The stretch ceiling is appreciated for its beauty and ease of installation. It is mounted a couple of centimeters below the "native" ceiling coating. In the resulting space, rodents may appear. They penetrate through cracks in the walls and ventilation holes. Then the main question becomes what to do with the mouse under a stretch ceiling.
How to lure a mouse
If you got a mouse, then dealing with it is easy. Enough to lure her from the shelter. But it will take a little time. There are two ways to do this quickly:
- hang a bottle with a piece of goodies near the chandelier;
- to hang in the same place a piece of the board at an angle. Put the bait on the board.
The first method is good because the mouse immediately falls into a trap from which it is difficult to escape. But not every animal agree to get into the bank. The second method increases the chance to lure the rodent, as the board seems safe for the pest, but you have to catch the beast on the floor.
On a note!
As a bait for mice her favorite foods should be used: sweet fruits, sunflower seed seeds with fragrant butter.
If you install the board to the floor, then at the end of the "mouse path" you can position:
- a mousetrap;
- trapped with glue for mice;
- live trap.
The first two devices are designed to kill the animal. Zhivolovka represents cage trap, which will close if a pest runs inside. Then the mouse can be released away from your home.
The use of poisons
If mice run around the stretch ceiling, you can get rid of them with chemicals. But be careful. The active substance of the drugs is able to poison a person and pets.
On a note!
When working with toxic drugs, gloves, a scarf and loose clothing should be worn. It is advisable to use a respirator to poison for mice did not get into the respiratory tract. After the procedure, you need to wash your hands and face, and wash clothes separately from other things.
The most popular drugs:
- Rats;
- Nutcracker;
- Rat death;
- Storm.
The first quickly kills mice. It is used no more than once every two months. The latter are blood anticoagulants. They change the composition of the blood and make the rodent crawl out into the fresh air.
Poison can be prepared from what is in any kitchen. If you need to get rid of a mouse in a stretch ceiling, then a simple home way is suitable:
- 100 g of flour, 150 g of sugar and 100 g of soda are taken.
- The ingredients are mixed with a wooden spatula in a plate.
- The composition is laid out in the holes under the lamp.
Soda causes gas formation in the mouse, which leads to its death.
If the animal managed to gnaw through the stretch ceiling, then the poison must be put in this hole.
The use of ultrasonic repeller
There are many mouse repellers on the market. According to customer reviews, not all of them work efficiently. To choose a quality product? you should pay attention to such factors:
- how far the waves propagate;
- does it ultrasonic rodent repeller frequency of work;
- how long does it work without recharging (if the device is running on batteries).
The device distributes ultrasound, affecting the nervous system of animals and insects.Pests rush to leave their homes and never return. To achieve the effect, the repeller should work continuously for 2-3 months.
Interesting!
Animals can adapt to ultrasound if it goes all the time at the same frequency. In this case, the device will not prevent the mice from starting up in the stretch ceiling.
There are devices that also propagate electromagnetic waves. They are more effective because ultrasound does not pass through walls, and only electromagnetic iron is an obstacle.
Master Call
If one mouse appears under the ceiling, then another may appear - rodents have a loophole in the human house. You can arrange mousetraps every time and lay out the poison, but it is easier to solve the problem by dismantling the stretch ceiling.
After the specialist finishes work, it is required to inspect the ceiling for the presence of mouse passages.
On a note!
A qualified craftsman can tell you what to do if a mouse has settled in the house.
Any cracks, even the smallest, are carefully closed. The ventilation hole is closed with a fine grill.
If the suspended ceiling is installed in a wooden house, then you need to check the attic. Often mice make nests there and begin to gnaw at the tree from which the ceilings are made.

- there should be no gaps in the ceiling and walls;
- the space should be clean and dry;
- ventilation ducts must be closed with a grill.
