A widely reported by the media in disaster, stirred the minds of the long-buried "fear of rats with," Yes, just as the United States famous microbiologists, Immunology home Hans Joseph ·

Qin (HansZinsser) in his "mice, lice, and history, writes: the human and mouse, will always be the natural enemies of each other.

"Renshu wars" lifted the curtain

This statement is not very accurate, at least in the human came to this earth in 250 million years on, the people and the mouse most of the time is unknown.

Each civilization's epic, we can see a snake, Tiger, Lion, Leopard, and various birds of prey, such as hunting civilization of the oldest remains of human culture. There we do not see the mouse shadow, because for the hunting of human ancestors, this mouse will not become a big meal, nor will it win food, much less on their life constitute a serious threat.

Things in ten thousand years ago has changed.

As the ice age ended and mastered the secrets of agricultural production, human domesticated wild rice, maize and grass, and many other plants. While the original occasionally feed wild rice, maize and grass of various small rodents suddenly find that they have a much easier way to survive, and humans live together. For people, this means that a major step forward in productivity, mouse, this is a new way of life. From this point onwards, the "renshu wars" opened curtain.

The birth of mice tools

It was the earliest discovery and efficient control tool is cat.

Cat ancestor, follow mouse came to human settlement, this is approximately 7000 years ago, the place and the Crescent Orgel — humanity's earliest land reclamation district. Add Garfield who has repeatedly threatened to put a kitten narman sent back to the capital Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.. It is a zoological well-versed cat, can "take you back home," said so euphemism. No cat like a plus as is human Garfield fully domesticated, they naturally is a separate action for animals, it also makes the relationship between man and a cat are subtle changes frequently. Furthermore, cat as mouse natural predators, they are very modest, never knew how to exterminate rat. Typically, cats can make a decrease in the density of rats 1/2. soon, a variety of ingenious traps will come out. Rat, squirrel cage, sticky mouse pad. Of course, the mouse can also learn through observation and again and again, easily solve this by authorities. Real life, I more than once been those setting smart, powerful mouse finger clamps. Would also like to say a sentence is that rats can see ultraviolet light, success in those mice mechanical catch a mouse, it will stay until the dying some urine, the urine can reflect UV radiation, to later peer alarm.

Kill it! kill it!

1000 years ago mankind has developed to a very high level, a large city, city mouse.

The early 14th century a.d., the emergence of sustainable climate anomalies, alternating drought and storm, a large number of voles are forced to survive into the city, originally only popular in the mountains of plague raging along with it. It followed the army a road into Mongolia, swept Europe, this is the famous "black death".

Facing the threat of the mouse so that the various Alchemist produced chemicals gradually as a rodenticide.

One of the most famous nature is arsenic. This odorless tasteless powder, naturally have become an excellent temperament Rodenticide. Modern science is such a chemical fanatic toward a climax: kill the rat-ling, ATI p, diphacine, kill mice, rats of enemy ...

First name are down to size.

Sadly, just kill the rat does not kill was a chemist with a headache. Landsman also penalised as to mice eat other animals, the remnant in mice of poisons, they have greater destructive power, because they are more of the food chain, this is the cumulative effect of agents.

Rat's tactics

Unfortunately, there are thousands of people, there are certain tricks of the rats, the regulation is ultra strong reproductive capacity, they have almost exponential speed of population growth model.

In theory, a pair of mice can produce nearly a year for future generations, which makes them in groups, with great flexibility in the face of famine and warfarin, which may be substantially reduced in the event of a transfer, we will.

Expanding the boundaries, the mice were blessed are the little they seek, dine, and humanity so generous, to support a group of mice was not too difficult.

Or say something nice, on the prevention, to provide three proposals: first, to seal up the block building all the gaps for Mus musculus, a dollar coin size of holes is that it's easy; second, to set traps for mice, though not always so wonderful instruments, but it does not pollute the environment, often with a rat's heart lies, bucket helps brain health; third, improving sanitation, can eat do not eat clean up, away from landfill, it was the site of a mouse.
