[ 02 ] Products
Plant-based cedar-oil spray for pets, bedding and furniture. Best balance of safety and effectiveness.
Best for Prevention and mild infestations with pets in the home
Peppermint and clove spray for dogs and home surfaces. About a third cheaper per ounce than Wondercide.
Best for The cheapest way to treat dog-safe home surfaces
Low-concentration plant formula made for direct pet application, including cats 12 weeks and older.
Best for Applying directly to the pet as part of a full plan
Adulticide plus IGR in one can for severe home infestations. Environmental use only, never on pets.
Best for A severe home infestation you have already confirmed
Adulticide plus IGR at a mid-range price, widely available. Home surfaces only.
Best for A mid-budget home treatment that stops the next generation
Best encasement Waterproof zippered cover rated against bed bugs and dust mites. The locking zipper and tight weave do the two jobs that matter: sealing bugs in and showing new ones on white fabric.
Best for Sealing an infested bed today
Runner-up cover Bed-bug-rated zippered cover in standard mattress depths. A solid second option when the top pick is out of stock in your size.
Best for A backup when your size is out of stock
Best traps Eight heavy cups that guard a full bed plus a chair. Textured outer ramps let climbers in while slick inner walls keep them there for the morning count.
Best for Counting and monitoring an active infestation
Best for one bed Four white cups that make trapped bugs easy to spot against the plastic. Enough for a single bed; add a second pack for sofas.
Best for A single bed as a first monitoring step
Best snap trap One-press setting, sensitive trigger, and a grab tab for no-touch disposal. The cheapest path to a full trap line: buy enough to place several per room.
Best for The first trap line in a mouse room
Runner-up snap Oversized trip pedal and high-impact kill bar with one-click set and release. Slightly more visible aftermath than the Tomcat, same reliable mechanism.
Best for Multi-room trapping on one purchase
Best electronic High-voltage tunnel kill with LED catch alerts and no-touch chamber emptying. Best where cleanliness matters most; needs fresh alkaline batteries and indoor placement.
Best for Homes where cleanliness matters most
Best live catch Metal multi-catch box with a viewing window that holds up to 30 mice per setting. The catch-and-release answer for homes with kids, pets, and ethical objections to killing.
Best for Homes with children or pets, or an objection to killing
Best snap trap One-click set, oversized trip pedal, and a high-impact kill bar, with mounting holes for pipes and beams. Rated for indoor and outdoor use, reusable, and cheap enough to build a full trap line.
Best for A rat trap line along runways
Runner-up snap Sets by hand or foot, with interlocking teeth and a removable bait cup that fills without setting the trap. A proven second snap for widening the line or covering a second runway.
Best for Widening a line or covering a second runway
Best electronic High-voltage tunnel kill with a two-minute shock cycle and a blinking green LED on catch. Best where no-touch disposal matters most; indoor use only, on four AA batteries.
Best for No-touch disposal where rodents die indoors
Best live catch Galvanized steel cage listed by Havahart for rats, for indoor and outdoor use. The catch-and-release answer where killing is off the table; check it daily and confirm local release rules first.
Best for Live catch where killing is off the table
No product matches that combination.

Termites in the structure, bed bugs through walls, wildlife in the attic, a heavy rodent load: no product on this page fixes those. Two weeks of correct DIY is the honest limit — past that you are paying for diagnosis, not for a can.
