What is the best way to get rid of a rodent problem?

Answer 1

You can try to entice them to come out and trap them. However, it all may be simpler to hire an exterminator, since if you poison them and they die inside the walls, you have a larger problem, due to the odor.

Answer 2

If one is experiencing problems with rodents there are things that can be done to reduce the problem. It would depend on the rodent, but for mice and rats there are traps one can use. There are also safe traps for rodents such as racoons and skunks that will not harm the animal but will trap them so they can be released in a different location.
