Can I Prevent Mice And Rats From Entering My Home?

Rodents are quite resourceful at finding ways to gain entrance to places where food and warmth are available. That does not mean you cannot take steps to help keep them out. It’s important to understand how small a space they need to slip into your home. Chances are good that small openings you think are too small to allow these pests in are large enough. For example, a mouse needs only a hole as small as a dime! Rats require a slightly larger hole, but can get through a hole only the size of a quarter. Read on for some information about deterring these pests:

• Inspect your home’s exterior, keeping an eye out for even the smallest openings, and seal any that you can find.
• Don’t forget to include your foundation in the inspection. Make repairs to any small crack.
• Pay special attention to pipes and vents and rodent-proof them.

Are There Specific Things That Attract Pests?

• While good housekeeping practices are important, keep in mind that an infestation can happen to the cleanest home. It is not a reflection on your sanitation!
• Choose tightly covered and rodent-proof trash containers.
• Do you have any fruit or nut trees? During harvest season, keep the area under the tree cleaned up. Fallen fruits attract a variety of pests.
• Inspect your garage, garden shed and basement for materials that may attract pests. If you have things like grass seed or flower bulbs or grass seed, store them in containers that rodents cannot chew into.
