Ama-Raccoon noma ama-squirrels ku-Attic: Izintambo ze-Romex ezihlafunwayo, ama-Ton Soffits, kanye nokuxoshwa okuphephile¶

Ukuzwa izinyathelo ezisindayo, ezifana nezomuntu, ukutshiyoza kwephimbo, noma ukunwaya okuyaluza ngokuqondile ngenhla kodonga olusomile lwegumbi lakho lokulala kungaphezu kwesiphazamiso esiphazamisa ukulala: kungumlilo osebenzayo, ukungena kwamanzi okuhlelekile, kanye nezimo eziphuthumayo ze-zoonotic biohazard. Izingwejejeje zesihlahla (izingwejejejejejejejejejejejejejed ezimpunga ezisempumalanga, izingwejejejejejejejejejela ezibomvu, nezingwejejeje ezindizayo) zinama-incisors abukhali abukhali akhula cishe amasentimitha angu-15 (amayintshi angu-6) ngonyaka, okubaphoqa ukuthi baququde bengayeki amapulangwe enziwe ngokhuni, PEX, ijakhethi ye-PEX kanye namapayipi we-VC 12 240-volt non-metallic (Romex) izintambo zikagesi** ezigqitshwe ngaphansi kokufakwa kwe-attic fiberglass (Igundane noma igundane lihlafunwa izintambo kanye nokuhlanza i-hantavirus futhi umlilo we-attic kanye nokushisa kwefeni yokuqeda amandla). Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-raccoon yesifazane esikhulile (i-Procyon lotor) enesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-7 kuye kwayi-14 (amaphawundi angu-15 kuye kwangama-30) inamaphambili ahlakaniphile nomzimba ongaphezulu ukuze iklebhule amaphaneli e-aluminium, amapayipi ophahleni epulasitiki, nezinsimbi zophahla lwe-asphalt ngokuphelele ukusuka kumpheme wophahla (amasentimitha angu-10 ukuya kweyintshi) evula imvula.ukuvuza kophahla) ngenkathi kusungulwa indlu yangasese ye-raccoon indle yayo equkethe izigidi zamaqanda angabonakali e-*Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm)**, isilokazane esimelana nokushisa namakhemikhali esidala ubumpumputhe obungenakulungiseka, ukukoma, kanye ne-meningoencephalitis ebulalayo ye-eosinophilic kubantu uma ihogeliwe.

Okubi kunakho konke, abanikazi bezindlu abanovalo ngokuvamile benza iphutha elilodwa elilimaza kakhulu ekulawuleni izilwane zasendle: ukugibela isitebhisi phakathi nosuku nokubethela ucezu lweshidi lensimbi noma i-plywood phezu kwembobo ye-soffit edabukile ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa kuqala ukuthi ingabe udoti wama-raccoon ezingane anganyakazi (ikhithi) noma izingwejeje zezingane zifihliwe ngaphakathi kwegumbi lokugezela elingaphansi. Uma ukhiyela i-raccoon engumama ngaphandle kude nezinto zayo zokuncelisa, izodabula ama-shingles ophahleni olungomakhelwane noma ihlafune i-wood fascia emahoreni ambalwa; uma ukhiya i-raccoon noma squirrel ngaphakathi kwe-attic ngaphandle kokuphuma, isilwane esithukile sizoshaya ingaphakathi lakho le-gypsum drywall engu-13-millimeter (½-inch) bese siwela ngqo egumbini lakho lokuphumula noma emakamelweni okulala ezingane (i-skunk endlini noma ilulwane egumbini lokuhlala). Uma isilwane esincelisayo sasendle esinolaka noma esiphazamisekile singena endaweni ohlala kuyo noma silume umuntu noma isilwane esifuywayo (ukuchayeka kwamarabi kanye nokuhlangana namalulwane), hlukanisa igumbi futhi ushayele indawo yangakini izinombolo eziphuthumayo (911 e-United States naseCanada, 112 yonkana i-European Union, 999 e-United Kingdom) noma ukulawulwa kwezilwane kukamasipala ngokushesha. Lo mhlahlandlela uhlinzeka ngezinqubo eziphuthumayo zesinyathelo nesinyathelo ukuze uhlole ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo ezingaphakathi kwendlu yakho ephahleni ngesikhathi sosuku nomsindo, hlola izintambo zikagesi ezigayiwe ngaphandle kokuhlaselwa i-raccoon engumama, exosha abantu abadala kanye nezilwane zasendle ezisencane ngokuphepha usebenzisa ukuhlukumeza kanye neminyango yokuvala egcwele intwasahlobo egcwele indlela eyodwa, futhi ukhiphe ukungcola kwamanzi abulalayo *i-Baytrinespanescariling lamanzi kune-bleach engasebenzi.

Yenza lokhu manje¶

Uma uzwa ukungqubuzana okukhulu, ukuklwejwa, noma amazwi osilingi ophahleni lwakho lwendlu njengamanje, noma uma ubheka ngaphandle bese ubona iphaneli ye-aluminum edabukile, isivalo sembobo yophahla esiklebhukile, noma okokufaka okulenga ngaphandle kwe-eves, yenza lezi zenzo eziyisithupha ngokushesha:

1. UNGALOKOTHI ushayele isipikili noma usikulufize imbobo yangaphandle noma imbobo yokungena ophahleni uze uqiniseke ngamaphesenti angu-100 ukuthi isilwane singaphandle KANYE nokuthi awekho amakhithi ezingane anganyakazi angaphakathi kwegumbi elingaphansi: Phakathi kuka-Febhruwari no-August (inkathi yokuqala yokubeletha yama-raccoon nezingwejeje kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Nenkabazwe), cishe amaphesenti angu-80 ezilwane ezifuywayo zisebenzisa izilwane ezifuywayo ezifuywayo*izingane zakho zasendle ezifudumele. I-attic fiberglass njengenkulisa ephephile ezilwaneni. Ukuvala imbobo ngesikhathi izingane zingaphakathi kuqinisekisa ukuthi umama uzoklebhula imbobo yesibili enkulu ophahleni lwakho ebusuku ukuze azihlenge, noma izingane ezivaleleke zizogaqa emigodini yakho yangaphakathi engenalutho bese zifa, zidale iphunga elingabekezeleleki lokubola kwamasonto amaningi kanye nokutheleleka ngezimpukane.
2. Khomba uhlobo lwezilwane ezingenele ngamasekhondi angu-60 ngesikhathi esinembile ISIKHATHI SESUKU ozwa ngaso imisindo nosayizi wembobo yokungena yangaphandle:
3. Imisindo ezwakale ngo-DAWN (6:00 AM kuya ku-8:00 AM) kanye DUSK (4:00 PM kuya ku-6:00 PM), nokugwaza okusheshayo, ukugingqa amantongomane, nokuhlafuna okuphezulu; imbobo yokungena engu-4 kuya ku-7 cm (1.5 kuya ku-3 ku-in) ububanzi: I-Diurnal Izingwejeje Zesihlahla (Izingwejejejejejejejejejejejeje Ezimpunga, Ezibomvu, Ezibomvu).
4. Imisindo izwakale kahle EBUSUKU (ngemuva kuka-9:00 PM nangaphambi kuka-5:00 AM):
   • Izithukuthuku ezinomsindo omkhulu, ezihamba kancane, ezisindayo ezinomsindo we-bipedal, ukutshiyoza kwephimbo/okukhulayo/okufana nezinyoni, kanye ne-15-to-30-cm (6-to-12-intshi) eklebhukile ye-soffit noma i-roof vent: Nocturnal Raccoon (Procyon lotor).
   • I-patter ekhanyayo, esheshayo kanye nokucwina okuthambile ebusuku; igebe elincane elingu-2.5-cm (1-intshi) ophahleni: Ebusuku Izingwejeje Ezindizayo, Amagundane, noma Amagundane.
   • Ukushova okunensayo, okuthulile, ukuhayiza, nephunga le-musky elibi kuma-aves angaphansi kwe-attic noma kusilingi wegalaji: Ebusuku I-Opossum (Didelphis virginiana).
5. Hlola iphaneli yakho yesiphazamisi sikagesi ukuze uthole amabhulabhula e-Arc-Fault (AFCI) ahlahlekile noma amalambu osilingi acwebezelayo, bese ucisha amasekhethi egatsha angabalulekile uma uzwa ukhuni/intambo elumayo: Uma izingwejeje noma amagundane ehlafuna emgodleni wepulasitiki ongaphandle wentambo engu-120V ye-Romex egqitshwe ku-fiberglass-celluloseutral insulation imililo ye-attic evuthayo. Uma izibani ezingaphezulu zicwayiza noma zinuka njengepulasitiki eshisayo, phendula ama-ukukhanyisa phezulu / ama-circuit breaker e-attic ukuze AVALE* kuphaneli yakho eyinhloko ngokushesha.
6. UNGAQHUBIKI ukhuphuke ngendluzula ebusuku noma ugqokise ikhanda lakho elingenalutho endaweni emnyama lapho i-raccoon ivaleleke khona: I-raccoon yesifazane engu-10 kilogram (22-pound) evikela udoti wamakhithi ku-attic engaclean kahle izoshaja futhi ibulale imihuzuko ebucayi ebusweni nesandla ngemuva kokuhlinzwa. noma i-PEP). Hlola kuphela kusukela ekuvulekeni kweladi emini bebade ngenkathi ugqoke isibani esikhanyayo, izibuko zokuphepha, i-welding yesikhumba esiwugqinsi/amagilavu ​​okusebenza, kanye ne-N95/P100 yokuphefumula, futhi ubhodloze kakhulu emnyango we-attic hatch izikhathi ezingu-5 ngaphambi kokuwuphakamisa ukuze noma yimuphi umuntu omdala onganceli ahlehle kude nokuvulwa.
7. Uma imvula noma iqhwa lisondela futhi i-raccoon iklebhule imbobo yophahla noma i-soffit, faka "I-Hardware-Cloth One-Way Cone" Yesikhashana noma ugxumeke iseyili enesisindo ikhululeke phezu kwembobo yophahla (ephiniwe onqenqemeni olungaphezulu kuphela): Uma isiphepho sesizothela amanzi ku-roof louver, musa ukuyivala manje. Noma namathisela ucezu lukapulasitiki olusindayo onqenqemeni TOP kuphela ngaphezu kwembobo (ukwenza ukuvuleka okuxekethile okunetha imvula phansi kuyilapho uvumela i-raccoon evaleleke ukuba iphushe isuka ngaphansi kuhwalala), noma ukhuthaze umama ukuthi athuthe amakhithi akhe namhlanje kusihlwa esebenzisa I-3-Sense Eviction Protocol (Bright Strobe Talkaked a Raccoon Raccoon + Perfect I-Coffee Can) echazwe ngezansi.
8. UNGALOKOTHI ushanele, ucocise, noma uthinte imfucumfucu ye-raccoon ku-attic ngaphandle kokuvikela ukuphefumula kwe-P100 kanye nokuvala inzalo yokushisa: Indle ye-raccoon ibukeka njengendle yenja emaphakathi egcwele imbewu yamaberry futhi inqwabelana emakhoneni athile ayisicaba e-attic (izindlu zangasese ze-raccoon). Ngokungafani nendle yamagundane engabulawa amagciwane nge-bleach, I-Baylisascaris procyonis amaqanda ezikelemu avikelekile ngamaphesenti ayi-100 ku-chlorine bleach, ammonia, nezibulala-magciwane ezijwayelekile zasesibhedlela; kuphela amanzi abilayo (>100°C / 212°F), umusi, noma i-propane torch flame ibhubhisa izibungu ezithathelwanayo.

Isihlahla sesinqumo: i-attic wildlife intrusion identification, isheke likagesi, nokukhishwa okuphephile¶

Landela lesi sinyathelo ngesinyathelo sesihlahla sesinqumo sokusebenza ukuze uhlonze isilwane esisendlini yakho ephahleni, uqinisekise ukuthi zikhona yini izingane ezinganyakazi, futhi ukhiphe ukuxoshwa okunobuntu, okungenakonakala kwesakhiwo.

Shiya Imbobo EYODWA yokungena eyinhloko esebenza kakhulu ivuliwe, futhi uvikele unomphela yonke enye imbobo yesibili nesikrini se-gable esibuthakathaka usebenzisa 6-millimeter (¼-intshi) noma u-13-millimeter (½-intshi) 16-to-19-gauge insimbi eshicilele uthayela indwangu evikelwe ngesikulufu25-intshi yamahelimitha avikeleke ngesikulufu** esinwebekayo* amahelimitha angu-25 Amasentimitha angu-15 (amayintshi angu-6) ngaphezu kwezinkuni ezihlafunwa kuzo zonke izinhlangothi.
4. Kungani i-polyurethane ifutha igwebu (Great Stuff) kanye nesikrini sefasitela UNGALINGE umise izingwejeje noma ama-raccoon: Ukwandisa igwebu le-polyurethane kunokumelana nokuhlafunwa kwesinkwa esidala; izingwejejeje zihlafuna ngokuqondile ngegwebu elifuthayo, izikhonkwane zepulasitiki, ezinezikhala zewindi le-fiberglass, kanye ne-aluminium ezacile engu-0.4-millimeter ebaneka ngaphansi kwamasekhondi angu-120. Kuphela indwangu yensimbi eyisikali esindayo enegauge noma ishidi lensimbi engu-24 gauge elimisa ama-incisors angamagundane.
5. Okwesibili: Khipha Umnyango Ongafakwa Onxanye Wendlela Eyodwa Phezu Kwembobo Eyinhloko Yokungena:
6. Uma sicabanga ukuthi ingaphandle kwamafasitela amabili engane yezingwejeje ezingalunyulwanga amaviki angu-5 (ekuqaleni kukaMashi kuya maphakathi no-April kanye sekupheleni kukaJulayi kuya ku-Agasti, noma uma izingane sezinamasonto angu-6 ubudala futhi zidla ngaphandle nomama), khweza umnyango wokuthengisa we-One-Way Squirrel Exclusion (noma wenze isentimitha elingu-4-intshi ubude obuyimitha elingu-3-intshi elihlangene Indwangu yehadiwe engu-6-millimeter / ¼-intshi enesisekelo esibanzi esimboze imbobo futhi ithiphu layo elincane elingamasentimitha angu-5 / 2-intshi linamathela ngaphandle emoyeni eliqhele ngamasentimitha angu-25 ukusuka odongeni).
7. Lapho izingwejeje ziphuma ekamelweni elisophahleni ekuseni ukuze ziyothola ukudla namanzi, ziphusheka kalula ziphumele endaweni eyodwa ngocingo noma ichopho lefaneli; lapho zibuya ngemva kwamahora amabili, i-spring flap noma ithiphu lefaneli elimisiwe libavimbela ukuba babuyele ngaphakathi.
8. Shiya ifaneli yokuvala indlela eyodwa endaweni** yezinsuku ezingu-5 kuya kweziyi-7** kuze kube yilapho yonke imisindo ye-attic ima ngokuphelele, bese ususa ifaneli bese usikulufa isiqeshana esihlala njalo seshidi lendwangu yehadiwe phezu komgodi.

I-Deep dive 4: Ukuhlolwa komlilo kagesi kwangemuva kokuphuma kanye nokuvalwa kwendlu yangasese ye-Baylisascaris¶

Uma izilwane seziphumile futhi imbobo yokungena yangaphandle iboshwe ngensimbi, kusala izici ezimbili eziyingozi ngaphakathi kwe-attic yakho okufanele ziqondiswe ngaphambi kokuvala i-hatch:

1. Ukuhlola i-Attic Romex Wiring ye-Gnawed Insulation¶

• Gqoka i-NIOSH P100 noma i-N95 yokuphefumula, izibuko zamehlo, amakhava alahlwayo, namagilavu awugqinsi.
• Ukunyathela ngokuqinile phezu kwama-joists okhuni, khanyisa ithoshi kuwo wonke amakhebula kagesiamhlophe, aphuzi, noma awolintshi e-NM-B (Romex) egijima phakathi kwama-joists eduze kwembobo yokungena nendawo yesidleke.
• Ongakubuka: Izingwejeje namagundane zihlubula umgodla we-PVC wangaphandle futhi iphepha elingaphakathi ligoqe amakhondatha ethusi, lisale lingenalutho 120V izintambo ezimnyama (ezishisayo), ezimhlophe (ezingathathi hlangothi), nezethusi eziphansi zivezwe ngaphakathi kwe-cellulose eyomile noma i-fiberglass insulation.
• Ilungiswa kanjani intambo ye-attic ehlafuniwe: Ungalokothi usonge itheyiphu kagesi ekhebulani ye-Romex ehlafunwa yingwejeje lapho ithusi elingenalutho livezwa khona noma liqhunyiswa. Vala VALA leso sihlukanisi sesekhethi kuphaneli eyinhloko, uqinisekise ukuthi sifile ngesihloli se-voltage esingathinteki, usike ingxenye ehlafunwayo, bese uhlanganisa ocezwini olusha lwentambo yegeji ehambelanayo ye-NM-B ngaphakathi insimbi embozwe amabili noma amabhokisi okuhlangana kagesi epulasitiki afakwe ohlwini lwe-UL ajikijelwe phezu kwamapulangwe ngenhla komugqa wokufakwa ngaphakathi / NEC3000.

2. Isinyathelo ngesinyathelo Iphrothokholi ye-CDC Yokuhlanza Indlu Yangasese Yase-Raccoon (Baylisascaris procyonis)¶

Uma i-raccoon isebenzisa i-attic yakho, ibeka indle yayo endaweni eyisicaba, enyathelwe phansi ebizwa ngokuthi izindlu zangasese. Ngoba amaqanda e-Baylisascaris ezindimbane eziyisikelemu ayasinda ekubhujisweni, i-ammonia, nezibulala-magciwane ezijwayelekile, landela i-CDC Heat-Sterilization Protocol: 1. Izinto Zokuzivikela Eziyisibopho Zomuntu Siqu (PPE): Gqoka imaski yokuphefumula engu-NIOSH N95 noma ye-P100, alahlwayo amakhava ebhuthi, amakhava alahlwayo (isudi ye-Tyvek), kanye namagilavu e-nitrile/iraba ephindwe kabili. 2. Nciphisa Kuqala (Ungalokothi Ushanele-Ushanele noma Ushanele): Faka inkungu kancane inqwaba yendle kanye nokufakwa kwe-fiberglass ezungezile ngamanzi asuka ebhodleleni lokufutha ukuze uthuli olomile noma amaqanda angabonakali abe nomoya. 3. Phakamisa Indle kanye Nokufakwa Okungcolisiwe: Usebenzisa i-dustpan yepulasitiki elahlwayo noma izikhwama zikadoti zenkontileka yenkontileka ezisindayo ezingu-3-mil, khuphula indle emanzi bese ugoqa ingxenye yelulwane ye-fiberglass engcolile ngaphansi kwayo. Gcoba imfucuza kabili, uyivale nge-duct tape, bese uyilahla kudoti kamasipala. 4. Faka Amanzi Abilayo (>100°C / 212°F) noma iSteam ku-Exposed Wood Subfloor/Drywall: - Thela kancane noma isipontshi amanzi asanda kubiliswa (100°C / 212°F) kusuka eketela likagesi (noma faka isicoci sesitimu sasendlini esinezinga eliphezulu lokushisa esibanjelwe endaweni yokhuni imizuzwana engu-15 iyintshi yesikwele) ngaphesheya kwefreyimu yokhuni olungenalutho lapho indlu yangasese iphumule khona. Ukuthintana okushisayo okungaphezulu kuka-62 kuya ku-100 degrees Celsius (144 kuya ku-212 degrees Fahrenheit) kuguqula igobolondo leqanda futhi kubulale amaphesenti angu-100 ezibungu ze-Baylisascaris khona manjalo. (Ungalokothi usebenzise ithoshi le-propane elivulekile ngaphakathi kwe-attic yokuhlala yokhuni.) 5. Geza futhi Ulahle i-PPE e-Attic Hatch: Ngaphambi kokwehlela ephasishi lakho, hlubula amakhava akho alahlwayo, amakhava ebhuthi, namagilavu uwafake esikhwameni sikadoti phezulu kweladi, bese ugeza izandla zakho nezingubo zakho emanzini ashisayo anensipho ngokushesha.

Izinombolo zezimo eziphuthumayo zesifunda kanye nezinqubomgomo ze-ejensi¶

Uma isilwane esisophahleni lwendlu singena endaweni ohlala kuyo, sibonisa ukudiyazela/ubudlova, noma ukuluma/ukuklwebheka umuntu noma isilwane esifuywayo:

• I-United States neCanada: Shayela u-911* (bona izinombolo eziphuthumayo) noma isifunda sakho Inombolo Yocingo Yokulawula Izilwane / Impilo Yomphakathi Yamarabi ngokushesha uma noma yimuphi umuntu noma isilwane esifuywayo sithintana ne-raccoon (i-vector eyinhloko yamarabi asemhlabeni eNyakatho Melika eduze kwama-skunks, izimpungushe, namalulwane). Ukukhishwa kwe-raccoon roundworm kulandela CDC Baylisascaris procyonis imihlahlandlela yokuvimbela ukushisa.
• E-United Kingdom: Shayela ku-999* ukuze uthole imililo kagesi noma 101 / impilo yomkhandlu wendawo ngezingozi zezinambuzane. Ngaphansi koMthetho othi Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Shejuli 9), i-Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)* iwuhlobo lwezinhlobo ezihlaselayo zeSheduli 9: kuyicala e-UK ukukhulula ingwejeje empunga evaleleke endle. Abomdabu Izingwejeje Ezibomvu (Sciurus vulgaris) kanye nawo wonke amalulwane ase-UK avikelwe ngokuqinile ngokomthetho futhi akumele aphazamiseke endaweni ephakeme ngaphandle kwelayisensi ye-Natural England noma i-NatureScot.
• I-European Union: Shayela u-112* ngezimo eziphuthumayo. I-North America I-Raccoon (i-Procyon lotor) isohlwini lwe-EU Uhlu Lwezinhlobo Zezilwane Ezihlaselayo Eziphathelene Nenyunyana (Umthetho 1143/2014); thintana nezikhulu zezilwane zasendle eziqinisekisiwe ukuze ukhishwe ngokusemthethweni.
• I-Australia ne-New Zealand: Shayela u-000* e-Australia noma 111 eNew Zealand. E-Australia, ukushayeka kophahla lwasebusuku kuvame ukubangelwa yindabuko I-Common Brushtail Possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) noma i-Ringtail Possums, evikelwe ngaphansi kwezenzo zezilwane zasendle; ungakhipha i-possum ngomnyango wophahla oluya ngendlela eyodwa kuphela uma ukhweza elinye ibhokisi lesidleke sokhuni esihlahleni esiseduze.
• I-India ne-Asia-Pacific: Shayela u-112* e-India noma 119 e-Japan naseNingizimu Korea. E-Japan, ama-Raccoon (Araiguma)* kanye Ne-Masked Palm Civets (Hakubishin) ahlaselayo ama-attics (yaneura) alawulwa ngaphansi koMthetho wase-Japan Invasive Alien Species.

Imibuzo ejwayelekile ukubuzwa¶

Kwenzekani uma ngivele ngigibele phezulu noma ngivale ngesikulufu imbobo ye-soffit ngenkathi i-raccoon noma ingwejeje isengaphakathi kwe-attic yami?¶

Ungalokothi uvale imbobo yokungena e-attic uze uqinisekise ngomnyango wokuvala wendlela eyodwa noma ukuhlolwa kwephephandaba ubusuku obu-3 ukuthi i-attic ayinalutho ngokuphelele. Uma ubamba i-raccoon noma ingwejeje esikhulile endlini yakho ophahleni ungenayo indlela yokuphuma ukuze uthole amanzi, isilwane esiphelelwe amanzi emzimbeni, esithukile sizohlafuna futhi sishaye uzipho endleleni engakwazi ukumelana (okuvame ukuba wuphahla oluthambile lwamamilimitha angu-13/1/2-intshi ongaphakathi ophahleni olungaphakathi noma indlu yokugezela yokukhipha umoya) bese uwela uqonde emakamelweni akho okulala noma uhlafune intambo kagesi noma uqalise igumbi lokuhlala likagesi. umlilo we-attic. Okubi ngendlela efanayo, uma ukhiyela umama oncancisayo ngaphandle ngenkathi amakhithi engane yakhe eyimpumputhe esengaphakathi kwe-attic, umama uzoklebhula imbobo entsha sha ngophahla lwe-asphalt yakho kanye ne-plywood edecking ngalobo busuku ukuze afinyelele udoti wakhe.

Ingabe ama-ultrasonic plug-in axosha izinambuzane noma ama-mothball ayasebenza ukuze axoshe ama-raccoon noma izingwejeje ngaphandle kwe-attic?¶

Izifundo zesandiso zasenyuvesi ezilawulwayo kanye ne-Federal Trade Commission (FTC) zibonise ukuthi izixoshi ze-plug-in ze-ultrasonic azisebenzi ku-attics ngoba amagagasi omsindo we-high-frequency awakwazi ukungena ku-fiberglass batt insulation, amapulangwe okhuni, noma amakhona, futhi amagundane noma ama-raccoon ajwayele ukuzwa umsindo phakathi namahora angu-48. Okubaluleke nakakhulu, UNGALOKOTHI ulahle ama-mothballs (i-naphthalene noma i-paradichlorobenzene) ekamelweni elingaphansi ukuze uxoshe izilwane zasendle: ukusebenzisa ama-mothballs efulethini elingavalwanga kwephula imithetho yenhlangano ye-EPA yesibulala-zinambuzane, futhi intuthu yamakhemikhali anobuthi ishona phansi emakamelweni akho okulala futhi ibangele i-anemia ye-hemolytic, isibindi kanye ne-anemia ekulimaleni kwezingane kanye nokunciphisa ukugula kukamama wakhe. amakhithi.

Ngazi kanjani ukuthi i-raccoon noma i-squirrel otshanini bami emini inamarabi?¶

Ungacabangi ukuthi isilwane sinamarabi ngoba usibona siphapheme emini. Izingwejeje ngokwemvelo ziyi-diurnal (isebenza usuku lonke), futhi i-raccoon engumama onempilo enhle ivame ukuphakela ukudla namanzi ngesikhathi sasemini entwasahlobo nasehlobo ngoba ukukhiqiza ubisi lwezikhithi ezine ezikhulayo kuziphinda kabili izidingo zakhe zekhalori zansuku zonke. Kodwa-ke, KUFANELE usole amarabi noma i-canine distemper (futhi ugcine bonke abantu nezilwane ezifuywayo endlini ngenkathi ubiza i-Animal Control ngokushesha) uma i-raccoon noma esinye isilwane esincelisayo sihamba siyindilinga, sikhubeka njengokungathi sikhubazekile emilenzeni yangemuva, sibonakala singawunaki umsindo, senza imisindo ephezulu yokuklabalasa, ukuzilimaza, noma ukubonisa ukuhlukumeza.

Ngingakwazi ukusebenzisa i-vacuum yesitolo ngesihlungi se-HEPA ukuze ngihlanze ubulongwe be-raccoon ekamelweni lami elingaphansi?¶

Imihlahlandlela ye-CDC yeluleka ngokumelene nokusebenzisa isicoci se-vacuum sasendlini noma sesitolo ezindlini zangasese ezomile ze-raccoon, ngoba ukunyakaza kwe-vacuum kuphazamisa izinhlayiya zothuli ezincane futhi kungcolise ingaphakathi lepayipi le-vacuum kanye ne-canister ngamaqanda e-Baylisascaris roundworm angakwazi ukubulawa ngokugeza i-vacuum nge-bleach ngemva kwalokho. Kunalokho, gqoka isiphefumulo se-NIOSH N95/P100, izibuko zokuphepha, izembozo zebhuthi ezilahlwayo, namagilavu ​​amabili; faka inkungu indle kanye nokufakwa okuzungezile kancane ngebhodlela lesifutho samanzi ukuze ubambe uthuli; khumula futhi ugingqe udoti ngqo ezikhwameni zenkontileka ezisindayo ezinezendlalelo ezimbili; bese uthela amanzi abilayo (100°C / 212°F) okhunini olungenalutho olufake amafreyimu ngaphansi.

Ngabe ngidinga ukuhlehla kude kangakanani amagatsha ezihlahla ukuze ngimise izingwejeje nama-raccoon ekugxumeni emuva ophahleni lwami?¶

Izingwejejejejejejejejejejejejejejejejejela lasempumalanga ezimpunga kanye nezingwejeje zempungushe zingagxuma zivundlile zifike ku-2.4 kuya ku-3 wamamitha (8 kuya ku-10 amafidi) ukusuka esihlahleni esinyakazayo ziye onqenqemeni lophahla. Ngemva kokukhipha izilwane zasendle futhi uhlome izikhali zakho nezimbobo ngendwangu yensimbi eyigauge engu-16, sika wonke amagatsha esihlahla alenga ngaphezulu ukuze kube negebe elincane lomoya elicacile elingamamitha angu-3 (amafidi angu-10) kuzo zonke izinkomba ukusuka ophahleni lwakho nakushimula, futhi usonga ububanzi obungamasentimitha angu-60 (24-intshi-intshi ye-aluminum yobude obushelelezi beshidi le-aluminum ukuphakama) wamamitha angu-1.5 (amafidi angu-5) ngaphezu komhlaba ukuze ama-raccoon angakwazi ukuwakhuphuka.
