Preventing rodents from entering your home or building is crucial to avoid infestations and potential damage.
Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for any gaps, cracks, or openings that rodents can use to get inside. Seal these entry points with materials like caulk, steel wool, or metal flashing. Pay attention to areas around pipes, vents, windows, and doors.
Keep the Surroundings Clean: Rodents are attracted to food sources. Store food in airtight containers, clean up spills promptly, and ensure garbage bins have tight-fitting lids. Trim vegetation and keep firewood and debris away from the house to eliminate hiding spots.
Proper Storage: Organize storage areas by using plastic containers instead of cardboard boxes. Elevate stored items off the floor and maintain a clutter-free environment to reduce potential nesting sites.
Regular Maintenance: Perform regular inspections of your home’s exterior and interior. Check for signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, or nesting materials. Act promptly if you notice any signs of infestation.
Use Traps and Baits: Set up traps and baits strategically in areas where rodents are likely to travel, such as along walls or in attics and basements. Snap traps, live traps, and bait stations can be effective, but ensure they are placed out of reach of children and pets.
