of mice and rats—safely

Many pets will try to catch rats and mice. The truth is, though, that once your home is infested, your pet won't be able to keep up. Rodents can find safety inside walls, crawl spaces, drains, ceiling tiles, and many other places your pet can't get to. And just one pair of mice can breed up to 15,000 more mice in a year.

When Kari Warberg Block lived on a farm with her young children and pets, she needed a safe way to keep rats and mice out of her home and vehicles. She wanted a natural rodent repellent that was environmentally safe. She needed it to be unattractive to pets but safe if they ate it. And she didn't want to kill the rodents and leave rodent skeletons and messes to clean up. She just wanted the rodents to go away—or, even better, to not come inside at all.

The solution Warberg Block invented for natural rodent control was Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch. It's the only product registered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as certified for use indoors and in enclosed areas. Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch is completely safe for the environment because its main ingredient is balsam fir oil. And best of all, it works. Pets aren't particularly attracted to balsam fir oil, but rats and mice hate the stuff and simply don't come in. Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch is a natural rodent repellent rather than a rodent—and pet—killer.
