Rodent Inspection Tool
Long-term control of house mice (Mus musculus) and rats (Rattus norvegicus) requires detailed attention to cracks and crevices that allow rodents to enter the structure. The challenge is that eyeball measurements of cracks and crevices are not the most accurate way to determine if the crack or gap is large enough to allow a rodent to enter. You could pull out a tape measure or ruler, which is time-consuming and a hassle. There has to be a better way, right?
Tired of looking for a ruler or tape measure to show scale/size in your photographs? If so, then you will want this credit card-sized forensic scale card. It easily fits in your wallet for easy carrying so you will always have it available when you need it.

Being Kind to Animal Pests 2nd ed. The text has been thoroughly revised and expanded in light of research and findings of professional wildlife control operators. Contrary to popular belief, cage and box traps are not automatically humane for captured animals. Cage/box-trapped animals can suffer greatly when cage and box traps are not used properly. If you want to offer a humane wildlife control service, don't simply think that cage/box trapping is enough because it isn't. Learn how to properly use cage/box traps to reduce animal pain and suffering.
This book is for you if you want to learn how to use cage traps humanely.
